Local SEO & Google Visibility Implementation

Corporate Booking Page & Client Acquisition System

Client Results

What Our Clients Say

My SA is completely sold out till this year end. All this is due to the hard work Piers and his team have put in behind the scenes with taking care of listings and consistently marketing it. I started with sparse bookings and had a bad time with another booking company based in UK. I could have never imagined a monthly booking until Piers stepped in and did his magic. Now I have months of consistent bookings and can focus to further expand my SA business else where.

Working with Piers and his team was a turning point for our serviced accommodation business. We had properties but lacked the right systems to scale properly. They helped us implement clear processes, strengthen our direct booking strategy, and position ourselves better for long-term stays. As a result, we’ve secured quality long-term bookings and now operate with far more structure and confidence. If you want to build a proper, systemised short-term rental business — not just chase bookings — I highly recommend them.

Working with Piers has been a game changer for our business. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and understands operations at a deep level, not just theory. Before working together, a lot of our processes were manual and founder led. Now we have proper systems, clean transitions, clear team structure, and everything runs through Slack efficiently. The business feels calmer, tighter, and actually built to scale whilst also increasing bookings. He didn’t just advise, he helped us operate like a real company. Would highly recommend to anyone serious about growing properly.

I was coached by Piers and his team when I had three Airbnb's and was looking at retrieving one, but I went through the 18 weeks coaching with Piers and we had a long term booking from a contractor. You get daily track of your Airbnb by his team, weekly calls of what has been done by Piers himself. He helped create a Google page and a website. You can choose to add a well trained VA which is covered in the 18 weeks program. I will definitely recommend him and you will definitely see the results.

Before working with Grow Your BnB I was getting plenty of enquiries but hardly converting them. My calendar was set up wrong, dates were blocked incorrectly and I didn’t understand how the platforms were reading my availability, so I kept turning guests away. They went through everything with me step by step and showed me how to manage it properly. Now I understand how to structure availability, control stay lengths and avoid gaps. I also have a clearer approach to longer stay enquiries instead of relying only on short bookings.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the course and Done For You?

The course teaches you the strategy and gives you everything you need to build your direct booking system yourself ideal if you want to understand the process, have time to implement, and prefer a hands-on approach. Done For You is for operators who want results without the learning curve. Our team handles everything from strategy to a live, converting website.

Do I need an existing SA business to join?

Not at all. Both the course and Done For You service are designed to work whether you’re just starting out or already operating. If you’re new, we’ll help you build the right foundations from day one. If you’re established, we’ll help you reduce OTA reliance and increase your direct revenue.

How long does the Done For You service take?

Most Done For You projects are fully delivered within 3–4 weeks from onboarding. The timeline can vary depending on the scope of your setup and how quickly we receive your property content and assets, but we work efficiently to get your direct booking business live as quickly as possible.

Will my direct booking website work alongside my OTA listings?

Absolutely. We don’t advise abandoning OTAs overnight. Your direct booking website runs alongside your Airbnb and Booking.com listings over time. As your direct channel grows, you naturally become less dependent on them. Many of our clients maintain OTA listings as a discovery channel while building their direct business as the primary revenue stream.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. The direct booking course is built for operators, not developers. Everything is explained in plain English with step-by-step implementation tasks. And with Done For You, our team handles all the technical build entirely, so you simply review and approve.

How do I know which option is right for me?
