Search Engine Optimization for Hotels & Accommodation Providers
The dream of every hotelier or holiday rentals business is to meet the needs of their guests. This takes more than just updating content on your website or promoting your business on social media. You need a well-thought-out strategy that cuts across the major components of digital marketing. That is, content, social, SEO, and analytics.
What we do
1. SEO Audit
An SEO Audit will streamline your marketing best practices to ensure optimum results. Here, we would love to put your online marketing strategies to the test. That is before we work together to align your SEO and digital marketing strategy to your business’s goals.
2. Content
In the modern search engine optimization world, the context of your content is key to success. Gone are the days when sketchy, keyword-stuffed content would rank on the first page of Google. Times are changing, and so is content strategy.
3. Backlink
High-quality backlinks pointing to your hotel business boost your site's domain authority. Not to mention that prospects will have a way to access your site, hence boosting traffic and ultimately conversions. We understand the importance of sourcing genuine backlinks from relevant authority websites. So we won't cut corners, and we recommend that you don't as well.
4. Citation
Local citation is one of the local SEO ranking factors. This makes it an essential tool for hotel and accommodation businesses. Your target will be to have your business' name, address, and phone number listed on as many business directories and authority websites as possible. That way, your site will rank on the search engines.

We are proud when our efforts yield results that meet and even exceed the clients’ expectations. Our goal is to make an impact on every project we undertake. We strive to simplify the everyday digital marketing responsibilities using smart, practical and customized solutions.
One of our clients, Castlemaine Boutique Accommodation, boosted their organic traffic by nearly 600% in a year. Thanks to the relentless efforts from the company staff and our in-house digital marketers.
Castlemaine Boutique Accommodation was facing a couple of marketing challenges pre-pandemic. One major issue was a low Google ranking that prevented the company from getting more direct bookings. At the time, the company was only getting 10% of the bookings from direct clients and the other 90% from online travel agencies.
We were set to change this narrative, and we were determined to succeed. After conducting a comprehensive SEO audit, we embarked on a journey that saw the business’ online visibility improve by a considerable margin.
Our focus was mainly on optimizing site speed, mobile-friendliness, linking, and overall user experience. This had the impact of boosting organic traffic, and as a result, the rate of direct bookings shot to an all-time high of 64%.
