The challenge

A 96-room boutique hotel on Pattaya Beach Road was losing 32% of every confirmed booking to OTA commissions (Agoda, Booking.com, Expedia). Organic search traffic to their own website was thin — 1,200 monthly sessions, almost all branded — and the direct-booking rate hovered at 11%.

What we did

  • Migrated the existing Elementor site to a clean WordPress build with structured-data markup for Hotel, Room, AggregateRating, LocalBusiness.
  • Rewrote 18 landing pages targeting non-branded long-tail intent (“boutique hotel near Walking Street”, “pet-friendly hotel Pattaya beach”, “honeymoon suite Pattaya sea view”).
  • Built 47 manual Tier-1 backlinks from travel + lifestyle publications across SEA over 6 months.
  • Connected the WhatsApp Business API directly to the booking enquiry form so the front desk could close in chat.

The result (8-month window)

  • Organic sessions: 1,200/mo → 9,400/mo
  • Direct-booking share: 11% → 38%
  • OTA commission saved: ฿1.42M across the engagement
  • Average rate (Agoda vs direct): direct now within 4% of OTA wholesale

The hotel keeps the rights to the content and the SEO equity. We bill a fixed monthly retainer — no commission on bookings.
