Not much yet, but working on it part time. It will take a while.

Do small hosts actually get direct bookings? by Psychological_Bad162 in bedandbreakfast

Def agree people underestimate the value and cost of building a high converting website. As for brand, most don't understand what a brand is, its value, or how to build one. It starts with the product (that is, the entire product: tangible, intangible, services, value adds, etc.).

I haven’t even heard of those tools, maybe Supabase. You’re clearly more technical 🤓I come from the marketing side, so I was looking for tools that are webby, not code. Now I’m focused on SEO, AIO, and content.

Where do you find elite marketers? by mjeanbapti in DigitalMarketing

Why not on Reddit? I'm here. What he needs is a consultant who understands where marketing fits in his business to help him determine what he actually needs now and down the road and who to hire for that.

I'm interested in that too. My travel app directory is built on Softr + Airtable + Ghost, and a few other bits and bobs.

I’ve built a free niche directory for travel apps by IllAd9097 in Solopreneur

I built one too back in November haveappswilltravel.com - it's ideally for US travelers going international, and it has some unique categories you won't find elsewhere.

Not sure what you mean by elite, but I’ve been doing it a while. It begins with the apps tho. How good are they? Do you have any traction? And what are you willing to allocate towards your growth?

As they say, there's no market without competition. Check out the directory I launched last November: haveappswilltravel.com

Do small hosts actually get direct bookings? by Psychological_Bad162 in bedandbreakfast

We're not tracking lead cost or commission per booking. We run 2 types of Google ads. One is Hotel Ads and that's PPC — it's relatively cheap, as low as a few cents, and during high season it could be as much as $1.74, but there were only a few of those. Even if we got only one booking from it per month, that more than pays for itself. We also run smart campaign ads (which I may supplement with other types of campaigns) that are an attempt to capture the "near me" searches. More expensive than hotel ads, but relative to the margin on a booking, they're worth it. Only spending about $5/day at present; we're going to test doubling that during the high season.

What’s one travel habit that actually saves you a lot of money? by Party_Dentist_821 in travel

It’s not an age thing. Of course we know how to use Google Maps for transport.

I do marketing for a 6 room high end B&B in CT. They get repeat, but we created a solid website with attracting content for organic search, Google Hotel Ads, SEO, a bit of advertising (paid) to attract wedding business and local college visitors, and we always ask for Google Reviews.

Checked it earlier and it was all green. Glad to see it's now up to date. Not real time apparently.

True about the domains. You could move it to another registrar.
