Simplifying Mobile Bookings: New Stay22 Map Button

Written by Kyle Brouse | Dec 05, 2024

Booking through the Stay22 map just got a major upgrade.

 

We’ve introduced a new button to our Map, a sleek call-to-action designed to make booking faster and simpler—especially for mobile users. With more travelers engaging on their phones, this update is all about creating a smoother, more intuitive experience.


What You Can Expect


Boosted Conversions

The button helps users find and book accommodations in fewer steps, making it easier for them to complete their booking journey—especially on mobile.

 

Effortless Usability

One tap is all it takes to explore and book accommodations. By reducing the clicks and effort needed, the button provides a seamless experience for users, no matter their device.

 

Modernized UX

We’ve designed the button with a polished, user-friendly interface that feels natural and familiar. Think Airbnb or Google Maps—it’s a booking experience your users will love.

 


Why It Matters

This update addresses a challenge: keeping the booking process simple on mobile screens.

 

Desktop users make bookings at a higher rate through the map than mobile users. With the majority of your traffic visiting on mobile, we needed to find a solution to bridge the gap. 

 

With the button, mobile users can effortlessly view all available accommodations, making it easier than ever to book quickly and confidently.

 

During early testing with our key partners, we discovered some exciting opportunities to boost mobile bookings. By adding Allez links as buttons to pages with maps—like event pages—we noticed mobile users gravitated toward direct booking options.


This showed us just how much users value a smooth, mobile-friendly experience. So, we took it a step further and decided to integrate a booking button right into the map widget itself.

 

We’re confident that this new solution helps your users find the accommodation they need in a way that fits how they browse. 

 

How it works 

When one of your users clicks the button, they are brought to a page of hotel listings from one of our OTA suppliers. The results are automatically filtered based on the parameters of your map, such as dates, location, and number of occupants. 

 

The button uses our Roam AI technology to select the OTA supplier with which the user will most likely make a booking. 

 

 

The button automatically adapts to match your Map's existing color scheme and branding setup. The button switches dynamically between accommodations and experiences mode depending on what you’ve selected to show on the map. 

 

The button has been thoroughly tested and optimized to ensure there is no impact on page loading speed.
