The Problem

OTAs are bidding on your brand.

OTAs typically charge 15–25% commission on every booking they bring you (source: Mews). For a property booking $2M a year through OTAs, that's $300K–$500K lost to commissions annually — money that could be profit, renovation budget, or guest experience upgrades.

Worse: OTAs outbid you on your own brand name in Google Search. Guests Googling your property see the OTA listing first, click through, and you pay commission on a guest who was already coming to you. Most properties don't even know this is happening.

Our Approach

Hospitality-specific from day one.

01
Step 01

Hotel Ads + Search built as one strategy

Standard Google Ads cover top-of-funnel search ("boutique villa Bali," "family resort Phuket"). Google Hotel Ads compete in the hotel pack right where guests compare properties. We architect both as one integrated campaign — same budget pool, shared negative-keyword logic, single real-time performance dashboard — instead of two disconnected accounts.

02
Step 02

Booking-engine intelligence in the bidding

Most agencies treat your booking engine as a black box. We pull ADR, occupancy, lead time, and channel mix into the bid logic — so when your direct rate is competitive on a Tuesday in shoulder season, bids go up; when you're sold out three weeks out, bids drop instead of wasting spend.

03
Step 03

Seasonal campaign calendars, not flat spend

Hospitality is cyclical. We map your high/shoulder/low season pattern, build a 12-month calendar that ramps brand awareness 6-8 weeks before peak, runs urgency-led search ads during booking windows, and deploys targeted promo offers in low season. No wasted spend in dead months.

04
Step 04

Direct-booking incentive layer

Driving traffic isn't enough — you have to win the booking against the OTA listing of your same property. We audit your booking engine, layer in rate-match guarantees and direct-booking perks (free transfers, upgrades, F&B credits), and build retargeting sequences for lookers who didn't convert.

Modeled Scenario

The direct-booking math, modeled on a 45-room boutique resort.

Modeled projection — 12 months

Assumed property 45 rooms · $150 ADR · 70% occ.
OTA booking share, modeled 82% → 60%
Commission band applied 18%
Commission recovered, modeled ≈$68K/yr

Commission band from the published 15–25% OTA range (Mews). Illustrative model — not a client result.

The Assumptions

A hypothetical 45-room boutique resort at $150 ADR and 70% occupancy books roughly $1.7M in room revenue a year. At 82% OTA share and an 18% commission, the OTA line item runs around $250K annually. Shifting 22 points of that mix to direct recovers ≈$68K of it — every year, compounding as the direct channel grows.

What We'd Actually Do

Launch Google Hotel Ads with commission-based bidding. Run brand-defense Search so OTAs stop winning the property's own name. Add a rate-match guarantee + direct-booking perks (free transfer, room upgrade) to the booking engine. Deploy retargeting sequences for visitors who don't book within 3 days.

Every number above is a labeled projection, not a past client. The free audit re-runs this math on your property's actual booking economics.
