OwnerRez has partnered with Google Hotels (Private Beta) and Google Vacation Rentals (GVR) to provide a channel integration connection between the two systems. This allows OwnerRez users to handle their Google Hotels or GVR listings and bookings efficiently.
Unlike Airbnb and Vrbo, Google Hotels and GVR do not host a live booking engine; instead, they display your property listing information from OwnerRez on Google Hotels or GVR. All booking traffic from your Google Hotels and GVR listing is directed to your OwnerRez Hosted Website or Global Landing Page (aka Public Booking Link) for commission-free bookings.
Users can expect a delay of 2+ weeks before their properties go live on Google Hotels and Google Vacation Rentals due to Google's manual onboarding process.
Millions of people worldwide use Google each day to plan their travels. Google Hotels and Google Vacation Rentals (GVR) are game-changers in the vacation rental industry because nearly every traveler visits Google at some point in their planning process. Guests rely on Google to research accommodations, share listings with their travel companions, and book their ideal lodging.
Integrating your property on Google Hotels and GVR is an additional tool that can help generate direct bookings.
When your GVR listing appears in search results, the number of clicks it takes for a potential customer to find your property and book is reduced. Reducing the number of clicks required to book your property reduces friction and increases bookings. As a rental owner or property manager, you can gain unparalleled exposure for your listings, connect directly with potential guests, and drive more direct bookings.
