What to fix first
The fixes with the most benefit for the least work, and what to do for each.
Features
Booking engine
Whether your site has a booking engine, whether it shows from the homepage, or whether the "Book" button leads to Booking.com.
Reasons to book direct
Best price, free cancellation, a perk: whether your site says so where guests see it.
Your Google profile
Whether the "Website" button on Google leads to your site or to an OTA.
Speed on a phone
A slow site sends the guest back to the OTA app, which is always fast.
Questions
- Do you need access to my site?
- No. We read your site as a guest would, and your public details on Google.
- Where does the commission figure come from?
- From the nights, average rate and channel shares you give us. Whatever you leave out we estimate for a typical hotel your size, and say so.
- How often is it checked?
- Every morning, and whenever you ask. We keep the history, so you can see the improvement.
