Where the guest lands

Section titled “Where the guest lands”

Google starts the booking flow by forwarding the guest to the Wink Booking Engine on book.wink.travel, fully in your branding, with your own GA4, Tag Manager and tracking pixels. The guest arrives with dates, guests, currency and language already filled in. Google traffic does not land on your own domain or on a third-party booking engine.

Wink does not offer a Google feed on its own. We feed Google only where the booking completes on the Wink Booking Engine, because controlling the checkout is how we guarantee that the price Google shows is the price the guest pays.

Keep the Google price accurate

Section titled “Keep the Google price accurate”
  • Keep rates and availability current, in the Extranet or through your channel manager.
  • Include every mandatory fee and tax in the rate, so the price on Google equals the total at checkout.
  • Wink holds your official site badge. Switch off any other provider that also holds it for your property.
