Initial Challenges
Crystal Plaza hotel chain with multiple properties across Sharjah approached us to improve online presence and increase direct bookings. The hotel chain faced severe competition on global booking platforms, along with higher commission rates, which impacted overall profitability.
They were lacking online presence despite having a strong market reputation. The business faced a lack of direct bookings and engagement, while also dealing with higher commission payouts to third-party booking platforms.
The Real Pain Points
Search Visibility
The hotel chain was not ranking for key travel and location-based keywords. This limited its discoverability on search engines. As a result, potential guests were not finding the brand organically.
Direct Booking
Due to low direct visibility, the brand relied heavily on third-party booking platforms. This reduced control over customer acquisition. It also impacted brand visibility outside listing platforms.
Weak Brand Presence
Despite a strong offline reputation, the digital presence was not well established. The brand lacked consistent visibility across search engines. This led to lower engagement and missed opportunities.
