Do you want to boost your direct bookings?
MetaSearch is the place you need to be! Compete on the same ground as the major Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), increase your visibility, get more direct bookings and improve margins.
Fully Managed Metasearch Ads for your Hotel!
Olive & Lake is a digital marketing agency which specialises in the hospitality industry. We help many hotels to advertise on metasearch engines to increase direct bookings on their website. With metasearch, you can put your direct booking rates above the rates displayed for OTAs which means more traffic to your booking engine and more direct bookings.
Be seen first, get above the OTAS!
We will put your hotel above your the online travel agencies who are taking a commission on every booking. Hotel metasearch listings can encourage more direct bookings and reduce the commission you pay to OTAs.
Put your hotel #1 on:
If you already receive bookings from other channels like booking.com or Expedia, it means that people are looking for your property. OTAs spend a lot of money to drive traffic to their websites to increase their market share.
You can compete with them by putting your prices on meta search engines for hotels and be right there at the moment travellers are ready to book your hotel.
The process of getting started on hotel meta search can be complicated, but we’ll take care of everything for you. We will make sure your bidding strategy and placements are optimized to make sure you don’t waste your budget.
Metasearch ads can be difficult to set up, maintain and optimise.

Focus on what you're good at!
Meta searches are a great way of increasing your direct booking.

We want to gain more direct bookings at a lower cost than what you would have paid in commission for a booking from an OTA.
Therefore, controlling your expenses and budget is really important because you don’t want the booking to cost you more than what you would have paid to the OTAs!
Olive & Lake can manage your bidding strategy to maximize your visibility on the top selling spots at a profitable price.
Keep your prices in check!
Successful metasearch campaigns require that you have competitive direct booking prices.
To be present on the metasearch is not enough.

We ensure that your direct booking prices are at least the same as the lowest prices offered by OTAs.
