Stop Paying OTA Commissions on Guests Who Already Want You

Direct Booking Starter is Zeevou’s website module for hosts and property managers who want a professional, branded direct booking website — without hiring a designer or developer. It gives you a custom domain, white-labelling, unlimited pages, SEO tools and multi-brand marketing, built for operators with 1–19 units who want stronger brand presence and more direct bookings. Moreover, if you need to run multiple websites for different properties, Zeevou’s got you covered with our extremely flexible multi-brand marketing capabilities.

When a guest finds you on Airbnb and then searches your name on Google, landing on your own branded website makes them significantly more likely to book directly. Without your own domain, that moment is lost. With Direct Booking Starter, you capture it.

Why Property Managers Choose Direct Booking Starter

Reduce OTA Dependency

Keep more revenue by converting OTA lookers into direct bookers.

Establish Instant Authority

A professional domain (e.g., StayWithUs.com) signals legitimacy and quality.

Own the Guest Relationship

Capture emails and guest data from the moment they land on your site.

Create a Strong SEO Foundation

Unlimited content + SEO tools help you rank where guests search.

You no longer need a WordPress site or a booking engine to deliver a seamless guest experience. Zeevou gives you full guest‑data ownership, built‑in SEO and a smooth direct‑booking experience to your guests — all without plugins or maintenance.

Direct Booking Starter as Your Short-Term Rental Website Builder

Use Direct Booking Starter to build and publish your branded vacation rental website under your own domain — completely separate from any OTA listing page. Create unlimited property pages for every unit you manage, publish local guides and custom landing pages, and grow your organic presence with unlimited blog posts. Because the website lives on your custom domain, your brand gets the credit every time a guest searches for your property or destination online. A built-in sitemap generator, SEO tools and multi-brand support give you the search foundation to rank for local, property-specific and destination keywords — without needing an SEO agency or developer.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm not a tech person. Can I still set this up?

Absolutely. While we offer Custom CSS/HTML for pros, our templates are designed to be “plug-and-play.” You can have a professional site live in hours, not weeks.

Is a custom domain really that important?

Yes. Studies show that guests often search for a property name on Google after finding it on an OTA. If they find a professional, branded website with your own domain, they are significantly more likely to book directly with you to save money.
