Booking Flow Optimization
Your site already gets traffic. We make it convert — fewer steps, faster checkout, no dead ends between "interested" and "booked."
Fixes → bookings you already earned but loseDirect bookings for tour & experience operators
Own your bookings. Stop renting them from OTAs.
We build the direct-booking systems that pull operators off Viator and GetYourGuide — so the revenue you earn is revenue you keep.
Built exclusively for tour & experience operators
The status quo
Every OTA booking is revenue you rent, not own.
Viator and GetYourGuide take 20–30% of every sale — then keep the customer, the email, and the review.
You did the work. They own the relationship. That isn't a sales channel — it's a tax on your best asset, charged again on every repeat booking you never get to see.
The OTA tax, per year
€20 – 80K
Lost to commissions every year — for a single mid-size operator.
Viator−25%
GetYourGuide−28%
Direct (you)0%
Commission rates: Viator & GetYourGuide published seller terms (20–30%). Range based on typical mid-size operator GMV.

What we build
Four systems. One outcome:
bookings you own.
We don't sell "marketing." We install the machinery that turns your own website into your best-performing sales channel.
Lead Capture & Nurture
Most visitors aren't ready today. We capture them and run automated, travel-specific email sequences that bring them back when they are.
Fixes → one-time visitors who never returnAutomated Reviews
Post-trip requests that actually get sent — and answered. More reviews, higher ratings, compounding trust on the channels that decide bookings.
Fixes → a reputation nobody can seeAIEO & Traffic
SEO plus AI Engine Optimization: structured content and schema that get you found on Google and cited by the AI tools travelers now plan with.
Fixes → being impossible to findHow it works
From audit to owned revenue.
A clear path, and a real number to prove it's working.
1
Diagnose
A free audit maps your bookings by source, your conversion rate, and exactly what you're paying OTAs.
2
Seal the leaks
We fix the booking flow, reactivate your customer list, and add lead capture — so you stop losing bookings you already earned.
3
Build the engine
Automated nurture, speed-to-lead, post-trip reviews and pre-trip comms run in the background, on autopilot.
4
Track the shift
One number, reported monthly: OTA % vs direct %. Real movement, not vanity metrics.
Why AIEO
Over half of travelers now plan trips with AI. We make you the answer it gives.
Search didn't disappear — it moved. When someone asks an assistant "best food tour in Lisbon," something gets recommended. AIEO is the work that makes it you: structured content, schema, and citations built so the engines quoting travel quote your business — cited in the answer, not buried under an OTA listing.

"Best food tour in Lisbon?"

~50%+ of travelers now use AI to plan — and almost no operators are optimized for it. That gap is the opportunity.

Positioning
Built exclusively for experience operators.
We don't work with SaaS, e-commerce, or "businesses." We work with people who run tours and experiences — and we've built our entire system around how that business actually works: seasonal cash flow, OTA economics, and the reason great operators stay invisible online.
Focus
100%
of what we build is for tour & experience operators — nothing else, no distractions.
Founding operators
Cohort 01
We're taking a small founding group at launch — priority build, deeper involvement, and a hand in shaping the system. Your numbers become the case studies that live here.
The metric
OTA → Direct
The one number we move — and report to you every single month.
Is this you?
We're a fit — or we're not.
Better to know on the call.
We work with a small number of operators at a time, so fit matters more than fees. Here's who we do our best work for.
Built for you if…
- You're an established operator with real booking volume
- Most of your bookings still run through Viator or GetYourGuide
- You want systems you own, not another retainer to babysit
- You're ready to treat direct bookings as the main channel
Probably not if…
- You're brand-new with no bookings coming in yet
- You're shopping purely for the cheapest option
- You want a quick logo or a one-off ad, not a system
- You're happy paying OTA commission forever
No-risk start
Prefer to talk it through? The call is a real diagnostic, not a pitch.
Go deeper than the audit. On a live call we look at your real numbers together and map the gaps in plain language. If there's nothing worth fixing, we'll tell you that too.
- A live audit of your bookings by source
- Your current OTA % vs direct %
- The three fastest leaks to seal first
- No commitment, no obligation, no jargon

Questions
Straight answers.
Ads rent you attention — the moment you stop paying, it's gone. We build systems you own: a booking flow, a customer list, a review engine, and content that keeps working. Paid traffic is one input, not the whole strategy, and it converts far better once the systems underneath it are fixed.
AIEO — AI Engine Optimization — is getting your business recommended by the AI tools travelers now use to plan. When someone asks an assistant for "the best food tour in town," you want to be the answer it gives, not a blue link on page two of Google. Over half of travelers already plan this way, and almost no operators are optimized for it.
Some leaks close in the first weeks — booking-flow fixes and list reactivation can lift direct bookings fast. The compounding work — reviews, content, AIEO — builds over months. We report the OTA-vs-direct shift monthly, so you see real movement, not guesswork.
Established operators with real booking volume who are tired of handing a chunk of every sale to OTAs. If you're getting bookings but most run through Viator or GetYourGuide, you're exactly who this is built for. The discovery call is the fastest way to know if it's a fit.
Both — but in the right order. We fix conversion and build the owned systems first, so every euro of ad spend lands on a site that actually converts. Then we scale traffic through SEO/AIEO for the long game and Google Ads/GBP for fast wins.
It's yours. The website improvements, the email list and sequences, the review systems, the content — they're your assets, on your accounts. We build you a machine you own, not a dependency you rent.
