Episode Notes Travel metasearch sites, which enable consumers to compare hotel or flight prices from multiple vendors simultaneously, had been thriving since the early days of online travel. But the sector is experiencing a rough patch now, reports Executive Editor Dennis Schaal.  Schaal writes some of the major travel metasearch players have had financial issues in recent years, noting Google has eaten into Tripadvisor's metasearch market share. Tripadvisor's hotel metasearch revenue grew only 7% in 2023. Meanwhile, Trivago recorded a roughly $176 million loss last year.  Wells Fargo Managing Director Brian Fitzgerald said factors other than increased competition from Google have contributed to the struggles of travel metasearch companies. Hotels in particular have been able to attract more direct traffic through their loyalty programs. Next, United Airlines is offering pilots unpaid time off in May due to delivery delays with Boeing jets, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi.  The carrier said its projected 2024 block hours — the industry's standard measure for aircraft use — have been cut. So United pilots now have the option of taking unpaid time off to help reduce excess staffing. Boeing delivery delays have also impacted hiring at United, with the airline announcing it would halt pilot hiring in May and June.  Finally, baseball star Shohei Ohtani could boost tourism to the U.S. this season after joining the Los Angeles Dodgers — that is, if he isn't suspended for being involved in an ongoing gambling scandal, writes Associate Editor Rashaad Jorden.  Japanese travel agency JTB is looking to take advantage of the huge interest in Japan in seeing Ohtani play for the Dodgers. JTB, which agreed to an international partnership with Major League Baseball earlier this year, is offering travel packages to Ohtani's regular season games in the U.S. JTB Branding and PR Manager Kaori Mori said the company saw enormous demand in the travel packages it offered for the season-opening series in South Korea between the Dodgers and San Diego Padres. Ohtani has been mired in controversy recently, as his longtime interpreter has been accused of stealing millions of dollars from Ohtani to cover a gambling debt. But Mori said she believes more Japanese fans want to travel to the U.S. to watch Ohtani, who has denied betting on baseball.  Producer/Presenter: Jose Marmolejos

Nel panorama in continua evoluzione dell'industria alberghiera, la distribuzione efficace gioca un ruolo cruciale nel successo di un hotel, sia dal punto di vista del brand che delle vendite. Distribuire con consapevolezza i propri alloggi diventa però sempre più difficile in un contesto dove si rischia frammentazione e scarso controllo. In Ospitalità 4.0 Gold si parlerà di distribuzione e rischi di frammentazione tra canali diretti, OTA, Metasearch, GDS e le buone vecchie agenzie di viaggio.Scarica la mappa concettuale della puntata ➡️ https://landing.slope.it/mappe-concettuali/

Può una partita di padel essere lo spunto per una puntata del podcast Ospitalità 4.0? Nella 188esima puntata del podcast si parlerà di come riconoscere trend e mode nel settore alberghiero portando esempi e casi pratici come il social Clubhouse, il metasearch Google Travel e molto altro ancora.

Il metasearch lavora secondo un modello di funzionamento conosciuto come “price advertising”, quindi sul metasearch si va ad investire del budget per mettere in risalto il “miglior prezzo” della struttura per determinate date.Nella 180esima puntata del podcast Ospitalità 4.0 si parlerà dei costi dei metasearch, analizzando anche quali sono i costi nascosti che possono trarci in inganno. https://www.slope.it/2022/09/12/capiamo-il-metasearch-di-google-e-perche-e-diverso-da-booking-com/

Bisogna far attenzione a non confondere canali OTA e Metasearch, talvolta queste due tipologie di piattaforme rischiano di essere confuse tra loro. Nella 179esima puntata del podcast Ospitalità 4.0 si parlerà approfonditamente di OTA e Metasearch. I metasearch hanno il compito di interrogare il contenuto di più portali di vendita (tra cui canali OTA e sito ufficiale della struttura) e vanno ad aggregare i risultati in un'unica lista.I canali OTA mostrano invece SOLO nella propria piattaforma disponibilità, tariffe e prezzi di quelle strutture che hanno deciso di vendere i propri alloggi in quel portale.

