Why guests leave your site - and don't come back

Everyone is squeezed today from rising costs and your guests truly fear of overpaying. Even when your direct price is lower than the OTAs, they don’t know that — so they look on the OTA’s websites to compare. Most never return.

Industry data shows the average vacation rental website converts at just 0.32% (which means you need 315 website visitors to get 1 reservation!). The number one reason isn’t your price. It’s the uncertainty about your price.

How it works

Real-time OTA Comparison in Three Steps

1

Install the Code

A lightweight code snippet goes on your property pages. Works with every major PMS and booking engine. Setup takes minutes, not weeks.

2

Transparent Pricing

The code automatically pulls real-time rates from Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com and displays them side-by-side with your direct price.

3

Guests Book Direct

Guests see the savings instantly. No reason to leave. No second tab. The booking happens on your site, at your rate, with your guest data.

Everywhere It Counts

It doesn't stop at the property page

The Price Comparison Tool powers more than just your property pages. VRMs using Best Price Guarantee visuals in email marketing — pre-stay confirmations, abandoned-cart recovery, promotional campaigns — see conversion lifts as high as 300%.

A visual proof point that works everywhere: email headers, retargeting ads, social posts, and sales collateral. It turns “we have the best price” from a claim into evidence.
