Should I translate my hotel website? When and how
Translation is now the cheap part of a multilingual hotel website. The real cost is keeping every language current, findable and bookable.
The channel list is the easy part. The value is in what connects it to a booking you can recognise in the accounts.
Brand defence, non-brand demand, and the long tail of how guests actually describe what they are looking for.
Audiences built from your own guest data rather than from a platform's idea of who stays with you.
Where the comparison happens, and where a direct booking is most often won or quietly lost.
Produced in house, tested properly, and judged on what it brought rather than on how it looked in the deck.
None of the above means anything if the measurement underneath it is wrong, and it usually is.
Spend against actual stays, after cancellations, from one source everyone in the room agrees on.
Find the waste first. It usually funds everything that comes after it.
Account structure, match types, overlapping audiences, brand spend defending a term nobody was bidding on. There is almost always money sitting in here.
Before scaling anything. Optimising against a broken conversion signal is how accounts get confidently worse over a quarter.
Not around channel budgets. Brand, non-brand, metasearch and retargeting weighted by what each is genuinely doing for occupancy and rate.
Spend reconciled against reservations and revenue after cancellation, so the number in the marketing meeting is the number in the business.
Every Platform in Your Account Will Claim the Same Booking.
Less about the channels and more about being able to defend the decisions.
No. Media is billed directly to you by the platforms, so you keep ownership and visibility of it. We charge for the strategy, the execution and the measurement.
We use yours wherever they exist, because the history is valuable and the account should belong to you. Where a previous agency holds them in their own name, getting that fixed is the first job.
Weekly optimisation as standard, and faster when something needs it. Hospitality demand moves with weather, events and competitor pricing, so a monthly cadence is simply too slow.
Yes. For most direct booking strategies it is where the decision actually gets made, and it is routinely run as an afterthought.
Honestly, which means saying what cannot be known as well as what can. Consent and cookie limits remove a real share of the picture, so we reconcile platform numbers against actual reservations and are clear about which parts are measured and which are inferred.
