Tips to Get More Bookings (Super Important)
If you want more bookings, make it ridiculously easy for guests to see availability and book. Most people won’t “search” for the booking page, they’ll just leave.
Here are the best tips we’ve seen work:
1) Add a “Book now” button in your navbar (desktop + mobile)
- Add a clear Book now button in your top menu.
- On mobile, make it super visible (even better if it’s a sticky button).
- Link it either to:
- A dedicated Booking page where you embedded the form, or
- The booking form link directly.
2) Use more call-to-actions across the site (the more, the better)
Don’t keep booking only in one place. Add buttons in multiple spots, especially where guests are already convinced.
Good places to add CTAs:
- Homepage hero section
- Room pages / accommodation pages
- Pricing page
- “About” page (yes, people book from there too)
- Footer (on every page)
- Blog posts (at the end, and sometimes in the middle)
CTA examples you can use:
- Book now
- Check availability
- Join us
- See rooms
- Reserve your stay
3) Make “availability” the star of the show
Guests mainly want one thing: “Can I stay on my dates?”
So wherever you can, push them to check availability early.
If you embed the form:
- Place it high on the page (not hidden at the bottom).
- Keep the booking page clean and simple, no distractions.
4) Reduce friction
- Avoid too many clicks to reach the booking form.
- If possible, link CTAs directly to the booking page or booking link (not a “contact us” page).
