Launch Your Direct Booking Website — We Set It Up For You
Every booking through Airbnb or VRBO costs you 12-17% in platform fees. On a $200/night property running at 70% occupancy, that's thousands of dollars a year going to platforms instead of your pocket. A direct booking website changes that equation.
What You Get
- A ready-to-use booking website — Use our customizable template, add your own branding, or integrate with your existing site using our embeddable booking widget. No tech skills required.
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) — Every BnBNerd site is built with SEO best practices so guests searching for rentals in your area can find you directly on Google — not through an OTA.
- Real-time calendar sync — Your availability stays automatically synced across Airbnb, VRBO, Google Vacation Rentals, and your direct site. No double bookings, no manual updates.
- Mobile-first design — most guests browse and book on their phones, so your site is built to convert on every screen size.
The Billboard Effect
Guests discover your property on Airbnb, then search your name to book direct. A professional booking site captures those guests — and you keep 100% of the revenue.
Why Direct Booking Pays Off
- Every direct booking skips the 12–17% OTA fee — that margin stays with you instead of the platform
- Industry data shows the average direct booking is worth roughly twice an online-travel-agency reservation (about $1,900 vs. $900), because you control the pricing, length of stay, and add-ons
- A repeat guest who books direct costs you nothing in platform commission — your site turns a one-time OTA guest into a returning direct customer
