At TAG we focus on boosting direct bookings, helping clients avoid high OTA commissions while increasing direct revenue.
Metasearch is potentially the most important tool in a hotel’s toolbox for increasing direct revenue, minimizing OTA commission fees, and increasing guest loyalty and retention.
Metasearch placements allow users to compare different offers in one interface, and advertisers bid for visibility in these comparison results.
GA is one of the largest Metasearch platforms for hotels allowing bookers price comparison across different booking channels.
Third-Largest Platform. Allows hotels and booking platforms to bid for premium visibility in search results or on competitor listings, and gives direct access to hotel reviews and star scores.
Metasearch campaigns work, based on auctions, using bidding models where advertisers compete for top spots in search results. Auctions determine which advertiser’s listing appears based on factors like bid amount, performance, and relevance. Users see booking options, including direct hotel listings and OTAs. Clicking redirects them to the advertiser’s booking engine which might be either the hotel’s direct website or an OTA, where they might make a reservation.
Metasearch campaign optimizations focus on budget and bid adjustments based on user behavior, peak seasons, occupancy, and competitor activity.
Advertisers can target specific markets and devices (mobile, desktop, tablets) and use bid multipliers to optimize arrival days, length of stay, and check-in days. This flexibility helps boost bookings during key periods and allows the selection of placements based on performance or strategy.
