Consulting
Services
Leistentritt advises hotels and holiday rentals on direct bookings, OTA strategy, pricing and digital visibility.
Matthias Leistentritt helps hotels and holiday rentals develop distribution, direct bookings, pricing and digital visibility with a clear commercial focus. The aim is to align these areas so decisions become clearer and practical, commercially sound measures can be put into place.
The right priorities depend on the type of property, demand, existing sales channels and available resources. That is why the collaboration starts with an analysis of the current situation, not with an off-the-shelf solution.
Many properties work with systems that have grown organically over time, were never selected deliberately or no longer fit day-to-day operations. Part of the consulting therefore consists of assessing existing systems and, where necessary, identifying alternatives that fit the property better.
Recommendations are not shaped by commissions or partner programmes. They are based on operational requirements, the structure of distribution and what makes commercial sense for the property.

What Leistentritt specifically offers
Booking engine optimisation (BEO) and direct bookings
The booking journey, offer presentation and technical setup are reviewed and refined to better support direct bookings.
Booking platforms and Online Travel Agencies (OTAs)
OTAs such as Booking.com and Expedia are reviewed and managed strategically, so their role in distribution supports the property's commercial position.
Pricing and offers
Pricing structure, demand, guest segments, booking windows and offers are aligned with the property and its distribution setup.
Digital visibility and online presence
Website, content, platform profiles, reviews and relevant channels are reviewed so the property is easier to find, understand and compare online.
Process
How the collaboration works
- Analysis
Analyse the current situation
The first step is to review how distribution, pricing, online presence and existing sales channels currently work together and where action is needed.
- Priorities
Define priorities
From there, the topics with the greatest commercial relevance and the clearest operational path are prioritised.
- Implementation
Support implementation
The next step is to define specific measures and support their implementation directly with the property.
Services
Experience with systems and platforms
Depending on the property, property management systems (PMS), booking engines, channel managers, customer relationship management (CRM) systems, revenue-management tools and distribution channels may all play a role. Leistentritt helps assess and select these systems for the specific property and connect them to distribution, pricing and growth in direct bookings.
