Hotel Marketing
When it comes to digital marketing of luxury hotels, trying to navigate this endless digital world of possibilities can be quite overwhelming. Paid ads, various campaigns, SEO, digital PR, social media, email marketing, and the list goes on. All of these digital activities bring great value, however, how can hotel marketers make sure their activities are bringing real value?
Digital marketing analysis is a crucial part of understanding what strategies, channels and campaigns work for your luxury hotel, and which ones simply take up your time, and aside from unnecessary stress, don’t bring much to the table. This is where digital marketing audits come into play to provide hotel marketers with valuable insights to help them make data-driven decisions when reviewing their strategy and priorities.
A Digital Marketing Audit is an in-depth analysis, that involves a lot of data, which is then organised and used to make conclusions and relevant recommendations. At Big Bear, we offer digital marketing audits, which revolve around different aspects of your hotel’s digital marketing activities, depending on your needs. By separating it into different audits, we make sure hoteliers don’t get data paralysis after receiving a document with an endless number of pages. Quite the opposite, the data from our audits is easy to digest, understand and implement. Alongside the data on the hotel’s digital marketing, as well as its current and historical performance, an in-depth competitor analysis is also included. Allowing luxury hotels to see how their marketing efforts are performing and what their competitors are up to.
This type of audit highlights how your SEO efforts are impacting the business while revealing any missed opportunities when it comes to keywords and optimisations. It also showcases how you measure up against your competitors by looking into the keywords, they rank well for, as well as valuable SEO strategies that you could apply to your own luxury hotel. And of course, to ensure no background issues are hindering your SEO success, we audit the technical side of your website by reviewing its speed, as well as accessibility and performance, highlighting any errors or issues that need to be addressed.
