Four stages. Each one produces a decision for you, and each later stage begins only when the evidence from the one before supports it. Here is what happens in each, what we need from the property, and what we do not promise.
Ten points scored on how a guest meets the property today: AI answers and search for your market, comp set, site speed, the mobile booking path, OTA dependency, paid readiness, guest data capture, reputation and analytics.
Where direct revenue is lost and why: channel mix and the true cost of each channel, rate parity across your top platforms, booking-engine drop-off, pace and rate fences, guest data and repeat rate. Conversations with the owner, the general manager and whoever owns rates.
Positioning by segment, room and offer pages that answer what guests ask, a booking path that works on a phone, parity enforced across the channels that matter, and tracking that follows a booking from first click to reservation record.
Search and AI visibility, metasearch and paid media where they earn their place, reviews, guest email and repeat stays, reservations coaching. Weekly note on what moved; monthly report; quarterly review.
Every report opens with the numbers an owner already uses: direct share of room revenue, RevPAR against the comp set, the all-in cost of each channel and repeat rate, with the next 90 days of pace alongside them. Then three things that changed this month and one decision we need from you.
Sessions, impressions, rankings and share of AI answers are supporting evidence and sit lower on the page. A red number is stated as red, in the month it turns red.
We control inputs, rigour and speed. We do not control demand in your market, what a platform changes in its ranking, or what a competitor does with rate. We will not promise occupancy, ADR or RevPAR, and we would be cautious of anyone who does.
What you can hold us to: the scope, the dates, the measures agreed in writing before stage 3, and a monthly account of what we did and what it produced.
Illustrative layout of the monthly report. The numbers below are invented for the example; in practice every figure comes from your own systems.
Decision needed: open the member rate on the two shoulder-season weeks where the marketplace is currently undercutting direct by four percent.
