Visual guides for hotel owners, GMs and revenue teams deciding when Expedia, Booking, Google, Meta and OTA advertising should get budget — and when they should not.
Every guide below follows the same sequence, because doing them out of order is how budget gets spent on the wrong channel.
Start with dates, occupancy, traveler intent, and channel gaps before deciding where to spend.
Use Expedia, Booking, Google, or Meta only when the channel has a clear job and budget limit.
Judge the channel by booked revenue, room nights, ROAS, and whether it helped the right stay dates.
Each guide explains what the platform does, how visibility is earned, what changes near the top of search, and how the decision gets reported afterwards.
