What is SHR Group?

Founded in 1987 | Headquarters in Houston (United States) | 201 employees
SHR Meta Search is a metasearch marketing platform designed to increase direct bookings for hotels. By connecting your booking engine with major metasearch channels such as Google Hotel Price Ads, Trivago, TripAdvisor, Bing Ads, Skyscanner, Kayak, and Wego, SHR Meta Search ensures your hotel appears at the top of search results. This visibility attracts travelers with genuine travel intent, effectively channeling high-quality traffic directly to your website. The platform is valuable in its ability to continuously monitor cost-per-click and hotel visibility, optimizing bid management to enhance performance. This targeted approach reduces reliance on online travel agencies (OTAs) and cuts down on commission costs. For hoteliers focused on maximizing revenue through direct bookings and improving overall visibility, SHR Meta Search seamlessly integrates into existing operations to provide actionable insights and measurable results.
