Reviews are the lifeblood of today's travel and accommodation industry. In the vacation rental market, uncertainty is not thrilling, but a potential vacation spoiler. Hence, travelers depend on others' reviews to guide their choices amidst the sea of options available.
Yet, if your property is listed across multiple online travel agencies (OTAs) and your own vacation rental website, having stellar reviews on only one platform could mean missing out on bookings and revenue.
Imagine this scenario: you have a slew of positive reviews on Vrbo and Airbnb, and you've just launched your own website to gain more control over your business. Despite having numerous genuine reviews on these popular platforms, potential guests browsing your website might not be aware of this and could opt for a competitor instead.
We're excited to introduce our recent integration with Revyoos, the ideal solution for property managers and owners who are committed to providing the best vacation rental experience but aren't reaping the expected results. With Revyoos, you can automatically compile reviews from various listing sites onto one digital platform, showcasing them on your direct booking website and building an impressive reputation.
Revyoos is the sole all-in-one review aggregator for vacation rentals. It enables hosts to gather reviews from OTAs (like Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo, and TripAdvisor) and platforms like Facebook. Reviews can be updated both automatically and manually, with the option to also request direct reviews from guests.
Property owners or managers with their own website can utilize the Revyoos widget, enhancing credibility, SEO, and direct bookings. They can analyze, filter, and monitor all past reviews to grasp trends and key issues within the business.
With Revyoos, you can showcase reviews on your RentalWise website as an expandable or embedded widget (or both!).
Expandable widget
Revyoos' expandable widget provides a preview of the overall review score and the number of reviews on a tab at the bottom of the website. Guests can click it to expand and get a more detailed view of the reviews.
Embedded widget
The embedded widget appears as a standalone page on the website, with a summary of the rating score on each channel.
The perks of using Revyoos with RentalWise include building your reputation, enhancing your SEO and Google ranking, increasing direct bookings, and tracking your performance.
According to a survey by BrightLocal, nearly 70% of consumers doubt the authenticity of reviews. With Revyoos, verified reviews from sources like Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, TripAdvisor, and Facebook are automatically collected and displayed on your website.
Using Revyoos can boost your Google clickthrough rate by 35%. The widget also enables you to display your star ratings and total number of reviews on Google's Search Engine Results page through a rich snippet, significantly increasing direct traffic to your RentalWise website.
Research by the Spiegel Research Center shows that having genuine and positive reviews on your website can elevate your conversion rate by 270%. The RentalWise-Revyoos integration aids in converting potential customers by establishing a trustworthy reputation for your business.
Revyoos allows you to filter, search, and analyze your reviews to gain a better understanding of your performance. By keeping track of both the good and the bad, you can identify patterns and areas for improvement.
Use your overall review score as a KPI and grow your business over time. Even if you stop using an OTA, Revyoos retains a backup copy of every review so that you can always access them.
Revyoos offers two customizable plans: Premium and Business. Both plans provide features like automated review collection, direct review requests, a property review widget, widget customization, a central dashboard, and a backup of all reviews. The Business Plan also includes rich snippets, a general review widget, massive property upload, and manual review uploads.
The price for each plan depends on the number of properties you have. To try it out, Revyoos offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
