Becurious helps hotels get more direct bookings through their own website

Marketing & Sales 22 May 2026

A hotel website has long since ceased to be just a digital business card. For hotels that want to be less dependent on external booking platforms, their own website has become an important sales channel. Becurious helps hotels make that channel stronger, smarter and more measurable.

Becurious's mission is clear: to support hotels in achieving more direct bookings through their own websites. Not only by building an attractive hotel website, but especially by making that website function as a powerful marketing tool. The hotel's story, unique features and guest experience must be highlighted online as clearly and enticingly as possible. This way, the website is not only found, but also encourages visitors to book.

To this end, Becurious developed its own platform and content management system for hotel websites. From that base, hotels can professionally present their rooms, packages, offers and distinctive qualities. A good hotel website must be fast, user-friendly, mobile-optimised and logically structured. Especially for hotels, the step from looking to booking is crucial: the less friction in the reservation process, the greater the chance that a visitor will actually become a guest.

Measuring where visitors come from

A strong hotel website also requires insight. Becurious ensures that tracking is set up properly by default, regardless of which booking system a hotel works with. This allows the hotelier to see where visitors come from, how long they stay on the website, whether they click through to the booking engine and whether they eventually book.

That data is important. Without insight, online marketing remains guesswork. With the right data, a hotel can optimise in a much more targeted way. Maybe it turns out that a Google Ads campaign is generating additional direct bookings. Maybe content needs to be better structured for AI search results. Or maybe visitors drop out during the booking process and integration with the booking engine needs to be improved.

The goal always remains the same: attract more relevant visitors to the hotel website and convert those visitors to direct reservations.

Less reliance on external booking platforms

For many hotels, external booking platforms such as Booking.com and Expedia important for reach, but they also bring costs and dependence. Every direct booking through the hotel's own website strengthens the margin as well as the relationship with the guest. The guest books directly with the hotel, the hotel retains more control over communication and the booking becomes part of the guest's own journey.

That's why Becurious looks not only at design, but at the entire pre-booking journey: visibility, findability, website experience, conversion and measurability. Once the reservation is made, other systems and applications connect within the guest journey. But the first step remains essential: making sure the potential guest finds the hotel, gets convinced and books directly.

So a future-proof hotel website is more than beautiful design. It is findable in Google, understandable to AI, attractive to guests, linked to the reservation system and set up for conversion. For hotels looking to grow with more direct bookings, there is a big opportunity there.

With SEO, Becurious ensures that hotels are more findable in search engines such as Google. The agency also focuses on GEO: increasing hotel visibility within AI-driven search and language models.

Through smart online marketing, strong content and extensive data analytics, Becurious helps hotels become less dependent on external booking platforms such as Booking.com and Expedia Group. The goal is to attract more relevant visitors to the hotel website and convert these visitors to direct reservations.

00:00:05,400 -> 00:00:08,760
Becurious is the agency I 27
founded years ago

00:00:08,840 -> 00:00:12,520
and we have
mission, to help hotels and fewer

00:00:12,520 -> 00:00:15,520
becoming dependent on
external parties for reservations.

00:00:15,640 -> 00:00:18,960
So instead of reservations
be done through Booking.com and Expedia,

00:00:19,360 -> 00:00:23,520
we want to ensure that hotels have a
have powerful marketing tools to make that

00:00:23,520 -> 00:00:25,760
themselves, themselves direct that relationship with guests

00:00:25,760 -> 00:00:28,120
enter into and
be able to map that reservation themselves.

00:00:28,120 -> 00:00:33,000
Basically, we do that with a
very good website and for websites,

00:00:33,000 -> 00:00:36,600
hotel websites we have our own platform /
Content management system developed.

00:00:36,960 -> 00:00:38,280
And that is actually the starting point.

