Can I show more OTAs on my Price Check widget?

This article explains how to add more OTAs (Online Travel Agents) to your Price Check widget, and what needs to be in place for an OTA to appear.

Overview

Yes, you can, and showing as many OTAs as possible is recommended. Triptease testing has found that hotels displaying more OTAs in Price Check see higher conversion rates. Price Check gets its OTA prices mainly from the OTAs advertising on your hotel’s Google listing, so selecting an OTA in your settings is only one of two requirements for it to appear.

How to add more OTAs to Price Check

  1. In the Triptease platform, click the Settings icon in the left-hand menu.

  2. Click Property settings and select your hotel to open its Hotel Profile.

  3. Click Parity.

  4. In Configure OTAs, tick the OTAs you want to track and add the link to your hotel’s page on the OTAs that a URL is required.

  5. Click Save.

What needs to be in place for an OTA to appear

For an OTA to show in Price Check, both of these must be true:

  • The OTA is selected in your Parity settings.

  • The OTA is advertising on your hotel’s Google listing, which requires a Google Business Profile.

If your hotel has no Google Business Profile, or no OTAs are bidding on it, Price Check has no OTA prices to compare against and won’t show. In that case, contact your Customer Success Manager.

Common questions

Q: I’ve ticked an OTA in my settings, but it doesn’t appear in Price Check. Why?
A: The OTA also needs to be advertising on your hotel’s Google listing. If it isn’t bidding on Google Hotel Ads for your hotel, Price Check has no price from that OTA to display.

Q: Why isn’t my Price Check widget showing at all?
A: The most common reason is that your hotel has no Google Business Profile, or no OTAs are advertising on it, so there are no OTA prices to compare. In that case, contact your Customer Success Manager.

Q: Can I choose which OTAs advertise on my Google listing?
A: No. Each OTA decides for itself whether to bid on your hotel in Google Hotel Ads, and neither you nor Triptease controls this.

Q: Do I need to email Triptease to change my OTAs?
A: No. You can change your OTAs yourself in Hotel Profile → Parity. Contact customersuccess@triptease.com if you can’t see the option or need help.
