Ongoing Costs

  • Hosting: $100-$500/month

  • Photography and video updates: $2,000-$10,000/year
  • Maintenance: $300-$1,000/month
  • SEO and content: $1,000-$5,000/month

ROI Consideration

OTA commissions typically run 15-25% per booking. If your property does $50,000/month through OTAs at 20% commission, that is $10,000/month in fees. Moving even 20% to direct bookings saves $24,000/year, often paying for the website in the first year.
