Run search campaigns against the bookings they produce.

People searching for your town are already deciding.

Connect Google Ads and ProhostAI can monitor and adjust campaigns, with visibility of which ones produced real stays rather than only clicks.

integrationsPage.detail.overview

Search advertising suits rentals better than most paid channels because the intent is explicit. Somebody typing "cottage near Whitby with hot tub" has already decided to book something; the only question is whose.

It is also expensive and easy to waste. Broad match will happily spend a budget on people researching a holiday for next year, and brand terms can look like brilliant performance while buying traffic you would have had anyway.

Connecting Google Ads alongside your reservations lets spend be measured against stays rather than clicks. That comparison usually reorders which campaigns look worth keeping, and it is the number that decides whether direct booking is actually cheaper than commission.

The honest benchmark is the OTA fee. If acquiring a direct booking costs more than the commission you avoided, the campaign is a loss dressed up as independence — and that calculation is only possible when both numbers are visible together.

The benchmark that matters is the OTA commission you avoided. Acquisition costing more than that is a loss.

Brand terms often flatter performance by buying traffic you would have received anyway.

You need appropriate access to the Google Ads account.

Revoking ProhostAI in your Google account settings ends access immediately.

integrationsPage.detail.faqTitle

Compare acquisition cost per direct booking against the OTA commission you avoided. If it costs more, the campaign is a loss dressed up as independence.

Cautiously. Brand terms often look like excellent performance while buying traffic that would have arrived anyway.

Connecting reservations alongside ads is what makes that possible, and it usually reorders which campaigns look worth keeping.

Where you allow it — pausing, resuming and adjusting. Whether to automate that is worth deciding deliberately.

Open Settings → Connections in ProhostAI and disconnect it, or remove ProhostAI from your Google account settings.
