Client story / HostNest
A local business.
A clearer website.
Visibility in search.
How website redesign and a focus on local services came together for HostNest—with documented appearances in Google Search, AI Overviews, and AI Mode.
The business
Helping property owners discover HostNest.
HostNest provides Airbnb and short-term rental management services for property owners on the North Shore. Its website introduces the business, explains its management offer, and gives prospective clients a way to enquire.
Web Design Cap redesigned the website and worked on its local search presence, including content focused on Airbnb management in North Vancouver.
This case study brings the website work and captured search results together to show the project in context.
Our approach
A website with a clear local focus.
The project combined a refreshed website with local service content. The emphasis was on helping visitors understand what HostNest does, where it works, and how to start a conversation.
A refreshed business website.
The redesign gives HostNest a distinct presentation, bringing its services, property imagery, and contact options into one coherent experience.
Service and location relevance.
North Vancouver content connects the Airbnb management offer with the area HostNest serves, giving property owners locally relevant information.

What this project demonstrates
Design and search belong in the same story.
HostNest’s project illustrates the connection between a business website and local discoverability. The design presents the offer, while the search captures document visibility for relevant service queries.
For a property owner comparing management providers, those appearances create opportunities to discover HostNest and explore its services. Search visibility is one part of that journey; enquiries and client acquisition require separate measurement.
