A 4.7β
boutique hotel in Prague had 30,000+ reviews on Booking.com β but only ~670 on Google. Guests clearly love them. But that trust is locked inside Booking.com (who take 15β25% per booking) and nearly invisible on Google, where new guests actually search "hotels in Prague." The fix isn't more marketing β it's moving a slice of that existing trust onto Google + their own site, toΒ capture direct bookings they're already earning. Most independents have this exact gap.
