Appear for free on Google and keep the commission

We publish your property on Google Hotels and Google Vacation Rentals, where Google shows it with a direct booking link to your own site — the Free Booking Links — at no channel cost. The traveler books with you, not the OTA, and the commission the middleman used to take stays with you.

Every direct booking is worth more

The same booking earns you more when it comes in direct. With Google Free Links, that channel is free.

Reference commission of 17% (Booking, Expedia and similar typically range between 15% and 20%).

The commission is not a small expense

On many OTAs, between 15% and 20% of every booking never reaches your pocket. Multiply that across all your bookings for the year and you'll see the real size of it. Appearing for free on Google gives you a channel where that percentage stays with you.

What you save

An example with an average booking. The math is simple and it always works in your favor.

the commission you don't pay when booking direct through Google

With just 20 bookings a month through this channel, that's ≈ $2,000/mo you keep. Illustrative example with a 17% commission.

More and more travelers book direct

Travelers no longer book only on the OTAs: they start by searching on Google and, when they find the official site, they book direct for a better price with no middleman. Appearing for free on Google puts you right at that decision moment, with your brand and your link.
