Who we help

Boutique hotel direct-booking growth

For boutique hotels across Europe. OTAs take 18–22% of every night, we shift bookings to direct, where the margin and the guest relationship both live.

The problem

OTAs control the majority of online hotel bookings, and every commission-heavy night erodes the margin you earned. Your direct channel exists but converts below benchmark, and there's no plan for what to test next.

What we do

01

Make direct the easy choice

We diagnose the booking journey and remove the friction that pushes guests back to the OTA.

02

Give the site a reason to convert

Rate parity, incentives and trust signals sequenced by what the evidence says moves the decision.

03

A quarterly experiment plan

We produce the tests; your booking engine runs them. Direct-booking share as the KPI.

Where it maps

Direct Booking Engine, the hero tier, entered through a paid diagnostic.

1What share of your bookings come direct, not through an OTA?
2Of guests who reach your booking page, roughly how many finish?
3How many clicks from your homepage to a confirmed booking?
4Does the booking engine work smoothly on a phone?
5Is your direct rate visibly better than the OTA price?
6Do you capture guests for direct rebooking after they leave?

Put a rough number on it

Estimates are fine. This turns the friction into euros. Defaults reflect typical boutique figures.
