About · Bristol & Levi

Eight people. Two basecamps. One stance on rented land.

We started Booked Wild because the operators we admire — small lodges, retreats, tour outfits — were quietly handing a quarter of every booking to a platform that owned their guest. We're a small team that fixes that. Specifically.

01 · Founder

Colin Harrison. Twenty years watching operators get squeezed.

I spent the first decade of my career inside agencies running SEO and websites for hotels, lodges, and tour operators. The second decade I spent watching the same agencies pivot to whatever was paying — TikTok ads, AI generators, the next shiny thing — while the underlying problem got worse. Operators paid more to OTAs every year. Direct margin shrank.

I started Booked Wild in 2024 to do one thing well: get independent operators recommended where travellers are searching now, and rebuild the booking flow underneath so visibility actually pays. We post our prices. We name what we do. We don't sell “solutions.”

I split my time between Bristol and Levi, Finland — where I'm also working on the separate Levi Tourism Model research project. The team works across both ends of Europe.

Replace this with the first real review from the Nivo Digital Google Business Profile, verbatim. Keep the line breaks the reviewer wrote — don't tidy.

Replace this with the second real review. Aim for reviews that name a specific outcome, a specific service, or a specific result — not generic praise.

Replace this with the third real review. Reviews that mention a number (revenue, bookings, ranking) are particularly useful — they parse cleanly for AI engines.

Replace this with the fourth real review. Four cards is the default layout (2 × 2 on tablet+, single column on mobile); add a fifth or sixth entry if you have stronger material.

04 · How we work · five principles

We don't say "solutions". We name what we do.

01

Posted prices

Every line is on the website. No “starting at,” no “contact for pricing.”

02

Real numbers

We publish methodology and source. If it's an estimate, we say so.

03

Owned booking flows

Our work reduces OTA dependency. Always. That's the whole point.

04

Fixed scope

We don't pad retainers. The £97 audit is two weeks. The website rebuild is six to ten.

05

Boring rigour

No reveal-on-scroll, no AI clichés. We use what works because it works.
