The contact page makes your lodging property reachable through AI. When a traveler asks "how do I contact this hotel?" or "what is the front desk number?", AI pulls from the structured data here. This blueprint ensures your phone, email, address, and front desk hours are all machine-readable.
The contact page is the definitive source for how to reach your property. AI systems often pull contact details from this page specifically, so structured data here ensures your front desk number, reservations line, and address are accurate across every platform.
ContactPoint nodes for "front desk" and "reservations" let AI route travelers to the right department.PostalAddress with street, city, state, and zip ensures AI can give accurate directions to your property.openingHoursSpecification on the contact page tells AI when the front desk is staffed, which may differ from check-in availability.ContactPage as the WebPage type tells AI this is specifically the page for reaching your property.Each field in the template below serves a specific role in how AI systems discover, classify, and recommend your business.

You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Lodging Business Contact page. AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org. Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list. Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field. REQUIRED — do not proceed without these: 1. City 2. Domain 3. Email 4. Faq answer 5. Faq question 6. Front desk close 7. Front desk email 8. Front desk open 9. Front desk phone 10. Latitude 11. Longitude 12. Main phone 13. Property name 14. Reservations email 15. Reservations phone 16. State 17. Street address 18. Zip OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them: 1. Any additional details not covered above Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page. Output requirements: - Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags - schema.org vocabulary only - Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included - Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Lodging Business Contact" - No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples - After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation
Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai
Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your contact page.

Yes. If your front desk and reservations lines are different, separate ContactPoint nodes let AI route travelers to the right department. When someone asks "I need to change my reservation," AI can provide the reservations number instead of the general front desk line.
Set opens to "00:00:00" and closes to "23:59:59" for all seven days. This tells AI your front desk is always available, which it can communicate to travelers asking "can I call the hotel at night?"
The geo coordinates handle location. For transportation details like airport shuttles, add a LocationFeatureSpecification with "name": "Airport Shuttle" in the amenityFeature array. AI increasingly uses this data when travelers ask about getting to a property.
