The Namibia-based company is specialized in managing and optimizing the entire digital presence and marketing for hotels, lodges, guesthouses, and tour operators located in Southern Africa. TrustYou's guest feedback platform and all of its features are now seamlessly included into the "5 Stages of Digital Success" program that rainmaker digital offers its clients. The partnership between rainmaker and TrustYou will assist hotels to: actively manage their reputation; optimize their digital presence and gain a higher online visibility; increase website traffic through Google to enhancing direct bookings; and ultimately achieve a better occupancy, translating into higher revenue and an improved ADR, RevPar, and EBIT.

We are excited that we can change and improve the hospitality landscape on scale in Southern Africa together with TrustYou."

Rainmaker digital integrates TrustYou's Meta-Reviews, TrustScore widgets, and API data into its hotels' websites to showcase the online reputation and create transparency that leads to more direct bookings. Furthermore, it utilizes TrustYou's platform features to actively collect guest surveys, analyze and manage reviews from all sources, and improve the overall scores and performances. Thereby, hotels can immediately identify areas for improvement or necessary investments in order to guarantee maximum guest satisfaction and high scores across the web.
