Mews growth playbook

Publish the indicative 10-room monthly price for Core and Pro (per room, with what is included and the add-ons), exactly as the FAQ describes. Add a short estimator for small properties (rooms, properties, POS and payments yes or no) that shows a range at once and offers the demo with the estimate attached. Test it against the current page with the new campaign team.

Price is the first question every small owner asks, and a page that answers it converts paid search and comparison traffic that leaves today. AEs then start calls with a qualified, price-aware owner instead of explaining the model.

• Prices anchor larger deals too low

  Show the 10-room example only and route larger properties to sales.

• Rivals copy the figures

  Compete on included value; the IDC payback numbers stay the argument.

• Your websitePricing page: three plans (Mews Pro "MOST popular", Mews Core "For less complex properties", Enterprise), each with "Get pricing" or "talk to sales" and no figure. The FAQ says "Mews is priced on a per-room basis and the prices shown are indicative of a 10-room property", but no prices are shown. Getting a price means a form, then "We'll reach out to arrange a 30-minute chat with a Mews expert".

Add the page to the English sitemap and request indexing. Then strengthen it for US small hotels: a US customer who switched from Cloudbeds (use the "Previous PMS" filter), a section on payments and multi-currency in the US, and a link from the small hotels and independent hotels pages.

Comparison searches are the highest-intent traffic in PMS buying, and this page targets the most common head-to-head in the segment the US team is built for.

• Out-of-date rival claims

  Date the table and review quarterly.

Render each number once as plain text in the HTML and run the reel as decoration hidden from assistive technology (aria-hidden), with the real value in an accessible label. Apply it to the shared component so every page is fixed at once.

The numbers are Mews' best argument; they should survive every way the page is read or quoted.

• Animation changes

  Keep the visual exactly as it is.

• Your websiteHeadline numbers are built as rolling digit reels, so the served text reads as strings of digits: the pricing page shows "2 6 5 4 4 4 x increase in share of direct bookings" and the referral page "6 8 2 4 4 2 4 5 5 5 % 4 5 % Increase in direct bookings with Mews Booking Engine".Source

After the form, show a calendar with the right team (by country and property size) so the owner books the 30-minute call immediately; send a short video of Mews for small hotels while they wait.

Instant scheduling usually lifts show rates and speeds up the AE's two-demos-a-day rhythm.

• Unqualified bookings

  Use the form answers to route.

On every /compare page, show the matching switch stories (filtered by previous PMS), with time to go live and the result. Where a rival has no story yet, ask Customer Success for one.

Proof from a hotel that made the same move is the strongest answer to switching fear.

• Few stories for some rivals

  Use quotes until a full story exists.

• #2 Put the Mews vs Cloudbeds page in the English sitemap, and make it the US small-hotel comparison

Run search campaigns on "<rival> alternative", "<rival> vs" and "<rival> reviews" (no trademarked ad text), each landing on its comparison page with the new pricing and switch stories, and A/B test the page headline.

Competitor-intent clicks convert well when the landing page answers the comparison directly.

• High cost per click

  Cap bids and focus on "alternative" terms.

Build a one-page calculator the rep fills in from public data (rooms, rates, OTA share) that shows the yearly cost of the current setup and the Mews estimate. Send it as the second touch in sequences.

A number about the owner's own hotel gets replies a generic pitch does not.

Propose a member offer (onboarding credit, a member price on Core), speak at regional association events, and give the association a referral link under the existing $1,000 + $1,000 program.

One trusted association reaches thousands of the right owners at once, and peers vouching for Mews beats cold outreach.

• Long approval cycles

  Start with one regional chapter.

Each month, review won and lost deals by rival in Gong, update one competitor comparison and the matching comparison page, and send a one-page "what we heard" note to sales.

A monthly loop keeps positioning current and turns calls into public proof.

For each add-on, define the ideal customer, the trigger in their data (for example an F&B outlet with no Mews POS), a short in-product prompt, a webinar and a CSM play. Track attach by segment monthly.

Selling a second product to a happy customer costs far less than a new hotel.
