Frequently asked questions

What is hotel metasearch and how does it help my hotel?

Metasearch engines like Google Hotel Ads, Trivago, and TripAdvisor allow travelers to compare hotel rates across booking channels.

Metadesk manages your advertising on these platforms to drive qualified traffic directly to your booking engine, helping you capture reservations that would otherwise go to OTAs and reducing your commission costs.

How is Metadesk different from other hotel metasearch platforms?

Metadesk is built by media strategists, not just software developers. We approach metasearch for hotels like any other high-performing media channel — with dynamic budget management, creative testing, and constant optimization.

You won’t just get a dashboard; you’ll get a proactive team managing your spend, diagnosing performance issues, and improving ROI.

Our pricing is also different. Instead of charging a flat fee or percentage of total bookings, we use a variable commission model based on actual media performance — so our incentives are aligned with yours.

Combined with our advanced funnel diagnostics, booking engine audits, and deep hospitality expertise, Metadesk delivers a smarter, more accountable way to manage your hotel’s metasearch.

Does Metadesk work with my booking engine or CRS?

Metadesk integrates with a wide range of hospitality CRS and booking engines. Our team will confirm compatibility during onboarding and handle technical setup for a seamless launch.

How does Metadesk's pay-per-stay pricing work?

With pay-per-stay pricing, you only pay when a guest completes their stay - not just when they book. This aligns our success with yours and protects you from cancellations. We fund the upfront media budget, and you're billed only on completed reservations, making budgeting predictable and performance-driven.
