Mmm.

Here are the words in the podcast. That's what comes next.

Hello, my name is Mark Simpson and I give hosts just like you the tools, the tactics, the training, but most importantly, the confidence to go and get more direct bookings. And in today's lesson, podcast video, whatever you want to call it. We're going to be talking about some big news from Google. So a couple of weeks ago they announced that they are going to be swapping and changing and revolutionizing their Google Hotel Ads program. For those of you who doesn't know Google Hotel ads, really simple. Go do a search on Google, look for your place on Google Business Listing and look at what appears. You'll normally see booking.com, expedia, TripAdvisor, et cetera, et cetera. And they pay to be listed on there. They pay per click or pay per whatever. Now there has been a case where US businesses can get in there, but it's very exclusive. You're either going to be a Google Hotel partner, which is very expensive, or you've got to do it via your PMS, free to book a vivo, zevo, etc. Now this is changing. Massive news. Everybody will be able to get a free link within there moving forward. So this is huge. Google Business Listing drives thousands upon thousands of traffic. First and foremost, if you haven't got a Google Business Listing, go and get one. It's free. If you need more help and guidance, just go check out the Boostly YouTube channel, type in Boostly YouTube, Google Business listing and I've got a step by step video that shows you how to set it up. But once you've got it, it's so ridiculously powerful, you don't even realize how many people actually see this. And now what you're able to do finally is have a clickable link to your website, to your booking engine in Google Business Listing in the Google Hotel Ad section. And it's free, it won't cost you a penny. But Google being Google and they love to make money, you can actually pay them to be ranked in the top three. Now the details are still scarce even at this point, but what I recommend for you to do is to check it out.
