Overview
Boostly helps short-term rental owners increase direct bookings by designing custom WordPress websites for vacation rentals that sync with property management systems (PMS) to automatically update listings, availability, and rates, enabling guests to book directly. The product combines a one-time website setup with a monthly subscription that includes access to the Boostly Academy, an online training platform offering digital marketing, SEO, and social media strategies, plus community support and group coaching. Boostly differentiates itself by pairing technical website and PMS integration with ongoing coaching and training, rather than just software, to reduce clients’ reliance on OTAs and empower hosts to run a sustainable, direct-booking-focused business.
