Direct-booking CRO, honestly.
You’re running roughly 40% OTA, 25% direct, the rest metasearch and phone. The website’s five years old, the booking widget feels bolted on, and every direct percentage point moves real money at your ADR. That’s the job. Not OTA replacement. A healthier mix.
What ships in a CRO engagement
- Guest-journey funnel audit against your live GA4 and booking engine, plus a 60-day post-launch benchmark. Deliverable: prioritised uplift list against your actual drop-offs (not a generic checklist). From £2,500.
- Rate calendar + room card redesign to fix the seasonality-blind grid most vendors ship. Guests see availability at a glance, minimum-night rules read cleanly, from-price is truthful. From £3,500.
- Package builder so F&B, spa, and activities attach to the room booking instead of being buried three clicks deep. Bundle savings visible. Cloudbeds, Mews, and RoomRaccoon all support this natively. From £2,000.
- GA4 + GTM booking funnel wiring with room_view, rate_view, guest_details_start, booking_confirmed events tagged by property, source, and cart value. So you can actually watch the direct-share needle move. Included in every build; standalone £1,500.
Realistic uplift
Independent hotels running rate parity properly typically move from 30-35% direct share to 45-55% direct share inside 12 months once the build, integration, and CRO ship together. Not overnight. Not a promise. If your rate parity is broken, nothing else works, so we tell you before we quote.
What we do vs what MTC does
We handle the web build, booking engine integration, and on-page CRO. Our sister brand Marketing The Change handles the ongoing marketing retainer: hotel SEO, metasearch bidding, Google Hotel Ads, paid social, hospitality email. Different jobs, same operator. Build-only friends without a hospitality vertical go to Liverpool Web Designers.
Sister brands, one operator
Ongoing hotel SEO retainer, metasearch bidding, Google Hotel Ads, paid social, and hospitality email marketing go to our sister brand Marketing The Change. Non-hospitality builds (a friend running a plumbing shop, a solicitor’s site) go to our sister brand Liverpool Web Designers, build-only, no retainer. Same operator behind all three shops. Different jobs, different specialists.
FAQs
Common questions.
Is WordPress the right stack for a hotel?
For 90% of independent hotels, boutique properties, B&Bs, and small groups, yes. WordPress with Elementor gives your marketing coordinator control without needing a developer. Enterprise groups on Opera or custom PMS/CRS stacks get scoped separately.
Can you integrate our existing booking engine?
Almost certainly. Cloudbeds, SiteMinder, Mews, Little Hotelier, WebRezPro, RoomRaccoon, and Guestline are the majors we ship regularly. If you’re on something more unusual, tell us on the discovery call and we’ll say honestly whether it’s viable.
Do you take a commission on our booking engine choice?
No. Vendor-agnostic is the whole point. We don’t take reseller commission from any booking engine, PMS, or CRS. If your existing engine is wrong for the property, we’ll say so.
What direct-share uplift can we realistically expect?
For independent hotels, bespoke web + integration + on-page CRO typically shifts direct share from around 35% to around 50% in year one. This is the honest number. It is not OTA replacement.
Do we have to take the support plan?
No. The support plan is optional and cancel any time. £150 per property per month for Independent, £350 for Boutique, £800 for Group. Backups, updates, uptime, booking engine health, monthly analytics readout.
What about ongoing hotel SEO?
On-page hotel SEO ships at launch with every build. Ongoing SEO retainer goes to our sister brand Marketing The Change. Different job, different specialist.
Do you own our site after launch?
You do. IP transfers on final payment. If you want to move host later, we’ll help you migrate at no extra cost within the first 12 months.
