Google Ads for Hotels & Motels in NZ
Fill more rooms with direct bookings, not OTA commissions.
When someone searches "motel in [town]" or "hotel deals this weekend," you want your own booking page to show up — not just Booking.com. Digital Clicks builds Google Ads campaigns that drive direct bookings straight to you.
The problem
Guests are searching. Are they booking direct?
Without a properly managed campaign, most of your bookings flow through OTAs — and their commission eats straight into your margin.
- ✕Searches like "motel in [town]" often lead straight to Booking.com or Expedia instead of your own site.
- ✕Every OTA booking costs 15-25% in commission, even during your busiest periods.
- ✕Generic keyword targeting wastes budget on clicks that were never going to book.
- ✕No tracking means you can't tell which campaigns actually drove direct bookings.
Why it matters
Every direct booking keeps 100% of the room rate
A booking through an OTA looks the same as a direct one on paper — until the commission comes out.
Booking via an OTA
Commission taken straight off the top of every booking, regardless of how full you are.
Booking via Google Ads → your site
You keep the full room rate, and you own the guest relationship for next time.
