The Question - Why Do I Need A Website For My Hotel?
The Answers -
You have a brand site and it generates bookings but your own personal site will enhance this. On a brand site, visitors have the option to explore other properties within the brand by region to compare and decide. Your personal site does not have out bound links for this to happen which means higher rate of return.
Your site compared to Travel Sites - Travel sites are a great tool but again, users will see them and compare area properties such as cheaper or better options. You will notice when looking at certain sites, “we found x hotel down the road $10.00 less per night". Also, your site by us does not cost you 20 to 25% per booking. Travel sites are a good addition to what you book but between showing reviews, other properties and the commissions - shouldn’t rely totally on them like Choice discovered with Expedia in the recent months.
Your site includes a Google business listing map. First of all, we make sure it is correct and secondly, linking to the brand brings up the first problem above. You are getting visitors, how many are booking rooms? Google business listings are a huge tool and by listing your personal site, you are leaving them no other options but your property.
When we do your site, we SEO for free. Some companies charge monthly for this in the hundreds of dollars. Your site has over 50 keywords, meta tag descriptions, page titles and is submitted from day 1.
This may be the most important thing that you can do for your business ! The number of internet users in North America went from 108 million in the year 2000 to 340 million in 2009. The World total is almost 7 billion in 2009, up from 1.7 billion in 2009. That’s a 380% growth and that may be conservative figures. Compare this to a billboard that gets seen only local or traditional advertising. Your website is viewed by visitors in the next town, the next State, across the Country and around the world.
We guarantee at least 4 times the bookings to cost and we back that up with not charging hosting fees until it does for the following years. $1,000.00 website would at the very least generate $4,000.00 in guests that will return to your property year after year. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. This assumes a low booking amount of $333.00 a month. That is 4 room nights a month. A website can produce that and much more.
All forms of advertising are good but let’s compare the options.
Yellow Pages - They are there in town already. Who doesn’t plan ahead these days?
Billboards - Same thing unless they are falling asleep at the wheel and need to sleep.
TV ads - Nascar is losing sponsors because people DVR past the commercials.
Radio - Who isn’t using their ipod or hitting presets when a commercial for Choice, Best Western, etc. comes on?
