SECONDARY INDUSTRY

Hospitality
More direct bookings. Fewer OTA commissions.

Hospitality has an intermediary problem. Guests discover you on an OTA, book through it, and 15-25% of the revenue leaves with them. The property is judged on photographs, and the guest relationship belongs to somebody else.

THE CUSTOMER LIFECYCLE WE MAP

Every gap sits somewhere on this line

We do not start with what you want built. We start by walking this journey and finding where people stop.

WHAT WE SEE IN THIS SECTOR

The friction is predictable

01

OTAs own the guest relationship

The platform holds the contact details, the booking history and the review. You pay commission to rent access to your own guest.

02

The direct booking path is worse than the OTA path

Guests will book direct if it is easy and clearly better value. On most property sites it is neither — so they return to the channel that costs you money.

03

The property looks better in person than online

Hospitality is bought on how a place feels. Poor photography and a dated site actively undersell a property that guests love once they arrive.

04

No relationship after checkout

A guest who enjoyed their stay is the cheapest possible source of the next booking, and most properties never contact them again.

05

Reviews are reactive

Feedback is collected after it has already been posted publicly, rather than captured privately at checkout when it can still be acted on.

HOW WE MEASURE HOSPITALITY

The numbers that decide whether it worked

We baseline these before starting and measure them again afterwards. If they have not moved, the engagement has not succeeded — whatever was delivered.

WHERE MOST HOSPITALITY ENGAGEMENTS START

The programmes that usually apply

Build My Digital Business

A credible digital presence that earns trust

For businesses whose reputation is strong offline but invisible or unconvincing online. Trust is built before the first conversation.

Grow My Business

More qualified leads, higher conversion

We map how customers discover you, why they hesitate and where they drop out, then close the gaps in that order.

Delight My Customers

A journey that holds together end to end

We treat the customer lifecycle as one system — enquiry, booking, delivery, follow-up, repeat — instead of a set of disconnected departments.

WHAT THE SCORE USUALLY SHOWS

Hospitality usually scores best on Digital Presence and worst on Growth Readiness and Data & Intelligence — a beautiful property with no idea which channel is profitable.

The Commission You Pay OTAs Is A Systems Problem, Not A Marketing One

Guests do not book through an OTA because they prefer it. They book there because it is easier than booking with you directly. That is fixable.
