01
The challenge
Nashville Luxury Rental is a four-bedroom home in Sylvan Park with a heated plunge pool, a rooftop porch and a private elevator. Bookings already ran through Hospitable, but the website was a basic GoDaddy page. The Airbnb and Vrbo listings did the selling, beside every competing house and with the marketplaces’ fees on top.
The owners wanted a site that shows the house the way Airbnb does: photos first, clear facts, real reviews, and dates in a couple of taps. It also had to explain why the location works, so guests would book direct. And it had to show up when people search Google, or ask ChatGPT, for a place to stay near Vanderbilt or downtown.

What we built
Research
- Competitive research on rentals in Sylvan Park and West End: how they sell the location, what they show and what they leave out
- A page for each kind of trip: medical stays near Vanderbilt, extended stays, pickleball weekends and family reunions
The listing
- An Airbnb-style home page with a photo mosaic, highlights, bedrooms, amenities and a video tour
- A 57-photo tour, room by room
- Drive times to Vanderbilt, the hospitals, Broadway and the airport, with a map of the area (the exact address is sent after booking)
- Guest reviews pulled daily from the booking sites, each labelled with its source
Booking
- Hospitable’s live calendar on the home page and on its own Book page
- A worked price example that includes Tennessee and Davidson County taxes, since Hospitable only adds them at checkout
- Request-to-book, the minimum stay and the city’s short-term rental permit, stated up front
Google & AI search
- Structured data for the rental, its reviews, FAQs and photos
- llms.txt files that give ChatGPT and other AI assistants the facts about the house
- An image sitemap, Search Console verification, and redirects for the old site’s links
- Moved the domain to Vercel without touching the owners’ Microsoft 365 email
