That’s something large chain hotels can’t offer, and it needs to be described concretely in ad copy — the “boutique hotel” label alone isn’t persuasive enough. ## Visual content is decisive here When searching for a boutique hotel, users are buying a visual experience. Quality photography and [Instagram content](https://oguzerol.com/en/instagram-ads-specialist/) are a strong second channel complementing the search intent Google Ads catches. ## Direct booking is easier to justify at small scale At a small-room-count boutique hotel, each booking’s commission cost has a proportionally bigger impact. Brand-search defence and direct-booking incentives pay back fast even at small scale. **How do we start?** First we discuss your hotel’s character and current booking channels. You can reach me from the [contact page](https://oguzerol.com/en/contact/). ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is Google Hotel Ads worth it for a small hotel? Usually yes, especially if you can maintain price parity; setup cost should be judged against booking value, not room count. ### Should Instagram or Google Ads lead? They do different jobs; Google Ads catches users already searching, Instagram builds discovery and desire. Together they work better. ### Which conversion action should be measured? Direct booking; the real goal in this sector is raising bookings to your own site, not to an OTA.

Work-hour packages Tell me about your business and what you need on WhatsApp or by phone; we agree on **a work block of somewhere between 5 and 40 hours** and I start doing what is needed. What you get is not a calendar window — it is net working hours spent directly on your business. I can use 40 hours working three days straight, or deliberately spread it out and finish it over a year — whatever the work calls for. I do not spend my time estimating how long something will take, I spend it doing the work; every hour I spend leaves a lasting result in your business. We keep going for as long as you find it useful. WORK BLOCKS ## Why not monthly? Is 40 hours a week? On a fixed monthly fee both sides are watching the wrong thing: you watch a fixed cost, the other side watches how many more contracts like this they can line up. Working by the hour puts us both in front of the same thing — the real value of the work that got done. I know not having an upfront answer to "how much will this cost in total?" is the natural cost of this model. But instead of paying a fixed fee for months to a setup that is not producing results, you only pay for the qualified time spent on your work — and you see exactly where that time went, start to finish. That is why my clients keep coming back. 5hours300€ + VAT60€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%205-hour%20work%20block.) 10hours500€ + VAT50€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2010-hour%20work%20block.) 20hours800€ + VAT40€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2020-hour%20work%20block.) 40hours1,400€ + VAT35€ per hour[Choose this block](https://wa.me/905496546489?text=Hi%2C%20I%27d%20like%20info%20about%20the%2040-hour%20work%20block.)
