For Marketing Managers

You're Driving the Traffic.
Now Convert It.

Your SEO, ads, and email are bringing guests to the site. DBT makes sure they book direct instead of bouncing back to an OTA.

The Marketer’s Problem

The conversion gap nobody talks about

The average vacation rental website converts at 0.32%. Optimized sites with DBT’s Price Comparison Tool convert at up to 2.1%. That’s 178 extra bookings for every 10,000 visitors — without increasing ad spend by a dollar.

Meanwhile, 81% of guests who start a booking abandon at checkout. Your campaigns worked. The site didn’t finish the job.

Same spend. Same traffic. Different landing experience.

How Direct Booking Tools Closes the Gap

Turn your existing traffic into direct bookings

Four things your campaigns can’t fix on their own. Each one is a tool you switch on.

Job 01
“My traffic bounces to check OTA prices.”

Price Comparison Tool answers the question before they leave. Real-time OTA vs direct pricing on every property page. They never need to open another tab.

Job 02
“My email campaigns get opens but not bookings.”

Best Price Guarantee visuals embedded in email workflows drive up to 300% conversion lifts. Segmented campaigns see 42% higher click-through rates.

Job 03
“I can’t tell what’s actually driving direct bookings.”

Full attribution dashboard ties conversions back to channel, campaign, and property. Report on what’s working with actual revenue data, not vanity metrics.

Attribution Reporting Suite
Job 04
“We’re spending on retargeting but it’s not converting.”

The Demand Analyzer tells you which properties to promote and when. The Cart Saver recovers guests who dropped off at checkout. Your retargeting budget goes further when the landing experience actually converts.

Questions marketers ask

Before you loop in your web team

It works alongside them. DBT sits on your existing site and booking engine — you keep your PMS, your ESP, your ad platforms and your analytics. Nothing gets migrated, and your team keeps the stack it already knows.

Yes. You can drop Best Price Guarantee visuals into your email workflows and use demand data to pick which properties each segment sees. Campaigns built that way report up to 300% higher conversion.

It removes the reason guests leave. Instead of opening Airbnb in another tab, they see the live rate difference on your page. Sites running it convert at up to 2.1% against an industry average of 0.32%, and direct booking conversion increases by up to 150%.

A full dashboard suite — quote activity, forward-looking demand, demand spikes and OTA price monitoring — tied back to channel, campaign and property. It lands in your inbox weekly, so board reporting is revenue data, not screenshots of sessions.
