# Book From Owner

> Direct booking growth services for small accommodation businesses across Australia.

## About

Book From Owner helps accommodation providers — hotels, motels, B&Bs, holiday rentals, and caravan parks — capture direct bookings and reduce dependence on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Airbnb, Booking.com, and Expedia.

We build direct booking systems, not just websites. Every property we work with gets a conversion-optimised booking path, local SEO, AI discoverability, and ongoing growth support.

## The Problem We Solve

OTAs charge 15-20% commission on every booking. Research shows 18% of travellers who find a property on an OTA will then search for it directly before booking. These are high-intent guests actively trying to book direct — they just need a clear, trustworthy path to do it.

Book From Owner builds that path.
