The Problem

OTAs are bidding on your brand.

Most hospitality properties pay 15–25% commission on every OTA booking. For a property doing $2M in annual revenue, that's $300K–$500K lost to commissions every year — 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.
