Want the full breakdown?

We'll send a tailored direct-booking recovery estimate for your property — plus a complimentary hotel SEO audit. No obligation.

We'll only use this to send your estimate. No spam, no selling your data.

Estimates only, based on the figures you enter. Actual commission and recovery depend on your channel mix, rate parity, and market. The recovery figure assumes the shown share of OTA bookings moves to your commission-free direct channel.

What to do with this number

Commission is a marketing budget in disguise.

Most independent hotels are already paying a large, invisible marketing fee every month — OTA commission on bookings they often already earned through their own brand. The number above is usually larger than owners expect, and unlike commission, a direct channel built through SEO keeps compounding after you've paid for it.

That's the entire premise of a specialist hotel SEO agency: turn organic and AI search into direct bookings so more of that revenue stays yours. See the math in the real math of OTA commission and what a hotel SEO agency costs.

Stop renting your own guests back from the OTAs.
