Estimate based on an average 18% commission and a 30% shift of OTA bookings to the direct channel over 12 months — consistent with industry benchmarks and with the results Alessandro and Salvatore have achieved on comparable properties. Indipendo cost calculated at €799/month. We’ll redo the math together on your real revenue during the call.

Questions

What we get asked most often.

How much Google budget should I plan on top of the fee?

For an urban 3★ boutique hotel we recommend a Google budget between €300 and €800 a month, depending on seasonality and on how much search traffic your hotel’s name gets. High-season months trend toward the top of the range, quiet months toward the bottom. You pay it directly to Google, it never passes through us: you have full access to the account, and on the call we estimate the right figure together, based on the real traffic your name gets today.

Is Indipendo really just €799 a month? Where’s the catch?

There isn’t one. The flat fee is the price of the service. The Google ad budget — the money that turns into guest clicks — is on the hotel and you pay it directly to Google: it never passes through us. The architecture is deliberately transparent: our revenue is the flat fee only, never a cut of what you spend on ads. Which also means we have no incentive to make you spend more than necessary.

Do I have to leave Booking to work with you?

No. Indipendo doesn’t ask you to close your Booking channel — that would actually work against you. Booking is useful for reaching new guests who don’t know you yet. The goal is to lower Booking’s share of your total, not to zero it out: going from 60-70% Booking to 40-50% in twelve months is already a huge result for your bottom line. Booking and direct bookings coexist — it’s the ratio that changes.

What if it doesn’t work?

Cancel with 30 days’ notice and pay only the current month. You export all your data: photos, copy, contacts, content. No penalties, and no arguing over "what counts as working".

My property is small — 20-30 rooms — does it still work?

Yes — it’s actually the ideal size. Indipendo is built for independent 3-4★ boutique hotels, typically 25-80 rooms. Below 20 rooms, search volume on your hotel’s name gets too low for the ad campaigns to be efficient — and if that’s your case, we tell you straight away on the call instead of having you sign. Honesty first.