00:00:38,280 -> 00:00:41,600
What we try at those websites is
basically it the story of the hotel,

00:00:41,600 -> 00:00:45,200
the unique aspects, to make those
put forward as best as possible

00:00:45,480 -> 00:00:47,560
and actually so attractive
possible to present.

00:00:47,560 -> 00:00:49,120
Which when the

00:00:49,120 -> 00:00:52,680
visitors come to the website, entice
be made to start making that reservation.

00:00:53,280 -> 00:00:56,280
How do visitors
well to the hotel's website?

00:00:56,640 -> 00:00:59,520
Search Engine Optimisation already exists
years and actually the findability

00:00:59,520 -> 00:01:00,160
in search engines.

00:01:00,160 -> 00:01:03,440
But what is increasingly important is also
The Generative Engine Optimisation,

00:01:03,440 -> 00:01:06,920
so that it is the visibility
of the hotel in the AI language models.

00:01:07,520 -> 00:01:11,600
As a hotel, it is important to understand
have in the performance of your website.

00:01:11,640 -> 00:01:15,560
In doing so, the number of visitors
and where those visitors come from

00:01:15,560 -> 00:01:16,800
crucial, of course.

00:01:16,800 -> 00:01:20,760
But also whether
these visitors are converted to

00:01:20,760 -> 00:01:22,640
eventually bookers, to guests.

00:01:22,640 -> 00:01:25,640
We make sure, by default, that those
tracking, that that is in good order.

00:01:25,920 -> 00:01:28,040
No matter in which booking system
you work,

00:01:28,040 -> 00:01:32,040
we make sure you know as a hotelier,
where do my visitors come from?

00:01:32,560 -> 00:01:35,280
How long are they on the website and do
they end up with a reservation?

00:01:35,280 -> 00:01:36,760
And if so, for what kind of turnover?

00:01:36,760 -> 00:01:38,840
If you have this data, these insights
don't have,

00:01:38,840 -> 00:01:40,240
you don't know where to start either.

00:01:40,240 -> 00:01:42,920
Do you have these insights
well, then we can also advise

00:01:42,920 -> 00:01:45,840
it might be useful to use a
Google Ads campaign to get started.

00:01:45,840 -> 00:01:49,800
Whether we see that you are indeed in
the AI language models are not so visible.

00:01:50,000 -> 00:01:52,840
Perhaps we should go and see if
we can use GEO to ensure that your

00:01:52,840 -> 00:01:56,520
hotel becomes more visible and more
getting traffic from these kinds of sources.

00:01:56,520 -> 00:02:00,400
Look, we can basically work with virtually
integrate and link all parties.

00:02:00,680 -> 00:02:04,680
It is worth noting, though, that we are very
very much in the acquisition phase, so we

00:02:04,680 -> 00:02:08,880
Ensure relevant search traffic
comes to your website

00:02:08,880 -> 00:02:12,520
and on that website itself eventually a
reservation is going to make.

00:02:12,840 -> 00:02:15,680
And the moment that reservation was made
is, there are

00:02:15,680 -> 00:02:18,680
actually a lot of applications
which then turn on.

00:02:18,720 -> 00:02:20,640
Those will send you an automated message.

00:02:20,640 -> 00:02:23,120
Are you coming to our hotel? can we help you?

00:02:23,120 -> 00:02:26,400
And that is also part of
the guest journey.

00:02:26,480 -> 00:02:27,680
Logically.

00:02:27,680 -> 00:02:29,880
But that actually starts only after we
largest part

00:02:29,880 -> 00:02:31,000
of our work already done.

00:02:31,000 -> 00:02:32,880
We ensure that those

00:02:32,880 -> 00:02:36,600
potential guest comes to your website
and on your website making that reservation.

00:02:36,760 -> 00:02:38,280
And when that reservation is made,

00:02:38,280 -> 00:02:42,400
then there are numerous applications
who then take charge of communications.

00:02:42,680 -> 00:02:45,000
But there those we know,
We also like working with that. Yes.
