Why travel businesses choose TypeHero over Profound
Focused on travel
Profound takes a one-size-fits-all approach, with travel as one solution page. TypeHero was built for travel from day one, with travel topics, travel sources, and travel buyers.
It does the work, not just the report
Knowing you are missing from AI engines is the first step. TypeHero writes the content that fixes it, in your voice, and publishes it for you.
Travel intelligence in every piece
The Brand Brain layers general travel knowledge, rules for your sub-vertical, such as hotels or tours, and your own business details into everything TypeHero writes.
Google and AI, together
Travelers search Google and ask AI engines when they plan a trip. TypeHero gives both equal weight in every scan and every piece.

// THE REVENUE CASE
Maximize profitability by not paying commission to OTAs
OTAs typically take 15 to 25% of every booking. Learn how much you save in OTA commission when more of your bookings come to your own website.
Your numbers
Commission not paid
$18,360per year
That is $1,530 a month. Of your 340 monthly bookings, 187 come through OTAs. Converting 34 of them to direct bookings means you don't pay commission on those.
An example using your numbers. A typical 30-room independent hotel takes about 340 bookings a month, with about 55% through OTAs. Hotel OTAs usually charge 15 to 25% commission, and tour OTAs 20 to 30%. Your results depend on your market, your rates, and the content you publish, and visibility builds month over month, not overnight.
