increase in direct bookings

After a new website and local SEO system, Chef Joshua's Coastal Kitchen saw direct bookings increase by 70% within 90 days of launch.

The challenge

Sound familiar?

  • ✕

    You're paying 15–20% commission on every single booking to OTA platforms

  • ✕

    Your website exists but generates almost no direct enquiries

  • ✕

    You rely heavily on word of mouth and repeat guests

  • ✕

    Competitors appear before you on Google even for searches that mention Watamu

  • ✕

    You post on Instagram and Facebook but it doesn't translate to reservations

  • ✕

    Tourists find you via Booking.com — not directly through your own brand

Before working with Wanje, we were posting every day and getting likes — but zero bookings from it. Within 90 days of launching our new website and funnel, our direct bookings increased by 70%.

Common questions

How long before I start seeing more direct bookings?+
Most clients see measurable improvements in enquiry volume within 60–90 days of launch. SEO builds over 3–6 months, but a strong website and Google profile start working immediately.
Can you integrate with my existing booking system?+
Yes. Whether you use Beds24, Little Hotelier, a custom WhatsApp system or a simple email enquiry setup — I build around what already works for your operation.
What does it cost?+
Hotel packages start from KES 30,000 for a website and SEO foundation. Full digital systems with ongoing management are available from KES 45,000/month. Every engagement starts with a free audit call.
Do you only work with hotels in Watamu?+
I focus on the Kenyan coast — Watamu, Malindi, Kilifi and Mombasa. My in-depth knowledge of this market is what makes my strategies effective for coastal hospitality businesses.
