ServiceCited for boarding & kennels
SEO and AI search for boarding kennels, catteries and home boarders
Leaving a pet for a week is a big decision, so owners research boarding early and carefully. ServiceCited makes sure your website shows what they check — your licence, your vaccination rules, where pets sleep and play, and how to book busy dates — in words Google and AI can read.
What your customers ask Google and ChatGPT
- “dog boarding kennels near me with good reviews”
- “cattery near Harrogate for two weeks in August”
- “home boarding for a dog who hates kennels”
- “licensed dog boarding near me”
- “what vaccinations do boarding kennels ask for”
ServiceCited checks whether your site gives search engines and AI assistants what they need to answer searches like these with you.
What goes wrong
Where boarding & kennels lose customers online
The problems we find most often — and every one of them is fixable.
Your licence is a framed certificate
In England, kennels, catteries and home boarders are licensed by the local council, which also gives a star rating. A photo of the certificate can't be read by search engines or assistants.
Vaccination rules locked in a PDF
Which vaccinations you ask for, how recent they must be and what proof to bring are the first things owners check. In a downloadable form, search can't see them.
Facilities only shown in photos
Heated kennels, outdoor runs, a separate cat block, time to play: if they only appear in a gallery, nobody can search for them.

FAQ
Questions from boarding & kennels
Type to search these questions, or ask anything about getting found on Google and AI.
Should I publish my star rating?
In England, if you'd like to, yes: write it as text exactly as it appears on your current licence, and update it after each inspection. Owners can check it with your council, so never round it up.
Kennels or home boarding: does it change anything?
Yes. Owners search for them separately and ask different questions: how many dogs stay with you, where they sleep, whether there are other pets in the house. Say clearly which you offer.
Can posts explain kennel cough or vaccinations?
Posts can explain your own rules and why you have them, and ask owners to talk to their vet about their pet's vaccinations. They never give medical advice or say whether a pet is fit to board.
