Direct bookings, at the rate you set, with the photographs you chose, and no commission on the guest who searched your name.
A guest who has already decided on your place and types its name into Google should not have to book through a platform that takes a fifth of the night.
Clay gives the villa a page: your photographs, the rooms, what is included, where it is, and a calendar people can book against. It costs nothing to have and there is no cut on what comes through it.
Fifteen per cent of a €1,200 week is €180. On four weeks a season that is a year of a paid plan several times over, and every booking after that is clear.
This is not an argument against being listed, listings bring people who have never heard of you. It is an argument for having somewhere to send the ones who have.
Your Google photographs come across, get graded and cropped, and the best one opens the page. Add your own and the same happens to them.
Below them: what is included, the check-in times, the house rules, and a map that opens in the guest's own maps app.
Rates per night, a minimum stay, and dates that are already gone shown as gone.
Name a percentage or a fixed amount and it is worked out as they pick the dates, agreed before they book and settled with you, on arrival, or however you already take it.
The ones on your Google listing, on the page, where they do the most work.
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
Type your name, Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.
Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap, no code, no templates to wrestle.
Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.
Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot, so what you see is what it looks like right now.
No, there is no channel manager or iCal sync yet, so if you are listed elsewhere you have to keep this calendar honest yourself. For a single villa that is usually a minute a week.
Yes, a deposit is stated on the booking and printed in both confirmations. You settle it, and the rest, however you normally do; nothing is charged on the site.
Each property gets its own site, with its own address and its own calendar. Extra sites are on a paid plan.
Mostly by searching the name they saw on a listing site. That is the whole point of having your own page: it catches the ones who have already decided.
Not yet, there is one nightly rate and a minimum stay. Seasonal pricing is on the list.
Both on the page and in the confirmation email, the email is the one that matters, because it is what a guest has open on the morning they arrive.
Not as a separate line. Set the nightly rate so it covers what you need, or take the extra on arrival the way you already do.
