Direct Booking Analytics Performance vocabulary

• Conversion Rate — The % of site visitors who actually book. Vacation rentals average ~2% — lifting it even 1 point can double your direct revenue without spending a cent more on traffic.
• GA4 (Google Analytics 4) — Free, event-based tracking for your booking site. Shows traffic sources, engagement and booking events so you stop guessing and start deciding with data.
• Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) — Marketing spend ÷ new bookings. Spend €300 and get 10 bookings = €30 CAC — far cheaper than the €60-90 an OTA takes on a €450 stay.
• Booking Channel Mix — The share of stays from your own site vs Airbnb/Booking.com. Every point you shift to direct keeps the 15-20% OTA fee in your pocket.
• Engagement & Bounce Rate — Whether visitors explore or leave in seconds. A high bounce on your landing page means fix the photos, price clarity or load speed before buying more ads.
• Traffic Source Attribution — Knowing if guests arrive from Google, social or email. Double down on the channel that converts and cut spend on the one that does not.
• Conversion Goal / Event Tracking — Tag the "Book Now" click and the confirmation page so you can prove which campaign earned the booking — the foundation of profitable, OTA-free growth.
