USD 45 · COP 152K Rooms 61 Category 4★ · chain City Ibagué · centro comercial Avg. reputation 8.4 / 10 · Booking 590 reviews 01 · Organic positioning 3.0 / 5 Moderate 02 · Direct booking media 2.4 / 5 Low performance 03 · OTA presence 3.1 / 5 Moderate Diagnostic summary ## A well-liked mall-side hotel that pays to be the priciest place to book it. A comfortable business hotel attached to a shopping centre in Ibagué, with warm reviews for its breakfast and location. The commercial setup works against it: Booking takes the featured panel slot, the official site is the most expensive option, and a reseller undercuts it by nearly a third. The numbers at a glance · estimated from public sources Annual room revenue · potential at 75% benchmark ≈ USD 0.75M USD 0.75M potential / year Kept by the hotel · 71% ≈ USD 0.53M Lost to OTA commissions · 16% ≈ USD 0.12M Lost to low occupancy · 13% ≈ USD 0.10M Occupancy (assumed) 65% Orange mark: 75% market benchmark Paid to OTAs every year ≈ USD 0.12M 20% commission on the 90% of revenue booked through OTAs. Profit leaving the business, not marketing spend. Revenue lost to low occupancy ≈ USD 0.10M ~2,230 unsold room-nights a year vs. the 75% market benchmark. Assumptions: 61 rooms × 365 nights · 65% occupancy vs. 75% market benchmark · ADR USD 45 from public rate research (~COP 152K) · 90% of bookings via OTAs at 20% average commission, per chain-level client input. Figures to be replaced with actuals during onboarding. ## What's behind these numbers, and where we start #### Make booking direct the best deal Measured live: Booking holds the featured panel slot, the official site is the most expensive option (ARS 99,279), and rehlat.co undercuts it ~32%. Parity repair comes first. OTA optimization · rate parity #### Fix measurement and consolidate the engine Frozen Analytics parameters and a two-domain booking engine mean direct bookings cannot be attributed. Repair cross-domain tracking and consolidate one engine. Direct booking media · tracking & attribution #### Reclaim the brand search No official ad defends the name, while Booking bids on it and a scraper clone (hoteldanncombeima.com-website.com) sits in the results. Coverage plus a takedown recover demand. Direct booking media · Google Paid Search #### Turn Google's panel into a direct channel The official site is listed but priced highest. With a competitive rate it becomes the cheapest visible option, and Booking loses the featured slot it currently owns. Direct booking media · Google Hotel Ads #### Fill the empty rooms 61 rooms below the 75% benchmark. Discount campaigns, seasonal promotions and OTA CPC (Expedia TravelAds, Booking CPC), leaning on the mall-access convenience, attack the ~USD 0.10M occupancy gap.
