Judah Swagerty • Nov 26, 2020

Are you currently crushin' it with your vacation rental business and you're looking to take it to the next level? Maybe you're a newbie just getting started and you're wondering what's the best website builder for your vacation rentals? 

Well, you've come to the right place! 

In this article I will explain why going with our bnb SiteBuilder is the best option for you and our journey to offer the best overall experience for hosts and hoteliers alike.

In 2019 when we launched our brand marketing agency, for vacation rental and property management companies, we set out with the goal to help as many hosts, managers, and hoteliers scale their businesses with their very own responsive direct booking website. 

At the time we were using WordPress and we quickly found out that the platform was hard for clients to troubleshoot, and it made it very difficult for us to streamline our own business. These were just some of the reasons why we launched our cloud-based website builder platform one year later.

Please keep in mind that having your own website doesn't mean you'll experience an increase in bookings. You have to work it! It's going to take optimizing your site weekly and using white-hat SEO strategies to make sure your website is ranking in search engines for your relevant keywords. 

Just keep reading and you'll soon discover why our responsive bnb SIteBuilder platform, powered by bnb AMPLIFY, is a better solution for your vacation rental business.

Did I mention you get access to a dedicated team?


Besides the on-page SEO, there is an option for you to have your dedicated team conduct off-page SEO for your vacation rental business.

4. Personalize Guest Experiences When They Arrive at Your Website.

How does it work?


You can drive more conversions and sales when setting up website personalization on your direct booking website. This will boost your engagement with features customized ads and unique experiences triggered by date, time, and visitor location.


Let me explain...


Personalization rules work on a system of triggers and actions just as I just stated above. When the conditions of a trigger are met, an action of some kind will occur that personalizes your website for that potential guest visiting the site.


What actions can be triggered?


Good question!


The list of actions that can be triggered on your direct booking website is literally endless. You can: display a popup that promotes a last minute accommodation, features a signup form for lead capturing, invites feedback for better guest experiences, etc.


You can also display a notification bar at the top of your website announcing a special event or promotion. We give you the ability to add special effects such as falling hearts or snowflakes to make your direct booking website more fun or festive for certain times of the year or occasion.


Not to mention you can add new content that contains text, images, buttons, and custom HTML coding. Execute your own JavaScript code and create a custom action! You get the whole kitchen sink! :)


5. Fast Page Speed Loading Times That Will Keep Google and Your Visitors Happy.


Google is raising the bar for website owners and forcing them to pay close attention to the entire functionality of their websites. This means direct booking website owners will need to optimize their sites for best practices as it relates to entire website performance.


A big huge part of your website performing well is not directly related to what you're doing, but rather the framework of the system that your direct booking website is built and hosted on. We understand this and we leave no stones unturned!

Our team of developers are continuously working to make sure our platform's framework is listening to Google and making sure our sites are performing well. We take this seriously and this is why our websites load fast on both mobile and desktop, allowing for a better visitor experience while at your website.

We're also keeping Google happy... which means your website appearing in higher search results above those sites built and hosted on poor performing platforms.

Google will soon be penalizing sites who aren't performing well as it relates to the platform that your website is built and hosted on. You can do a test to see how your website is performing and how Google is measuring your sites performance.


Go to: Google Page Speed Insights 
- Enter your website's URL
- Wait for Google to process your website
- Check your site's performance

If your direct booking website isn't performing well, this isn't necessarily your fault! Most likely your site's platform isn't structured properly and you may need to contact your current service provider. You could also reach out to us to see how we can help!

We are working to keep our sites performing at optimal levels. This means making sure our platform is sound and bulletproof, with a special attention placed on our mobile infrastructure moving forward.
