FAQ
Solutions, in detail.
How quickly does Bowerbird remove a rogue OTA listing?
Most rogue listings lose their images and key content within 3–7 days. Once images are removed, sponsored ads stop and the listing becomes commercially unviable. Persistent re-uploads are auto-detected and re-enforced by AI Watcher.
Does Bowerbird negotiate with OTAs on my behalf?
Bowerbird does not negotiate commission rates with contracted partners. Our enforcement targets unauthorised third parties and their use of your copyrighted material without your permission.
Can I see exactly how much revenue I'm losing right now?
Yes. The Rate Leakage Calculator on this page gives you a realistic annual estimate using your room rate, room count and occupancy, applying industry-average commission (18%) and direct-recapture rate (15%).
Does IPP integrate with my PMS or CRS?
IPP is independent of your PMS or CRS, so onboarding requires no IT integration. It runs alongside any tech stack and the Shiji and Lighthouse integrations enrich its data feeds.
Who issues the DMCA notices — Bowerbird or my hotel?
Bowerbird files takedowns on your behalf under a limited authorisation that you grant in onboarding. You retain full legal ownership of the copyright; we act as your enforcement partner.
Can I trigger a takedown manually from the dashboard?
Yes. One-click takedowns let your team submit a takedown in seconds — paste a URL, confirm, and the AI enforcement workflow takes over.
