Bell - AI powered product analyst
I analyzed all of SHR Group’s product reviews, expert recommendations, features, capabilities, pricing, integrations and more to produce the below summary.
Hoteliers say
Hoteliers like Avvio's advanced functionality and user-friendly interface, highlighting its deep CRM capabilities, comprehensive reporting, and innovative features. The system helps drive direct bookings, significantly increasing revenue while reducing dependence on OTAs. Users appreciate the proactive support in optimizing SEO and PPC campaigns, which enhance visibility and overall performance. However, some request more flexibility in customization and streamlined integration processes to further improve efficiency.
Partners say
Industry experts recommend Avvio for its AI-powered booking engine, which excels in direct booking conversions and personalized customer experiences. Its digital marketing and web design services are equally impressive, driving revenue growth through targeted campaigns and user-friendly interfaces. Avvio's seamless integration with other systems and robust support are also standout features. However, some critiques note the complexity of setup, occasional slow response times, and high costs associated with advanced features.

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.

While its important to incorporate analysis from verified user reviews and industry experts to create more balanced content, the way a vendor describes their overall company and vision can also shed light on their unique perspective or way of doing business which is why the AI ingests this information as well to add more context to paint a picture of what the company says vs what users and industry experts say.
SHR Group's Provided Description:
"Make your brand visible across all platforms (including Google Hotel Price Ads, Trivago, TripAdvisor, Bing Ads, Skyscanner, Kayak and Wego) with continuous monitoring of cost per click and hotel visibility using our experienced bid management and optimization techniques. With continuous monitoring of cost-per-click and hotel visibility we will connect your booking engine with seven metasearch channels. By displaying your hotel at the top of search results pages we can drive the majority of your metasearch revenue, increasing your direct bookings and channel shift, whilst reducing your commission costs. As you only pay for direct clicks you will be targeting people with real travel intent and will prevent your booking going straight to prominent OTAs instead."
