Travel feeds for Search is an update from Google which allows hoteliers to connect their hotel price feeds to their Paid Search ads, which means that hotel pricing can appear dynamically in paid search results, resulting in better qualified traffic to your website. Pricing in Paid Search ads is something that Triptease has been doing for years with our Price Preview feature, and allows guests to experience a more seamless experience from their initial search through to the booking engine.
