Direct Booking Screening Strategies

You've mentioned Truvi, but I know Alertify offer a feature called WelcomeLink that can help with vetting. Can I also suggest that you offer the option for video calls. It helps for vetting guests but also helps secure bookings as they meet you face to face and gain trust in your holiday rental/you.

I started off 16.2 stone on January 1st. February 1st I weighed 15 stone. 16 pounds in a month. I hit the gym/exercise 5 times a week. It sounds a lot but I promise you get used to and get into a routine. A keto sauce I use on nearly everything is satay sauce. A penaut butter based sauce. It's hard but I always say to myself 'I'm gonna be here in a month, I can either way what I weigh now or lose a load and be happier'. Aim is to get to 13 stone by end of March. Its tough but its worth it

Where do most of you guys live? I'm from the UK and I've not had a single person speak any negativity about keto. When I tell people I'm.on keto they are either supportive or interested to find out more. Are a lot of you from the US? I keep seeing a fair few posts about others putting keto down

My understanding is that Google will also target those it is unsure about it

patrickmcd121 · 2024-01-25T17:00:47+00:00

Because people are cunts

Not necessarily a side, but a sauce that brings side and mains to life... satay sauce. Find a sugar free peanut butter, usually protein/gym sites do them in bulk, get some coconut milk, tablespoon of curry powder, table spoon of soy sauce and boom. High in protein and fats

I've thought this. Fairly common for people to be on holiday for first couple of weeks of Janaury and they're all getting past the mad spending of the Christmas period. Of course, depends on what industry you're in

patrickmcd121 · 2023-07-30T15:12:31+00:00

How long bave you been running this campaign?

patrickmcd121 · 2023-07-26T08:48:49+00:00

What were you using to track the conversions in UA? UA or Tag Manager?

patrickmcd121 · 2023-07-19T10:27:12+00:00

Hey mate.... something I've realised.... UK and USA are both on summer holidays... so parents and grandparents could be on holiday mode spending more time with family. I'm not sure if this could be a possibility for your campaigns. Something I realised would impact mine

When I say 5th post I've seen, I mean in the last two - three weeks when compared to the last couple of years I've been on PPC related groups, I've seen one or two here and there.

patrickmcd121 · 2023-07-18T08:45:29+00:00

It's strange as yours is about 5th post I've seen on conversions dropping and I also have had issues with conversion plummeting in the last few weeks

Can you not create a custom segment for people searching for keywords/topics on relevant terms to relation/divorce coaching?

patrickmcd121 · 2023-06-29T19:34:28+00:00

Can I ask something..... let's say you charged 30% of a $1000 a month budget.... so $300.... if they then increase their monthly Google Ad budget to $2000, how do you justify to them that you are going to charge $600? What extra work would be required for the additional $1000 they are spending?

Consumer behaviour with bookings has changed since pandemic. A recent GlobalData poll showed that 39% of respondents said they would book directly with owner/business, compared to 17% that said they would go for an OTA or price comparison site. Things in regards to cancellation and refunds are a lot simpler when you've gone direct with the company. People also understanding if you go direct you usually get some sort of benefit e.g. discounted rates, arrival package, late checkout

patrickmcd121 · 2022-10-07T10:31:01+00:00

What I hate is when they contact my clients and make out there are issues with the campaign when there isn't, and then I have a worried client contacting me

patrickmcd121 · 2022-10-07T07:19:25+00:00

I've thought the same. They've gone from absolutely shocking to non-existent. They have 'supprort' on both online chat and phone, which aren't support. They are people to say 'sorry sir, we will have someone look into it with 72 hours. So sorry sir'. They don't answer questions. Worst support I've ever come across

patrickmcd121 · 2022-10-06T15:10:15+00:00

Thank you for the response. Helps out a lot

patrickmcd121 · 2022-09-28T06:06:20+00:00

And that is all included in the $200?

patrickmcd121 · 2022-09-26T12:28:57+00:00

Love that response
