Increase Visibility, Rankings & Revenue
Choose a Partner You Can Trust
Distribution management is one of the most overlooked aspects of digital marketing. Many hoteliers just get a channel manager and think that’s all they need to do.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Distribution management can be very technical, but it’s one of the biggest revenue generators for your property.
Managing conversion rates, rate parity, content, reputation, rate distribution, special offers and deals across multiple channels is hard. But if you get it right, the rewards can be huge.
Ranking your hotel highly on OTA search engines is an ongoing effort but one which will result in higher revenue for your hotel.

Use Technology to Work for You!
Setup, Implementation, Support & Training
There is a lot of technology available on the market which will help you to manage inventory across multiple sales channels.
As a minimum, you’re going to need a channel manager, property management system (PMS) and website booking engine.
If you start searching online, you’ll quickly find 100s of options that all claim to be the best!
We’ve used many of them and will recommend the best technology stack for your business.
Knowing what software to buy is difficult. Olive & Lake, with our years of experience, can help you to get the right solution.
Hotel Rate Parity Service
Managing Rate Parity
One of the biggest aspects of ranking highly in OTAs is rate parity. OTAs will routinely check your rates on other online booking platforms.
If they find cheaper prices elsewhere, they will push your website down in the search results and reduce your visibility.
Checking rate parity manually is very time consuming and hard work. So, Olive & Lake will automatise this process.
We check multiple channels and dates for up to 1 year in the future and this data is updated daily.
If there is a problem, we’ll find it before the OTA finds it.
Rate parity is one of the biggest ranking factors for OTA search engines. It's important that this is checked daily and any issues found are fixed immediately.
OTA Management & Optimisation
You may want to avoid OTAs and focus on direct bookings. You might get most of your bookings from tour agencies. Or your strategy might be focused on online bookings. Either way, there's no avoiding OTAs. So, instead of fighting them, we use their power to your advantage.
A good OTA strategy will not only increase bookings, but it will also increase DIRECT bookings.
We implement a strategy which will optimise your visibility, increase your rankings, improve the number of bookings you receive and reduce the commissions you pay. With OTAs, the key is getting visibility. Olive & Lake have a proven track record of helping our clients get the exposure they deserve on every sales channel.
