60–80% of your bookings may arrive through OTAs. The guests were always yours — the relationship should be too

You've built a world-class brand with impeccable service. Portals introduce travellers to it — but the booking, the margin and the returning guest should belong to you.

Strengthen your direct channel, diverting customers from OTAs at roughly half the commission

We analyse how travellers search for hotels like yours — location, facilities, style, services — and position your own website at the exact moment of intent, before the booking is captured by a portal.

  1. Every booking is measured transparently in your own Google Analytics account.
  2. We fund targeted campaigns across Google, Bing, Gemini, ChatGPT and Copilot — at no cost to you.
  3. You only pay a flat 9% — and only transparently identified direct bookings completed through your website.
  4. No setup fees. No website redesign. No changes to your booking engine. Your operation stays exactly as it is.

Portals find some of your new guests. We turn them into direct guests — for this stay and every stay after.

Results you can verify, not promises you have to trust. Your data. Your account. Complete transparency.

The economics of distribution, side by side. Retain more of every booking.
