Meta Search Advertising
Outbid OTAs for your own guests — at the exact moment they're ready to book.
The Industry Challenge [Directional]
The Cost of Unoptimized Operations
When guests search for a property's name, OTA and direct offers can compete on the same results page. Without clean rates, availability, tracking, and contribution reporting, a hotel cannot tell whether metasearch is incremental or simply moving demand between paid channels.
HOW WE HELP
What We Do & How It Works
We run paid metasearch campaigns on Google Hotel Ads, TripAdvisor, and Trivago to display your lower direct rate right when guests are comparing room prices across platforms — intercepting bookings before Booking.com or MakeMyTrip captures the commission.
Google Hotel Ads Management
We run paid bidding campaigns on Google Hotel Ads so your direct website rate appears at the top of Google's hotel comparison module — directly competing with Booking.com and MakeMyTrip for your own branded search traffic at a fraction of their commission cost.
TripAdvisor Sponsored Placement Ads
We manage sponsored placement ads on TripAdvisor to position your property in front of travellers actively researching your destination — capturing interest during the research phase, before they commit to an OTA booking.
Bid Optimisation & Yield Management
We adjust bids dynamically based on remaining room availability, check-in dates, advance booking windows, and device type — maximising Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) while maintaining profitability vs. OTA commission alternatives.
The Business Benefits
By implementing specialized hospitality methodologies, we don't just upgrade your systems — we focus on driving bottom-line growth.
