Hotel & B&B Marketing for More Direct Bookings

Every reservation that comes through Booking.com or Expedia hands away 15–25% in commission. We build the ads, the hotel SEO, and the booking-engine experience that win the guest directly — lifting occupancy and RevPAR for boutique hotels, inns, and bed-and-breakfasts while keeping that commission in your pocket.

The Marketing Problems Hotels & B&Bs Face

Steep OTA commissions, seasonal demand swings, and review-driven decisions mean independent lodging needs smart, direct-booking-focused marketing.

💸

OTA Commissions Eat 15–25% of Every Booking

Booking.com, Expedia, and Airbnb take a 15–25% cut on every reservation they send you. On a $200 room night, that's $30–$50 gone before housekeeping. Over a year, the commissions can equal a full-time salary you never see.

🔍

Guests Discover You On OTAs, Not Your Site

When someone searches "hotels in [city]" or "where to stay in [city]," the OTAs dominate page one with massive ad budgets. Your own property is buried — so even your future repeat guests find you on a platform that charges you to reach them.

📅

Seasonal & Midweek Gaps Drain Revenue

Weekends and peak season sell out while shoulder months and midweek nights sit empty. Without demand-shaping campaigns, your RevPAR craters in the off-season and you discount on the OTAs just to fill rooms.

⭐

Reviews Decide the Booking Before You Do

Travelers compare your Google and TripAdvisor rating against every nearby property before they ever click "book." A handful of stale or unanswered reviews can quietly cost you bookings you never knew existed.

📱

A Clunky Booking Engine Loses the Sale

If your site is slow, the room photos are weak, or the booking widget feels less trustworthy than Booking.com, guests bounce back to the OTA. A friction-filled booking flow hands the commission straight to the platforms.

💍

Weddings & Events Slip to Competitors

Room blocks for weddings, reunions, and local events are high-value, repeat-driving business. Without targeted campaigns and a clear "book a block" path, those guests book a chain hotel down the road instead of your property.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

OTAs like Booking.com and Expedia charge 15–25% on every reservation. We build campaigns and a website that win the direct booking instead — through brand-defense ads, Google Hotel Ads, hotel SEO, and a fast booking engine — so the commission stays in your pocket on every room night we shift direct.

Yes. Independent properties live and die by occupancy and direct revenue. A single direct booking that would have come through an OTA saves you 15–25% in commission, and repeat guests booked direct cost almost nothing to win again. For small inns, this is often the highest-ROI marketing you can run.

Google Ads and metasearch can start producing direct bookings within the first week of launch. Hotel SEO for terms like "bed and breakfast [city]" and "where to stay in [city]" typically takes 4–8 months to mature, but it compounds into commission-free bookings for years.

Yes. Off-season fill is a core part of our strategy. We run shoulder-season packages, midweek offers, event-and-wedding room-block campaigns, and retargeting to past guests so your calendar stays full when demand naturally dips.
