Hi everyone 👋 I design high converting websites for businesses and online communities. I’m currently offering a few free quick website previews showing how your structure and messaging can be improved for better conversions. If you want one, just comment or DM “WEBSITE”

Quick teardown from this week's audits. A 3.5★ hotel in Aalst had 14,347 reviews on Booking.com, but only 123 on Google. Guests clearly love them. But that trust is locked inside Booking.com (who take 15-25% per booking) and nearly invisible on Google, where new guests actually search. The fix isn't more marketing, it's moving a slice of that existing trust onto Google and the hotel's own site, to capture direct bookings they're already earning. Where do most of your reviews live, Booking.com or Google? #hotelmarketing #directbookings #googleranking #hotelbusiness #hospitalitymarketing

Quick teardown from this week's audits. A 4.6★ hotel in Bizkaia had 14,461 reviews on Booking.com but only 1,700 on Google. Guests clearly love them. But that trust is locked inside Booking.com (who take 15–25% per booking) and nearly invisible on Google, where new guests actually search. The fix isn't more marketing it's moving a slice of that existing trust onto Google and the hotel's own site, to capture direct bookings they're already earning.

A 4.7★ boutique hotel in Prague had 30,000+ reviews on Booking.com — but only ~670 on Google. Guests clearly love them. But that trust is locked inside Booking.com (who take 15–25% per booking) and nearly invisible on Google, where new guests actually search "hotels in Prague." The fix isn't more marketing — it's moving a slice of that existing trust onto Google + their own site, to capture direct bookings they're already earning. Most independents have this exact gap.

The top-performing hotels aren’t winning because they have the best photos or the lowest rates. Our analysis of 48,657 hotels across 40 countries reveals a surprising trend: the highest direct booking conversion rates correlate not with price or aesthetics, but with consistent, accurate, and complete information across all platforms. Take a Barcelona property with a 4.2-star Google rating and 8.0/10 on Booking.com—yet 329 fewer reviews on Google. Why? Incomplete or inconsistent data across platforms creates friction. Guests see conflicting details and choose to book elsewhere. The shift is clear: owners who treat their digital presence as a unified system where every detail aligns, see higher direct bookings, better trust, and stronger visibility. Ask yourself: when was the last time you checked your Google Business profile against your OTA listings? #hotelmarketing #directbookings #googleranking #hotelbusiness #hospitalitymarketing
