Smarter Landing, Better Bookings: Roam’s Latest Update

Written by Kyle Brouse | Aug 20, 2025

The latest update to Roam Landing Page Optimization has increased the conversions from +10% to +17%

A reader clicks your affiliate link and lands on a hotel page that doesn’t match where they’re at in the purchase journey. So, they bounce.

That bounce is a lost booking.

These mismatches happen all the time. You can’t control them, and you shouldn’t have to.

That’s why we launched Roam Landing Page Optimization back in 2023 (formerly known as Optimized Redirect). We had one simple goal: make sure your audience lands where they’re most likely to book.

That first rollout delivered a 10.6% boost in conversion rate. A small change, big result.

But we didn’t stop optimizing.

Over the past year, we’ve been tinkering with Roam’s machine learning engine.

The result? A verified +17% increase in conversions from the same links.

What Is Landing Page Optimization?

Not every blog post has the same booking flow.

Some content is built around direct hotel recommendations, giving a specific hotel that’s tried and trusted. 

Other posts are more exploratory, like guides that help readers understand an area, compare neighborhoods, or browse options.

Roam’s Landing Page Optimization adjusts the landing page based on the content.

  • For content with direct, high-intent recommendations, Roam often sends users to a Hotel Detail Page.
  • For broader content meant to inspire or compare, Roam routes to a Search Results Page, with your recommended hotel pinned at the top.


Your link stays the same. But Roam decides how to present the destination, whether it’s showing the hotel directly or placing it at the top of a results page.

It’s not guesswork. These choices are based on real booking behavior from millions of clicks across thousands of sites.

How We Improved the Model

Roam’s logic has always been built on behavior data. But the model got smarter.

Over the past year and change, our machine-learning engine trained on more user sessions, bounce patterns, and OTA-level conversion signals. We rolled out the update in June 2025.


The new uplift: +17% in bookings, up from the original 10.6%.

Nothing to do on your side. The smarter logic is already live.

AI That Works For You

We get it.  AI hasn’t exactly been kind to creators lately. It scrapes content, floods search results, and often feels like it's working against you.

That’s not how we think it should be.

At Stay22, we believe AI is best used to quietly handle the tasks you shouldn’t have to: Tracking user behavior, testing which pages perform better, and optimizing what happens after the click.

You didn’t start a travel blog to monitor affiliate conversion funnels. You started it to tell great stories, help people travel better, and maybe earn enough to fund your next trip.

Roam is here to support that by making what you’ve already done more effective.
