Online Travel Agents can give you some business, but the problem with depending on them is
•No control on quality of clients (, MMT etc.)
• No client loyalty or ability to remarket
• Short duration stays and hefty commissions (upto 20%) - which can make business unprofitable
The only way to steady 50% plus direct bookings is - SEO & Website Marketing. Unfortunately there is no easy way out here. Bulding an SEO presence for a new property business (Hotel, PG, Rental, Malls, Shops etc)
can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months. However it is the only marketing that you actually own Google combines the following signals for property businesses
• Google Maps, Google Reviews & Online References
• Travel Reviews on TripAdvisor, OTAs, Airbnb etc.
• Website quality, ease of use, Mobile friendliness, Hosting safety
• Directories like LinkedIn, Company Details & Association memberships
• Website Content & Quality - Amenity listings, latest prices, directions, addresses,
About the company, company videos
• YouTube & Social Media - YouTube videos play an important part and if you can get video referrals your business will shine
Not only for bookings, but an online presence will help you raise money from investors, attract top talent to work with you and also create a positive brand recall - clients are upto 75% more likely to book & call directly if they have a positive website & social media reference
