Google Examples, Why and Reports

Google Hotel Bookings links are links that direct users to a specific hotel’s booking page on a third-party website or even to your own website, through the Google search engine or Google Maps. These links allow users to easily find and book hotel rooms directly from Google (via the Booking Engine of a technical provider like MappingMaster for example), without having to navigate to the hotel’s website or another booking platform website. They can be used by hotels to promote their rooms and availability to potential guests directly.

Please see some real examples of Google Bookings Links integrated into the Google Business profile of some hotels and properties:
