What is the business model of Hotel Metasearch Engines?
Metasearch engines and OTAs are two distinct business models, but they both have the common goal of increasing online visibility and bookings. Metasearch engines are a cost-effective way of promoting your brand. You do not have to pay high commission rates because they have a pay-per-click model that they follow.
Typical cost models for hotel metasearch engines include the following:
- Cost Per Click (CPC)
- Cost Per Impression (CPI)
- Cost Per Action (CPA)
- Pay Per Stay (PPS)
