Every Booking.com reservation costs you up to 20% commission. With strong organic visibility you win guests directly – and keep the full margin.
Budapest is one of the most visited cities in Europe. Yet a large share of bookings runs through portals that charge high commissions. Every direct booking through your own website is far more profitable.
Guests who already know your hotel, or search specifically for "hotel Budapest downtown", should land directly with you – not via the costly detour of a booking portal. That is what well-planned SEO delivers.
OTAs dominate the search results and your ad budget. With targeted SEO you reclaim profitable direct bookings.
Your guests come from all over the world. Without multilingual, search-optimised content you give away reach.
Festivals, conferences, holidays – demand fluctuates strongly. Content must cover the right occasions.
We optimise the website and booking flow so guests book directly with you instead of through costly portals.
Optimised content in Hungarian, English and other languages – with a correct hreflang structure.
Pages on attractions, events and your district attract travellers early in the planning phase.
Optimised profile with photos and reviews for maximum map and local visibility.
