The real problem

A high ROAS can still hide expensive mistakes.

Hotel accounts often blend branded searches, non-brand demand, booking-engine revenue, calls, wedding enquiries, restaurant actions, and micro-conversions into one impressive number.

1

Did paid media create demand?

Or did it claim credit for guests already headed to your hotel?

2

Where should the next dollar go?

Rooms, groups, catering, events, brand defence, or a need period?

3

Can finance reconcile it?

Reported value should connect to booked, cancelled, and stayed revenue.

12-point diagnostic

Find the leaks before increasing spend.

Score each control from 0 (unknown) to 3 (verified and documented). Your three lowest areas become the first diagnostic workstream.

1. Every primary Google Ads conversion maps to a real commercial outcome—not a page view or micro-action.

2. Booking values reconcile to the booking engine or PMS and account for cancellations or refunds.

3. Brand and non-brand demand are reported separately.

4. Search and Performance Max have distinct roles, controls, and success criteria.

5. Budgets and offers respond to need dates, forecast demand, and seasonality.

6. Direct-booking acquisition cost is compared with OTA and other channel costs.

7. Rooms, groups, meetings, weddings, catering, restaurants, and other revenue centres are measured separately where relevant.

8. Event and group enquiries are qualified, routed, and answered within an agreed service level.

9. Paid landing paths explain the direct-booking benefit and minimize booking friction.

10. Search terms, negatives, locations, and audiences are reviewed on a documented cadence.

11. Management can see spend, booked value, stayed or cancelled value, qualified pipeline, and channel contribution.

12. Every budget increase has a hypothesis, guardrail, and post-test decision rule.

FAQ

Questions hotel teams ask first.

Our brand already runs Google Ads. Can Bora help?

Yes, if the property or ownership group controls a local budget or programme. Bora can isolate one property, need period, or ancillary revenue line without replacing the entire brand programme.

Is the 42.55× result incremental revenue?

No such claim is being made. It is Google Ads platform-attributed conversion value. Bora begins by separating brand demand, conversion actions, and source-system values so the hotel knows what is credible.

Do you need access before the scorecard?

No. The scorecard is self-assessed. Read-only access is requested only for a qualified diagnostic.

Who owns the accounts and data?

The client does. Bora works inside client-owned accounts and leaves the measurement, campaign structure, and learnings with the hotel.

Before you increase hotel ad spend, find out which value you can trust.
