Your ad report should answer one question. How many nights did I book?

Your ad report should answer one question. How many nights did I book?

Most lodging ad accounts count button clicks as wins. One account I work on showed 5,196 conversions from 7,138 clicks. A 73% conversion rate isn’t real. So I rebuilt the tracking. Now every booking in the report is a real reservation from your booking system, with a real dollar amount.

Simon Stauber, founder of Stauber Creative

You work with me, not an account manager. I only take on as many clients as I can give my full attention. This fits owner-run inns, cabins, and vacation rentals that take bookings online, invest in doing things well, and can spend at least $750 a month on ads.
