FAQ´s

What exactly is a meta search engine for hotels?

A meta search engine for hotels aggregates and compares room rates from various online travel agencies (OTAs) and direct hotel websites. It provides users with a comprehensive overview of available options, ensuring they get the best deal.

Why should my hotel be listed on meta search engines?

Being on meta search engines increases your hotel's online visibility. When potential guests compare prices, they'll see your direct rates alongside those of OTAs, driving more direct bookings and reducing commission costs.

Are meta search engines suitable for independent hotels or just big chains?

Both! While large hotel chains benefit from meta search visibility, independent hotels can significantly boost their direct bookings, reducing reliance on OTAs and their commission fees.

How do I manage my hotel's presence across multiple meta search engines?

There are platforms and tools, like those offered by myhotelshop, that allow for centralised management of multiple meta search listings, ensuring consistency and effectiveness in your marketing efforts.

Can meta search campaigns integrate with my hotel's Property Management System (PMS)?

Many modern meta search campaign tools offer integration options with popular PMS systems. This ensures real-time rate and availability updates, offering a seamless experience for potential guests. You can see whether your setup can be integrated here.

How is meta search different from OTAs like Booking.com or Expedia?

While OTAs are platforms where guests can directly book their stay, meta search engines merely display the rates from different platforms, including OTAs and direct hotel websites. Think of meta search as a comparison tool, whereas OTAs are actual booking platforms.

How do commission fees work on meta search platforms?

Meta search engines typically operate on a cost-per-click (CPC) model. You pay a fee only when a potential guest clicks on your listing. This differs from OTAs, which charge a commission percentage for each booking made.

I'm worried about rate parity. How can I ensure my direct rates are competitive?

Using a rate shopper tool, in conjunction with meta search marketing, can help you monitor and adjust your rates to remain competitive. Ensuring rate parity boosts guest trust and encourages direct bookings.

Is there a way to target specific audiences with meta search ads?

Absolutely! Advanced meta search marketing strategies allow for targeting based on user demographics, behaviours, and more, ensuring you reach your ideal guest profile.

How do I measure the success of my meta search campaigns?
