The Real Problem

You’re not losing to competitors.
You’re losing to platforms.

OTAs, aggregators, and Google’s own booking features are quietly eating your revenue — one commission at a time.

25%

Commission gone on every booking

On a ₹8,000 room night, MakeMyTrip takes up to ₹2,000 before your guest even checks in. Booking.com takes ₹1,440. That’s not a referral fee — that’s a recurring tax on your own property, every single night.

61%

Of independent bookings are OTA-controlled

The industry average: 61% of independent hotel bookings go through OTAs. Which means the OTA owns your guest’s data, their email, their next trip — not you. You’re building their customer base, not yours.

Guest data you own after an OTA booking

Every guest who books via an OTA is the OTA’s customer — not yours. No email. No phone. No repeat booking without paying commission again. The relationship resets to zero every single time.

What We Do

The Frisler Hotel Growth System

Four channels. One agency. One report. No more juggling vendors or wondering who’s responsible when bookings drop.

Google Search Ads

Reach travellers the moment they search “boutique resort in [your city]” or “hotel near [landmark]”. Intent-matched ads that drive direct booking enquiries — not OTA clicks.

Local SEO & GMB Management

Own the Google Map Pack for “resort near [location]” and “hotel in [city]”. GMB fully optimised: photos, Q&A, posts, reviews, and category strategy — so you rank where guests are searching.

Meta & Instagram Ads

Targeted campaigns for weekend packages, monsoon deals, and seasonal offers. Retarget website visitors who checked your rooms but didn’t book. Build a warm audience you own — not a platform’s.

SEO & Content Strategy

Long-term organic traffic that compounds. We build destination content, travel guides, and keyword clusters that make your resort the answer to what guests are already searching — months before they book.

“One agency. One point of contact. You stop juggling vendors — we handle the full picture.”

Why Frisler

Why hospitality brands choose us
over generalist agencies

There’s a difference between an agency that has done a hotel campaign and an agency that thinks in bookings, seasons, and OTA commission maths.

✓

Hospitality-first thinking

We understand peak season, off-season, weekend rates, and OTA dependency — not just CTR and CPC.

✓

Google Ads + SEO + Social — one roof

No more three vendors blaming each other. One agency tracks from impression to booking.

✓

Transparent monthly reporting

You see clicks, calls, enquiries, and booking-intent actions — not vanity metrics.

✓

Goa-proven, pan-India capable

Our resort SEO case study is live in South Goa. We work with properties across India.

✓

No lock-in contracts

We earn retention through results, not paperwork. If the needle moves, you stay. Simple.

✓

₹30K/month minimum — right-sized

Not a mega-agency with 800 clients. You get real attention, not an account manager reading dashboards.

Common Questions

Questions hotel owners ask us

“We’re already on MakeMyTrip and Booking.com — isn’t that enough?” +

OTAs give you visibility — but at a permanent cost of 15–25% per booking, and zero ownership of your guest relationship. When you drive direct bookings through Google Ads and SEO, that ₹2,000 commission stays with you. More importantly, you own the guest’s data — their email, their preferences, their repeat booking. OTAs should be one channel, not your entire strategy.

“We tried a digital marketing agency before and didn’t see results.” +

Most agencies treat hotels like e-commerce brands — they optimise for clicks, not bookings. Hotel marketing requires understanding seasonality, intent timing, local search behaviour, and OTA competition dynamics. We start with an audit that shows you exactly what wasn’t working before — and why. If we can’t show you a clear path to better results, we say so upfront.

“How long before we see results?” +

It depends on the channel. Google Ads and Meta Ads: First enquiries typically within 7–14 days of launch. GMB optimisation: Improved local rankings within 30–60 days. SEO and content: Organic traffic growth shows in 3–6 months and compounds over time. We recommend a multi-channel approach so you get quick wins while building long-term organic equity — like Soul Vacation’s jump from position 16 to 5 in under 12 months.

“What’s the minimum budget to work with Frisler?” +

Our minimum engagement starts at ₹30,000/month (agency fee, excluding ad spend). Ad spend budget is separate and depends on your goals and channels. We’re not the right fit for everyone — if your budget is below this, we’ll say so honestly rather than take the work and deliver mediocre results.

“Do you only work with large hotel chains?” +

No. Our Sweet spot is independent hotels, boutique resorts, and heritage properties — exactly the kind of property that suffers most from OTA dependence and has the most to gain from a direct booking strategy. Our Soul Vacation case study is a boutique wellness resort, not a chain. Smaller properties benefit more because every direct booking saved is a proportionally higher margin impact.
