This is the equivalent of approximately 7.8million global reservations in 2023 when applied to the worldwide hotelmarket. Increased bidding on key search terms, including ‘brand searches’ that identify particular hotels, has sparked a sudden increase in cost-per-click, with Google Ads rising 62.5%
Set your budget Determining your budget is crucial for a successful PPC for luxury hotels campaign. Analyze your overall marketing budget and allocate a portion specifically for pay perclick advertising. Consider factors like the cost-per-click (CPC) in your market and the potential return on investment (ROI).
OTAs work on a commission model, typically charging hotels a percentage of the total booking value (room rate + taxes and fees). Metasearch engines, on the other hand, work on a cost-per-click business model (something well discuss in more detail below). What is hotel metasearch marketing? Compete with OTAs.
Search context: While targeted keywords are a great start regarding relevance, sometimes intent can get lost in a user’s search. Search Impression Share Lost to Budget This metric represents how often your Paid Search ads lose an auction due to an insufficiently low daily campaign budget or Cost-per-click (CPC) bid.
Metasearch differs from OTAs in that you can direct travelers back to your website to drive direct bookings, and it works on a non-commission model; instead, you pay a costperclick (CPC). You can set a budget for how much you want to bid for each click and adjust bids to optimize your overall strategy.
Create Engaging and Relevant Landing Pages Your landing pages are the destination of potential guests who click your PPC ads, so you must make them relevant and engaging. They should align with search intent and provide valuable information to increase conversions and enhance the user experience.
Let me repeat that, if you can sell rooms direct at a lower costper acquisition than through OTAs then why not do it! CPA <20%) This requires that hotels to take a different and more fluid approach to their hotelmarketing budget allocation. Why not spend uncapped while your CPA remains below that of an OTA.
Partnerships can prove valuable in not only gaining referrals but also in other, more niche marketing efforts, like link building (for search engine optimization). Integrating bloggers or influencers into your hotelmarketing plan is a creative way to establish local partnerships and reach qualified audiences.
