15%+

That's what every OTA booking costs you in commission.

On R500,000 of bookings a year, R75,000 or more goes to Booking.com and Airbnb. A guest who books direct costs you nothing, and stays your guest, not theirs.

What we do

Get found. Get chosen. Get booked direct.

Grow organic traffic

When travellers search for a place to stay in your town, your property shows up. We build your rankings, your Google Business Profile and content that answers what guests actually type.

Get seen by AI

Travellers now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI where to stay. If the AI doesn't know your property, you don't exist in that answer. We make sure it knows you, and recommends you.

Grow direct bookings

Our 24/7 WhatsApp Concierge replies to every enquiry in seconds and walks the guest from question to confirmed booking. No missed messages, no commission.

The 24/7 WhatsApp Concierge

You were asleep. You still got the booking.

Most enquiries arrive after hours, and most guests book whoever answers first. Your Concierge replies in seconds at 23:00 on a Tuesday, answers the guest's questions, and takes them straight to a confirmed direct booking.

Your next guest is searching from London. Or Joburg.

South African properties host the world. A couple in Berlin planning a Garden Route trip, a family in Pretoria booking a long weekend: they search differently, but they choose the same way. The property they can find, trust and talk to wins the booking.

  • Instant WhatsApp replies across time zones, while you sleep
  • A direct booking path that works as well from Frankfurt as from Fourways

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Do I have to leave Booking.com and Airbnb?

No. Keep your listings — they're useful shop windows. The goal is to shift a bigger share of your bookings to your own channels, so less of your revenue leaves as commission.

Is the WhatsApp Concierge a bot?

It's an AI concierge trained on your property: your rooms, rates, policies and area. It answers instantly around the clock, and hands the conversation to you whenever a guest needs a human.

How long before I see results?

The Concierge starts converting enquiries from the first week. Organic and AI visibility build over months, not days — that's the honest answer, and it's also why it's hard for competitors to catch up once you're ahead.

What does it cost?

It depends on your property's size and what you need. Start with the free audit — you'll see exactly where you stand, and we'll give you a straight answer on pricing with no pressure.

What's in the free audit?

We check where you rank for the searches that matter, what ChatGPT and Google's AI say when travellers ask about staying in your area, and where enquiries are slipping through. You get the findings whether you work with us or not.

See what travellers see when they search for you.

The free audit shows you three things: where you rank on Google, what AI tells travellers about your area, and where you're losing direct bookings. It takes us a day, and it costs you nothing.