Il channel manager è uno strumento che ormai è entrato nella quotidianità degli albergatori, il suo utilizzo è quanto mai fondamentale per sincronizzare prenotazioni, tariffe e disponibilità con i diversi canali OTA e metasearch, evitando così di andare in overbooking. Nella 134esima puntata del podcast Ospitalità 4.0 Edoardo e Marco hanno come ospite Leopoldo Sergi, co-founder e CTO di RoomCloud, uno dei primi channel manager sul mercato italiano che dal 2009 offre connettività alle strutture ricettive del bel paese.Diversi gli argomenti trattati nel corso della puntata, tra cui: • Che cosa fa effettivamente un channel manager? 
• Quali sono le sfide tecnologiche che affronta un team di ingegneria del software che sviluppa un channel manager? 
• Come funziona il collegamento di un nuovo canale OTA a RoomCloud? 
• La sincronizzazione istantanea dei canali è una leggenda dei marketer?

All Things Metasearch for hospitality

In this episode we continue our Google discussion to address the verticalization of Google's digital marketing formats for Hospitality. We talk about how this applies to branded vs. non-branded keywords and how these apply to the marketing funnel. We also provide an explanation of “The Marketing Funnel” in as it ties directly to our next episode on TripAdvisor Plus!

In this episode, we will talk about the recent launch of Google's Free Booking Links, aka Google Free Organic Meta. We cover the pros and cons, as well as a few recommendations on who can benefit most!

Google Hotel Ads, Free Booking Links, Property Promotion Ads e molto altro ancora. Nella puntata 106 del podcast Ospitalità 4.0 Edoardo e Marco avranno come ospite Armando Travaglini, consulente e formatore per il web marketing turistico, con cui parleranno delle nuove funzionalità messe in campo da Google nel settore travel.https://www.slope.it/2021/04/09/google-hotel-brainstorming-con-armando-travaglini-podcast-ep-106/

In questa 104esima puntata del podcast Edoardo e Marco analizzeranno i vantaggi, ma perlopiù gli svantaggi, di avere una eccessiva frammentazione tariffaria per quanto riguarda la presenza della nostra struttura in canali OTA e metasearch. Essere presenti in più canali di vendita può sembrare cosa semplice, ovvia e chiaramente migliorativa, il problema è che non è così. All’aumentare del numero di canali su cui vendiamo nasce e cresce il problema della consistenza tariffaria. Argomenti trattati nella puntata: - Consistenza tariffaria: che cosa si intende?- I rischi di essere su molti canali di vendita- Prezzi diversi = calo di credibilitàhttps://www.slope.it/2021/03/26/consistenza-tariffaria-podcast-ep-104/

This past week, Google quietly rolled out what may end up being a Trojan horse. By opening up Google Hotel Search organic listings, Google aims to gain access to rates and inventory for every accommodation provider on the planet. In this episode, we discuss the facts, the implications, and give advice on how to navigate the changing landscape.

Ultima novità in casa Google: Google Hotel Ads diventa il primo metasearch GRATUITO.Da oggi Google, attraverso Free Booking Links, permette di mostrare nella scheda dell'hotel una lista di risultati organici (non a pagamento) tra cui il vostro canale diretto (booking engine).Come funziona? Grazie alla partnership tra Slope e Google vi basterà richiedere l'attivazione del canale e in pochissimo tempo metterete in vendita il vostro hotel su Google Hotel Ads senza dover creare campagne a pagamento (gratuitamente).Scaletta degli argomenti trattati: - Il metasearch di Google finalmente gratuito, l’inizio di una rivoluzione? - che cos'è il metasearch google hotel ads- dove vengono mostrati i prezzi dell’hotel- l'importanza della scheda google my business e del collegamento al booking engine per completare la prenotazione- come si attivahttps://www.slope.it/2021/03/09/google-hotel-risultati-organici-come-funziona-e-come-connettersi

Vendere su un metasearch o vendere su un portale OTA non è la stessa cosa. L’errore più comune che si può fare è pensare che un metasearch e un OTA abbiano le stesse dinamiche di funzionamento. Non è così.Nella 97esima puntata del podcast Ospitalità 4.0 Edoardo e Marco spiegheranno il motivo per cui metasearch e OTA hanno principi e logiche di funzionamento molto diversi.Gli argomenti trattati nella puntata saranno: - definizione di canale OTA e di metasearch- metasearch e concetto di price advertising- dove si posiziona il metasearch nel funnel di prenotazione- quanto costa fare pubblicità sui metasearch come Google Hotel Ads?https://www.slope.it/2021/02/12/vendere-sui-metamotori-e-diverso-podcast-ep-97/

In the spirit of thinking ahead to the new year, this week's podcast takes a look at how metasearch is inspiring tomorrow's digital leaders. Inspired by a Koddi article from 2018, I talk about how the role of “metasearch manager” requires a skill set beyond that of a typical digital marketer. We know the lines between revenue management, marketing, sales, and reservation managers were already getting blurry prior to the pandemic. Today, the lines have often been completely erased, resulting in the need for everyone to add new tools to their tool belt. The 6th episode of our Heavy Meta podcast focuses on the skill sets needed to become an effective metasearch manager. You can also learn more / sign up for our educational webinar series by visiting https://basecampmeta.com/meta-educational-series

In episode #5 we take a quick look back at one of our most popular episodes where we talked about setting goals for your marketing campaigns. We then transition into a discussion on how even the smallest of hotels (i.e. 10-room B&B in Omaha) can and should participate in Google meta.

