Measuring it tells you which channel brings guests, at which step people drop off and which campaigns pay off. Without measuring it, you decide blind.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why does my analytics report 0 conversions if I have bookings?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Analytics reports 0 conversions when nobody has defined the conversion events, or when the booking closes on an external domain without cross-domain measurement. The bookings exist, but the tool cannot see them because nobody told it what to look for or where.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How do you measure a booking if the engine is on another domain?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"You measure it by installing a tag container inside the booking engine itself and connecting it cross-domain with the hotel website. That records the full funnel, including the booking with its value, even though the payment happens outside your domain.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is cross-domain measurement and why does it matter for a hotel?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Cross-domain measurement stitches two domains into a single user journey. It matters because without it, when someone moves from the hotel website to the booking engine, analytics counts two separate visits and loses the trail of the sale.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the difference between an intent event and a real booking?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"An intent event is a signal that someone wants to book: a Book now click or a phone click. A real booking is the completed purchase, with its value. Mixing them inflates results and leads to the wrong decisions.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Consent Mode v2 and how does it affect measurement?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Consent Mode v2 aligns measurement with each user's cookie decision. It matters because if consent is not passed correctly to analytics, data is flagged as denied and lost, even when the user accepted.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Does measuring the funnel help win direct bookings against the OTAs?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Yes. Only with a measured funnel can you calculate the acquisition cost of a direct booking and compare it with an OTA commission. Without that number you cannot decide how much to invest in your own channel or prove that it is more profitable.\"}}]}"},"categories":[59,268,123,30],"class_list":["post-73474","caso-de-exito","type-caso-de-exito","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analitica-digital","category-analytics","category-tourism","category-turismo"],"acf":{"nombre_caso_de_exito":"Independent hotel group (anonymised case)","titulo_caso_de_exito":"","descripcion_corta_caso":"","kpi_destacado_texto":"425","kpi_destacado_numero":"Bookings measured per month","kpis_del_caso":[{"titulo_del_kpi_caso":"425","descripcion_del_kpi_caso":"Bookings a month measured with revenue"},{"titulo_del_kpi_caso":"+3,000","descripcion_del_kpi_caso":"Intent events a month, up from zero"},{"titulo_del_kpi_caso":"9 stages","descripcion_del_kpi_caso":"From availability search to payment"},{"titulo_del_kpi_caso":"GDPR","descripcion_del_kpi_caso":"Compliant measurement with Consent Mode v2"}],"logo_del_cliente_caso":null,"logo_negativo_del_cliente":null,"descripcion_del_cliente_caso":"

An independent hotel group<\/strong> with several properties in Spain, selling every day with no visibility over its hotel booking funnel. The case is anonymised at the client's request.<\/p>\n

Its website gets traffic, ranks well and sells every day. But the booking is not closed on the website: it is closed in an external booking engine hosted on a different domain<\/strong>. That detail, which looks like technical plumbing, was the reason the business could not see a single booking in its reports.<\/p>\n

cronuts.digital came in as strategic partner for analytics and measurement. We had already worked on its visibility in search engines and AI engines: SEO and GEO audit for hotels<\/a>.<\/p>","imagen_2_del_cliente":null,"el_reto_caso":"

Analytics reported 0 conversions<\/strong> while bookings came in every single day. The end of the funnel, where the money is closed, was invisible.<\/p>\n

Opening the account, we found four faults, and none of them was minor.<\/p>\n
