The challenge

A new website, an integrated booking engine and an SEO strategy for a group of coastal boutique hotels.

More than 70% of bookings came through online travel platforms, with hefty commissions. The old website was slow, barely visible on Google and hard to use on a smartphone.

The solution

La soluzione

We designed a website that sells the experience before the room: video, local stories and an always-visible booking engine with a best-price guarantee.

The new content architecture covers every property, experience and destination. With technical and local SEO, the site now ranks for the searches that truly matter, in Italian, English and German.

Google Hotel Ads and Meta campaigns reach people who have already searched for the hotels and bring them back to the website, where booking costs less.

  • Booking flow on a smartphone, with room selection, dates and payment on a single screen
  • Sea-view room with linen sheets, a photo used on the property pages
  • Terrace of a Vela boutique hotel overlooking the sea at sunset, with white sun loungers and an infinity pool
