Ce que sont les metasearch et comment ils fonctionnent : tout ce que vous devez savoir

📲 Métamoteurs de recherche, tels que Google Travel, Trivago, et Tripadvisor, agrègent les offres de chambres d'hôtels et de vols de différents sites pour faciliter les comparaisons de prix. Ces plateformes redirigent les utilisateurs vers les sites d'origine pour les réservations, contrairement aux OTA qui permettent de réserver directement. Les revenus des métamoteurs proviennent du coût par clic (CPC), coût par impression (CPI), ou commissions sur réservations. Les établissements peuvent utiliser métamoteurs pour attirer les réservations directes, souvent via des logiciels comme Zak de WuBook, permettant une meilleure visibilité et des ventes optimisées.