In today's podcast we welcome Adele Gutman Milne from Aspire Reputation Marketing to talk about the correlation between guest satisfaction and your metasearch marketing campaigns. We cover practical tips for improving your guest feedback, as well as how to leverage this for better metasearch performance!

This week's podcast taps into the elusive topic of how to set budgets for metasearch. We will look at 3 separate strategies and explore the pros and cons of each. We will then tie this into how meta plays a larger role in your overall direct booking program, and tie this back to the budget discussion.   (1)    Budgeting for meta Uncapped? Pros & ConsNo budget at all (PPS)?  Pros & ConsSomewhere in between? Pros & Cons   (2)    Meta as part of larger direct booking program Mobile vs. DesktopBooking engine flow / conversionDesktop widgetsRemarketingAttribution

We continue our podcast by picking up with the cliffhanger question from our last episode – Would a 100% cost of sale be a deal breaker? Learn more about how setting and understanding goals will dictate your path in meta, as well as any other marketing campaign. We also talk about what to expect from meta, how this differs by hotel and device, and how this relates to your typical SEM campaign.     Outline   (1)    Setting your goals Would 100% COS be a deal breaker? It depends!Our goals dictate our pathBrandingVolumeOwning the guestCOS / ROASDiversified Portfolio   (2)    What to expect from meta Segue from goals & revisit the comparison to brand / non-branded searchConversion rates matter / Mobile vs. DesktopReview 2019 Performance StatsLaw of Diminishing Returns

Annemarie Gubanski, Founder & CEO, Taktikon Consultancy, joins me from Stockholm to talk about the upcoming November 5th Revenue Forum Webinar on metasearch.

"Why is MetaSearch So Important?" In this inaugural episode of the Heavy-Meta podcast we start off with an overview of why meta is such a big deal these days. Each episode will also feature some myth-busting, and today we address the myth that metasearch only provides channel shift rather than new business.

Today we are joined by Stephanie Smith from one of our Expert Partners: Cogwheel Marketing (https://www.cogwheelmarketing.com/) Stephanie puts forward her reasoning as to why she feels investing in metasearch is not the best use of resources for branded hotels at this current time. Stephanie outlines why, in this current climate and changing guest profile, she feels metasearch is just a channel shift and is not producing incremental revenue. We touch on ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) and why when comparing your metasearch spend with OTA commission you may not be comparing apples with apples. Finally we look at where our limited budgets could be used further up the funnel to drive that incremental revenue. Here are the chapters: 0:00 Video Intro 1:08 Brand Intro 1:19 Welcome Guest 1:59 Guest Intro 4:05 Metasearch: Is it Currently Worth It? 7:43 Metasearch: Not Incremental Revenue 12:02 ROAS Comparison Not Apples to Apples 20:38 Where should we invest our budget 29:22 Does COVID Instill a Short Term View 32:12 Wrap Up You can also connect with us on: LinkedIn:     https://www.linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub (https://www.linkedin.com/company/revenue-hub/?viewAsMember=true) Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/revenuehub (https://www.facebook.com/revenuehub/) Twitter:        https://twitter.com/revenue_hub You can see the interview on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/PTCGuNw9ysA

Are hoteliers using metasearch amid the COVID-19 recovery? If so, how effectively? Dorian answers these questions along with what you need to know about metasearch: 1. Understand where your travelers are coming from, 2. Understand which types of travelers they are, 3. Choose the right platform, 4. Be present online.

magine a world where there is no Google. Doesn't life get harder the moment you imagine it? You use it multiple numerous times a day, and why shouldn't you? It has made the lives so comfortable. You can ask it just anything and you'll get the answer. But how did this came out of nowhere in the early 2000s when the internet was being dominated by a crowd of Search Engine giants including Ask, Yahoo!, AltaVista, DogPile, MetaSearch, WebCrawler and many others? Google came in existence and in no time its competitors were no more in existence. Listen to this podcast on the out of the box idea used by the founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin to make Google the most successful story on the internet.
