Outcome
For the guests who already know your villa: returning guests, guests a friend recommended, and people searching your villa's name on Google. Their bookings arrive through WhatsApp or your own booking engine, so no 15-22% OTA commission comes off them, and we take no commission per booking either. Your Airbnb and Booking.com listings keep running as they are: the website adds a channel, it does not replace one. To give guests a reason to use it, offer something extra such as an airport pickup or a late check-out rather than a lower price than the OTA, because Booking.com and Agoda contracts usually carry a rate parity clause.
No, and we will not promise either. Bookings depend on your rates, reviews, photos and how quickly you answer a chat, and the ranking for a general keyword is decided by Google alone. What we guarantee is the part a website controls: at least 3 inquiries in 60 days, your business name on page 1 of Google when it is searched, and a mobile PageSpeed score of 90 or higher at handover. If one of them misses, we run improvement rounds, as many as the contract states.
The earliest visitors come from the links you put up yourself: your Instagram bio, Google Business profile and WhatsApp Business. Google search takes longer to get to know a new page, so do not judge it by the first week. On day 30 we send a one-page summary of how many visitors came and from where. If the pace is short, the first improvement round may start then, without waiting for day 60. If you need visitors within days, the route is Meta or Google ads, not waiting on SEO.
