We'll run the marketing. You keep the commission.
A done-for-you growth team for independent hotels. We turn the insight from your dashboard into direct bookings — and report in pure ROI, never impressions.
Four channels, one number to watch
We own the execution end-to-end and tie every dollar of spend to a booking in your HotelGauge dashboard.
Paid search & social
Google and Meta campaigns tuned to your most profitable guest — not vanity reach.

Google Hotel Ads and Trivago presence that intercepts guests before the OTA does.
Retargeting & funnels
Conversion-optimized landing and booking funnels that turn lookers into direct bookers.
Booking engine
Fast, commission-free checkout on your own domain, with parity nudges built in.

A direct booking engine that keeps the commission
Convert lookers into direct bookers on your own site with a fast, beautiful, commission-free booking engine — price-parity messaging included, so guests never have a reason to leave for an OTA.

Accountable to the same dashboard you read
Other agencies send you a slide deck of impressions. We send you bookings — visible, attributed, and measured against your real revenue.

- Every campaign attributed to real reservations
- Your data, your accounts, your domain — always
- A dedicated strategist who knows your property
Owners who got their direct channel back
“We were handing Booking.com nearly a quarter of every reservation and calling it a marketing strategy. HotelGauge showed us the real cost in dollars, then rebuilt our direct channel. Direct is now 58% of revenue.”
Eleanor VanceOwner, The Marlowe · Charleston, SC“I don't have a revenue manager — I have a front desk and a spreadsheet. HotelGauge is the analyst I could never afford, and the marketing team I didn't have time to hire.”
Marco BianchiGeneral Manager, Villa Serena · Lake Como, IT“The first snapshot was a gut-punch — and the most useful thing anyone's ever shown me about my own hotel. RevPAR is up 22% and I finally know which campaigns actually pay.”
Priya NairFounder, Kestrel House · Cornwall, UK
