Why it works
OTAs can introduce you to new guests — but without a clear strategy, they can also dilute your brand, eat into your margins, and increase reliance on platforms you don’t fully control.
The OTA Optimiser helps you take back control. Refine your listings, strengthen your positioning, and support your direct booking strategy — all while using OTAs more intentionally and effectively. It’s not about abandoning the platforms. It’s about using them on your terms.
Who’s It For?
For boutique stay founders who understand that visibility on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com doesn’t have to come at the cost of brand control. Whether you’re just getting listed or have years of hosting experience, this guide is for property owners who want to increase bookings through OTAs — while staying true to their guest experience, brand aesthetic and pricing integrity. If you're ready to refine your listings, stand out without shouting, and make the platforms work for you (not the other way around), the OTA Optimiser is your next move.
