A genuinely special property: a restored colonial monastery in the heart of Popayán, with a strong reputation for its architecture and breakfast. It has a website, but a standard Dann chain template that barely shows the heritage; meanwhile no ad defends the brand and the official rate is the most expensive option in Google's panel. The numbers at a glance · estimated from public sources Annual room revenue · potential at 75% benchmark ≈ USD 0.71M USD 0.71M potential / year Kept by the hotel · 71% ≈ USD 0.50M Lost to OTA commissions · 16% ≈ USD 0.11M Lost to low occupancy · 13% ≈ USD 0.09M Occupancy (assumed) 65% Orange mark: 75% market benchmark Paid to OTAs every year ≈ USD 0.11M 20% commission on the 90% of revenue booked through OTAs. Profit leaving the business, not marketing spend. Revenue lost to low occupancy ≈ USD 0.09M ~1,720 unsold room-nights a year vs. the 75% market benchmark. Assumptions: 47 rooms × 365 nights · 65% occupancy vs. 75% market benchmark · ADR USD 55 from public rate research (~COP 186K) · 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 the website do justice to the heritage The property sits on the standard Dann WordPress template, so a restored colonial monastery looks like every other chain hotel. The building, the courtyard and the Popayán location deserve dedicated storytelling, imagery and destination content. Organic positioning · content #### Make booking direct the best deal Measured live: the official rate is the most expensive in Google's panel (ARS 116,798), undercut ~28% by rehlat.co and ~16% by Booking. Parity repair comes before campaigns. OTA optimization · rate parity #### Fix measurement and consolidate the engine Frozen Analytics parameters and a booking engine split across two domains 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. For a unique, searchable property like this, brand-search coverage captures demand that already knows exactly what it wants. Direct booking media · Google Paid Search #### Fill the empty rooms 47 rooms below the 75% benchmark, in a heritage hotel with year-round appeal. Discount campaigns, seasonal promotions and OTA CPC (Expedia TravelAds, Booking CPC) attack the ~USD 0.09M occupancy gap.
