THE BOOKINGS YOU
ALMOST OWN.

Same search data as the image you just saw, opened up by line of business and the kind of guest each search brings. These are real searches, ranked by what the demand is worth, split by which revenue line they feed. The aim is one thing: more direct bookings, less of the commission you pay platforms to rent demand you could own.

The same striking-distance set, re-cut by the buyer it brings. The point: these are not price-shoppers, they are the high-margin guests you actually want more of.

WHAT IT IS WORTH IN DIRECT BOOKINGS

At a 70% occupancy estimate, 52 rooms, and a 18% standard OTA commission scenario, the demand on these platforms is worth roughly $1,898,835 a year in commission. Move one in twenty of those bookings to direct and you keep $94,942 a year that currently leaves the property. (ADR verified from your own booking engine. Illustrative scenario, not a quote.)

Prepared from live ranking data. Ad value = monthly searches x market cost per click. OTA commission figures are labeled standard scenarios (15% or 18%), not your negotiated rate. No click-through-rate projections are used. This page opens the gap; the paid audit does the work.
