Who it is for

The problem it solves

What gets in the way today

  1. Around 15% of every booking goes to the platform

    Each stay booked through a platform costs you part of the nightly rate.

  2. The platform owns the guest

    You cannot easily reach past guests to bring them back.

  3. Double bookings are costly

    Selling the same night twice means refunds, cancellations and unhappy guests.

  4. A template site that does not get bookings

    The site that came with your property management system (PMS) looks generic, so guests go back to the platforms.

Deliverables

What you get

How it works

Four steps from first call to launch

  1. Discovery

    We learn how you take bookings today, which platforms and systems you use, and what you need first.

  2. Setup and sync

    We connect your property management system, such as Guesty, so rates, availability and bookings stay in sync.

  3. Build the site and the follow ups

    We build your booking site, payments, and the emails that bring past guests back.

  4. Launch and improve

    We go live with you, then keep improving search visibility and direct bookings.

For example

What moving some bookings direct can mean

  • A manager with 20 properties at $200 a night and 60% occupancy earns about $876k a year.
  • Around 15% in platform fees on that is about $131k a year.
  • Moving 15% of bookings direct keeps roughly $16k a year, after card fees of about 3%.

This is an illustration with round numbers, not a promise. Your numbers depend on your properties, rates and marketing.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Not seeing your question? Book a call and ask us directly.

Can I keep Airbnb and add a direct site?

Yes. Your direct site works next to Airbnb and the other platforms.

Do you work with Guesty?

Yes, we have worked with Guesty. Other systems are possible on request.

Will guests really book direct?

Guests book direct when it is easy on a phone and there is a reason, like flexible cancellation or a perk. We build both into your site.

What about double bookings?

We build protection against duplicate bookings, so one guest request never creates two bookings. On the scoping call we go through how your channels and property management system work together.

How long does it take?

We share a timeline after the free scoping call.
