Case Study: a luxury boutique hotel group reduces true CPA by 14.3% with Stape server-side tracking

Luxury Boutique Hotel Group cuts true CPA by 14.3% with Stape

A luxury boutique hotel group approached Stape Care with a challenge of "phantom ROAS" in its Google Ads reports. Their client-side tracking could not account for high offline cancellation and modification rates, causing a significant disconnect between reported ad performance and actual revenue and forcing Smart Bidding to optimize for unrealized bookings.

Stape implemented a server-side tracking configuration using Stape Store as a data bridge to integrate Property Management System webhooks. This automatically retracted canceled bookings and restated modified reservations within Google Ads. The solution increased valid tracking coverage by 17.1%, eliminated reporting drifts, and dropped the true cost per acquisition by 14.3% by calibrating Smart Bidding to real business outcomes.
