You're now able to have a link to your NightsBridge booking form added to your Google Hotels or Google Vacation Rentals listing.

This connection means when a guest searches for you on Google Hotels or Google Vacation Rentals they will be able to check your rates and availability (alongside the other OTAs) and your property lisiting will have an 'official site' badge. There will be a link to your booking form where guests can book directly with you.

There is no charge for this connection and it will bring you more commission-free direct bookings.
