Hotel digital marketing that wins more direct bookings
Every booking through an online travel agent costs you commission. We help independent hotels, B&Bs and guest houses get found directly on Google and turn lookers into guests who book on your own website.

How guests find and book hotels
Travellers often find a hotel on Google or a booking site, then look it up directly before deciding. That moment is your chance to win the booking without paying commission.
To make the most of it you need:
- A complete Google Business Profile with great photos, amenities and fresh reviews.
- A website that ranks for your destination and the reasons people visit: weddings, walking, events, business trips.
- A simple booking path on mobile, with a clear reason to book direct.
Why hotels lose direct bookings
Independent hotels usually lose direct bookings in the same few places.
Thin Google listing
Old photos and missing details push guests to booking sites.
Clunky booking
Guests drop off when booking takes too many steps.
No reason to visit
Pages describe rooms but not the area, events or experiences.
Reviews unanswered
Unanswered reviews look like nobody cares.
Marketing services for hotels
Focused on direct bookings and lower commission.
Google Business Profile
Photos, amenities, posts and review replies.
Destination SEO
Rank for your town, attractions and events.
Website and booking
Faster pages and a simpler booking path.
Experience pages
Weddings, walks, food and events near you.
Email marketing
Bring past guests back with offers.
Social media
Show off rooms, food and the view.
Sell the stay, not just the room
People search for reasons to travel: a festival, a wedding venue, a walking route, a business park. Pages that answer those searches bring guests who would never have typed your hotel’s name.
Restaurants and event businesses should also see our catering page.

Hotel marketing: questions we get asked
Can we really reduce bookings through online travel agents?
Most hotels keep using them, but a stronger website, Google listing and reasons to book direct can shift a good share of bookings to your own site.
Do you set up Google Hotel Ads?
We advise on free booking links and Hotel Ads, which usually need a connection through your booking engine or channel manager. We help you choose the right setup.
Do you replace our booking engine?
No. We work with your existing booking engine and improve the pages and path that lead to it.
Can you help with reviews?
Yes. We help you ask guests for reviews and reply to them well, which builds trust for future guests.
Do you work with B&Bs and guest houses?
Yes. Smaller properties often gain the most from a strong Google listing and website.
