What we measure
To help you maximize revenue production in our marketplace, we measure:
- Visibility: Reveals how visible your property is on Expedia Group sites by reporting the number of times a traveler clicked through to view your property detail page.
- Conversion: Surfaces the ratio of transactions to views of your property detail page, allowing you to understand how well your property converts travelers into guests with booked rooms.
- Guest value: Shows the average room revenue generated by guests as compared to the year prior and against the performance of your comp set.
“Expedia Group has their hand on the pulse of the market, and they have fantastic technology. The reporting and insights they share with us as partners is really the best out there from an OTA standpoint.”
