OTA and own-site SEO: strengthen Booking.com and your website

"Reservations through Booking.com and Agoda are fine, but traffic to our own site does not grow."

OTAs help discovery; your website deepens understanding, trust, and direct booking.

Why relying on OTAs alone is risky

Commissions (often 15–20%) compress margins as volume grows.

Make OTA and website SEO complementary

  1. Use consistent English naming across listings and your site
  2. Publish unique English content OTAs cannot replicate
  3. Capture direct intent with English SEO for branded queries

Summary

Treat OTAs as discovery and your website as the place to convert trust into direct revenue.
