More Direct Bookings.
Less OTA Commission.
Marketing Built for Hotels.

You're paying Booking.com 18% on every room, MakeMyTrip another 15%, and the guest who just checked in has never heard your hotel's name. They booked a room, not a stay. We build the direct booking engine — Google, Meta, email, and the brand story that makes guests want to come back to you specifically.

// THE REAL TALK //

Why Hotels Pay OTAs
For Guests They Already Earned.

OTA Commission Is Your Largest Variable Cost

18% to Booking.com. 15% to MakeMyTrip. Collectively, 30–35% of your revenue is going to platforms that show your competitors alongside you and give the guest no reason to be loyal to your property specifically. Every direct booking that replaces an OTA booking is pure margin recovery.

Guests Who Loved the Stay — and Booked OTA Again Next Time

They had a great experience. You have no email address, no WhatsApp number, no way to reach them. The OTA owns the relationship. When they plan their next trip to your destination, they go back to the platform — not to you. We build the post-stay relationship you should have owned from checkout.

Seasonal Occupancy Gaps You Can't Predict or Fill

Off-season is brutal. Shoulder months are guesswork. Most hotels run blanket discounts on OTAs and hope. We build targeted campaigns — to past guests, to adjacent audience segments, to corporate travel bookers — that fill specific gaps without destroying your ADR.

No Brand Story That Makes Your Property Irreplaceable

'Comfortable rooms, great location, good service' describes every hotel. The properties that consistently command a price premium and direct loyalty have a distinct brand story. We build that — so that returning guests and new guests alike have a reason to book direct and pay more.

Hotels don't have
an occupancy problem.
They have a
direct channel problem.

Travellers planning a trip to your destination will find your hotel. The question is whether they find it through an OTA — which takes a commission and builds zero loyalty — or through your own channels, which costs less and builds a relationship.

We have worked with boutique hotels, heritage properties, business hotels, and resorts across India and internationally. The direct booking strategy is always specific to the property type, the guest profile, and the booking window — never a template.

13+ YEARS COMBINED EXPERIENCE

// WHAT WE BUILD //

Every Channel.
One Direct Booking Engine.

🔍

Google Hotel Ads & Search

Google Hotel Ads appear above Booking.com and MakeMyTrip in search results. For properties with their own booking engine, this is the most direct route to commission-free reservations. We manage campaigns, rate parity, and bidding strategy to maximise direct booking ROAS.

Meta Retargeting & Awareness Campaigns

Travellers research destinations on Instagram before they book. We build Meta campaigns that intercept this research phase — destination campaigns, property showcase ads, and retargeting sequences for people who visited your booking page but didn't complete.

RETARGETING · AWARENESS
🌐

SEO for Direct Booking

"Best boutique hotel [destination]." "[Hotel name] direct booking." We rank your property for the searches that lead to commission-free stays — and build the content strategy around your destination that earns organic traffic from travellers in the research phase.

ORGANIC · SEO
💬

Guest Re-engagement & Email/WhatsApp

Every past guest is a future direct booking waiting to happen — if you reach them before they go back to the OTA. We build post-stay communication flows, seasonal return offers, and loyalty incentives that make direct the natural choice for repeat visits.

RETENTION · LOYALTY

Brand Story & Visual Identity

A hotel with a strong brand story charges more, fills earlier, and builds genuine loyalty. We develop the brand narrative — what makes your property different, what feeling you sell, why guests should care — and translate it into campaigns that attract the right traveller.

BRAND · POSITIONING

Reputation Management

Your TripAdvisor, Google, and Booking.com ratings directly affect your search visibility and conversion rate. We build the review generation system and response protocol that keeps your rating consistently above 4.5 — the threshold where direct booking conversion jumps significantly.

38% More Direct Revenue — 6 Months

A boutique property paying 20%+ OTA commission on 60% of its bookings needed to shift the channel mix. We launched Google Hotel Ads alongside a Meta retargeting campaign for property page visitors. Direct booking revenue grew 38% in 6 months as OTA dependency fell. Commission savings alone covered the marketing investment.

22% OTA Reduction via Past Guest Campaigns

A mid-market city hotel had a database of 2,400 past guests with no re-engagement programme. We built a WhatsApp campaign offering a direct booking discount and early access to seasonal packages — with a link directly to the hotel's booking engine. 340 confirmed direct bookings from past guests in the first campaign cycle.

3.4× ROAS on Heritage Resort Campaign

A heritage resort in Rajasthan was spending heavily on OTAs and had no Google search presence for its destination keywords. We built a destination content strategy, optimised the booking page, and launched Google Hotel Ads. 3.4× ROAS on Google spend and a 40% improvement in organic search visibility within 90 days.

What Hotels & Resorts
Say About Working With Us.

“We were paying OTAs for guests who had stayed with us before. That was the moment I knew something had to change. SuperFew built the direct booking system — Google Hotel Ads, the WhatsApp re-engagement for past guests, and a proper brand story for the property. Direct bookings are now 55% of our revenue. That was 20% before.”

Arjun M.Boutique Hotel Owner · Rajasthan
“The reputation management work changed everything. We were at 4.1 on Google and losing direct search bookings to competitors. SuperFew built the review flow, fixed how we respond to criticism, and rebuilt our Google Business Profile. We're at 4.7 now and our direct booking conversion rate has nearly doubled.”

We set up Google Hotel Ads, build the Meta campaigns, create the post-stay communication flows, and optimise your Google Business Profile. Launch within 2–3 weeks of strategy sign-off.

04

Monthly tracking of OTA vs. direct ratio. Seasonal campaigns before peak and shoulder periods. The goal is a steady shift in your booking channel mix that compounds over 6–12 months.

Questions Hotel Owners
Actually Ask.

A meaningful shift takes 6–12 months to build — but you'll see early direct booking increases from Google Hotel Ads within weeks. The longer-term shift comes from building past guest relationships, SEO presence, and brand loyalty. We set honest timelines from the first conversation.
Yes, though having a direct booking channel is important for Google Hotel Ads and direct booking campaigns to work properly. If you don't have one, we can advise on simple booking engine integrations (most are low-cost or free) before we launch paid campaigns.
Yes. Destination hospitality is a strong use case for creator partnerships — particularly for boutique and experiential properties. We identify, brief, and manage creator stays that generate high-quality content and reach travel audiences at the research stage of their booking journey.
Corporate and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Events) are separate acquisition channels with different decision-makers. We build LinkedIn and Google campaigns targeting corporate travel managers and event planners — with a different funnel than leisure travel.
Our review strategy is entirely organic — we build post-stay prompts that encourage genuinely happy guests to share their experience publicly. We never generate fake reviews. The volume increase is real; the quality reflects your actual guest experience. We also build the response protocol for negative reviews that handles them professionally.
Trilok and Mayank — the founders — directly. No account managers, no junior handoffs. Every strategy, every campaign, every monthly report comes from one of us. That's the SuperFew model and it doesn't change.
