Officials of GCommerce, a leading, hospitality digital marketing agency, announced the launch of a new metasearch platform, Metadesk.
“Metasearch is quickly being categorized as a revenue management tool, and Metadesk is here to challenge that notion”
Metadesk is a software-driven experience designed to address known pain points and frustrations experienced by hoteliers regarding the management of their metasearch channels while leveraging GCommerce’s world class media management and optimization skills.
“Metasearch is quickly being categorized as a revenue management tool, and Metadesk is here to challenge that notion,” said Lindley Cotton, president & partner, GCommerce. “Metasearch advertising should be continually managed and optimized for top performance. The industry is desperate for new players; the technology should be easy and less cumbersome while utilizing performance based media techniques. Why can’t hoteliers expect both? With Metadesk, they can.”
