ASTRO Programs
Your own direct booking website
Guests book with you directly: on your own site, under your own name, on your own terms. You keep the relationship with the people who stay with you, and you gain a booking channel that doesn't depend on anyone else's fee schedule or ranking rules.
Your ASTRO page sends guests to you
When your direct site is linked on your ASTRO page, the page shows a Book Directly button that opens your site, with your site's address beside it.
When your property appears on its city page on ASTRO, its card carries a Book direct marker and link. Guests who find you on ASTRO book with you.

How it works
You ask
Choose one of your verified properties below and confirm the introduction.
One Click SEO builds it
They contact you directly, then build and host your website and set up the booking engine that takes your reservations.
You're live
Guests book on your site, and your ASTRO page links to it with a Book Directly button.
Who does what
ASTRO
- Holds your verified property identity: your VPI and your public registry page.
- Links your registry page to your booking site.
- Lets your site show your ASTRO Verified status and link back to your registry page.
- Makes the introduction when you ask, sharing only the information listed below.
One Click SEO
- Is the contracting party for your site and your booking engine.
- Builds and hosts your website and sets up the VikBooking engine on it.
- Works with you directly on design, content, and setup.
- Sets its own pricing and terms, and shares them with you directly.
ASTRO does not resell Vik, does not operate your site, and does not receive your booking, guest, or payment data. Bookings and payments run between you and your guests, through your site.
What gets shared
Nothing is shared until you confirm. When you do, One Click SEO can retrieve the following for the property you choose:
- Your property's name, VPI, and ASTRO registry page link
- Location: street address, city, state, and map coordinates, with your address-visibility setting
- Size and structure: guests, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, year built, and style
- Amenities and feature tags from your published profile
- The published description sections on your ASTRO page
- Photos ASTRO hosts for your property that you've authorized (third-party images are never included)
- Links you've added to your ASTRO page
- Your name, email address, and phone number on your ASTRO account
- The business phone and website you enter below, if any
Only your published ASTRO profile is shared. Your address-visibility setting travels with it, and One Click SEO honors it for anything shown publicly.
Disclosure
- One Click SEO is an independent web and SEO agency, separate from ASTRO.
- ASTRO's founder is a principal of One Click SEO.
- ASTRO receives no payment for referrals.
- The referral is optional. Use any web provider you like: any direct booking site you run can be linked on your ASTRO page.
- Asking has no effect on your ASTRO listing: not its ranking, not its badges, not its placement. Owners who use another provider, or none, are treated the same.
Questions
How do I link a direct booking site I already have?
From your property's public profile in your dashboard, add it as a direct booking link.
What happens after I ask?
One Click SEO receives your referral and contacts you at the email and phone on your ASTRO account. Whether you go ahead, and on what terms, is between you and them.
What does it cost?
One Click SEO sets its own pricing and shares it with you directly before you commit to anything.
Who can ask for an introduction?
ASTRO members with at least one ownership-verified property. Each referral is made for a specific verified property.
