Direct Booking
Dominance.
Every booking through Airbnb costs you 15-20% in fees and 100% of the guest relationship. We help property managers build direct booking engines that eliminate the portal tax and put you back in control of your revenue.
Short-term rental managers pay an average of 15-20% per booking in platform fees. On a $200/night property booked 200 nights a year, that's $6,000-$8,000 you're handing to Airbnb every year—per property.
The Portal Tax
15-20% per booking. No guest ownership. Algorithm controls your visibility.
You're paying a massive commission on every booking, and you don't even get to keep the guest relationship. The portal owns the data, controls the algorithm, and can change the rules anytime—leaving your revenue at their mercy.
Your Buyer's Psychology
Guests research on portals, then look for the direct booking to save money.
Smart travelers use Airbnb and VRBO as discovery tools—then Google your property name looking for a way to book direct and skip the service fees. If you don't give them that option, you both lose.
The Direct Booking Engine
SEO-optimized property sites. Direct booking integration. Guest relationship ownership.
We build SEO-optimized property websites with direct booking integration that capture portal-driven demand, eliminate commission fees, and give you full ownership of the guest relationship from first click to repeat stay.
You're paying rent on customers you already earned.
Every portal booking is a tax on your hard work. The math is simple: redirect even a fraction of your bookings to a direct channel and the savings compound into serious revenue.
