Watch the webinar here

We’ll start by looking back at the history of metasearch and how the technology has evolved and developed. TripAdvisor is used as a good example of how metasearch really got going. We talk through how they fixed the drop-off problem for customers going to book on mobile and optimised the whole click-click-book experience.
We then compare the two assisted booking engines – Google and TripAdvisor before giving you some important information on the pros and cons of assisted booking engines.

Plus, all this…

  • How metasearch can improve conversion rates
  • Paid as Commission versus CPC and its impact on your budget
  • When not to use metasearch
