SERVICES

Three ways in.

Everything starts with the audit. Nobody buys a retainer without the build, because without tracking installed properly nobody can tell you what is working.

1 ·Direct Booking Audit

Free

What you get

One page. Your last 12 months of OTA commission across every platform, set against what those same bookings would have paid direct. Three prioritized fixes ranked by dollars recoverable in 90 days.

What we need

12 months of OTA payout statements, or a channel export from FareHarbor, Peek, Rezdy, Checkfront, Xola, or Bókun. Read access to your analytics if you have it.

Turnaround, and one condition

Five business days. We walk you through it on a call rather than emailing it. Takes about 20 minutes, and the numbers land differently when someone can explain where they came from.

There is no obligation and no pitch on the back end unless you ask for one. The audit is yours to use however you like, including handing it to somebody else.

2 ·Direct Booking Engine

$4,000 to $8,000
ONE TIME · 30 TO 45 DAYS

The foundation everything else runs on.

Booking funnel strategy

Every step from first tap to confirmed booking, documented, with the drop-off points named. Booking engine configuration review with a written change list for your software vendor. Direct booking incentive design that beats the OTA listing without breaking rate parity.

Site conversion plan

Page by page, mobile first, prioritized by impact. Written as a spec your developer executes. We direct, we do not build.

SEO foundation

Keyword map for your products and your island. Site architecture and internal linking. Title tags and meta descriptions written out and ready to paste. Technical audit with a prioritized fix list.

Tracking that actually works

GA4 configured properly rather than default-installed. Tag Manager built and documented. Conversion tracking on every booking event, tied back to your booking software. Attribution that separates direct from OTA from paid from organic. Plus a baseline snapshot of your day-zero split, signed off by both of us, so everything after is measured against something real.

Google Business Profile

Categories, services, description, and a review generation system.

Your 90-day roadmap

What happens in months one, two, and three, with target numbers.

PRICE BY SCOPE

A single-product operator with an existing booking engine.$4,000
Two to six products needing profile cleanup and booking reconfiguration.$6,000
Seven or more products, multi-island, or a full paid media rebuild.$8,000

Half at signature, half on delivery. You can buy the build and stop there. Some operators should.

3 ·Monthly Retainers

Three tiers. Every tier includes the monthly report and a strategy call. What changes is how many channels we actively run and how deep the partnership work goes.
