Our friends (and former contributors) at Seattle-based BrandVerity produced an infographic showing that the average hotel brand is losing 26,500 website visitors on direct web traffic each month, leading to a real loss in revenue as these bookings are made elsewhere. Their findings are based on the information found in the hotel selection of their quarterly report on The State of Branded Keywords in Paid Search.
The report assesses the paid search landscape on branded keywords of over 250 consumer-facing brands. Looking at Q1 2015, it found that trademark bidding has cost the typical brand tens of thousands of visitors each month. The full report is available for download today at https://www.brandverity.com/branded-keywords/.
