Captured vs Missed Revenue

The upside of a small budget increase
Recommended Actions
1

Maintain or modestly raise daily budget

Daily budget hit the cap only 1 day; missed revenue is just $129.81. The current $36 daily limit is well-sized. A modest lift to $40–$45 captures the small remaining gap without risk.

2

Capitalize on the strong conversion engine

Your 11.07% click-to-book conversion is roughly 2x the industry average. Adding bid enhancers for high-intent traveler segments (length-of-stay, check-in window) will multiply that strength.

3

Keep the Automated Market Tracker bidding

Average rank 2.04 and CPC $1.41 show the auto-bidder is winning premium placement at competitive cost. Keep it on.

4

Push GEX score from 77 toward 85+

Your Guest Experience Score is 77/100 — already healthy. Lifting it to 85+ improves auction quality multiplier, which compounds into lower CPC and higher rank over time.

AI Insights · Top 3 Recurring Complaints (April)

From Reputation Systems AI · sourced from 17 April reviews

2. Hotel feels dated · maintenance gaps

Multiple guests mention the property could use an update. Specific maintenance issues noted: mattresses needing to be flipped, bathroom light timer not working, TV going out, pool out of season.

"Friendly staff, rooms are a bit dated, third stay here in 6 months. Mattresses need to be flipped"
— Verified guest · April 2026 · Repeat customer → reply via Reputation Systems
"Hotel is dated and could use an update, but clean and comfortable!"
— James · Expedia · April 19, 2026 → open on Expedia

3. Pet-friendly clarity · listing misalignment

A guest drove 1h40min based on Expedia and the hotel website both indicating pet-friendly, only to discover otherwise on arrival. This is a marketing/listing fix, not a service issue.

"Awful customer service. Arrived after an hour and 40 minute drive from home for a holiday party in Davison. Booked through Expedia which specified hotel was pet friendly. Also on the hotel website, specifically this location said pet friendly with a dog icon..."
— Megan V. · Yelp → open on Yelp

Three concrete actions for the owner this month

1. Address front-desk service immediately — pull tape/logs from late-checkout incidents, retrain on de-escalation, and add a clear written late-checkout policy. 2. Tackle the top maintenance complaints — flip mattresses on the rotation it deserves, fix the bathroom light timer, and audit TVs in all rooms. 3. Lift response rate from 13% to 30%+ — start with the 8 urgent open tickets in Reputation Systems. Reviews that get a management reply have measurably higher follow-up satisfaction.
