The real challenges

What makes Hospitality & Hotels marketing different.

01

OTA commission drain

Booking.com and Expedia take 15–25% commission on every booking they generate. Building direct booking channels through smart SEO and paid search is the most impactful investment a hotel can make.

02

Seasonal demand management

Hospitality demand is intensely seasonal. Your marketing budget needs to flex — investing heavily ahead of peak periods and maintaining visibility during shoulder seasons.

03

Last-minute vs advance booking segments

Different guests book differently. Business travellers book last minute. Leisure guests plan weeks ahead. Your campaigns need to capture both audiences with appropriate lead times and offers.

04

Review and reputation management

TripAdvisor and Google reviews directly influence booking decisions. A reputation management strategy is as important as the advertising itself.

Hospitality FAQ

Hospitality questions.

Google Hotel Ads, SEO for branded and location terms, Meta retargeting of OTA visitors, and email/WhatsApp sequences for past guests. Direct bookings typically carry 15–25% higher margins than OTA bookings — the ROI on direct booking campaigns is excellent.

Google Maps and local SEO (people search 'restaurant near me' constantly), Instagram and TikTok for food content, Google Ads for specific cuisine searches, and WhatsApp for reservation management and VIP guest communication.

Separate campaigns with distinct creative, messaging, and targeting. Tourists respond to experience-led content and package deals; business travellers prioritise location, facilities, and corporate rates. We segment and serve both with tailored funnels.

Yes. Reputation is the primary conversion driver in hospitality. We implement post-stay review generation sequences, monitor and respond to reviews across TripAdvisor, Google, and Booking.com, and track your competitive reputation score.

We plan campaigns 6–8 weeks ahead for Ramadan, Eid, Dubai Shopping Festival, and peak tourist seasons (October–March). Budget and creative strategies differ per period — Ramadan requires culturally respectful, Iftar-and-Suhoor-focused messaging.

Yes. Pre-launch campaigns build awareness before opening; launch campaigns drive early reservations and reviews; post-launch optimisation scales what's working. We've supported multiple UAE hospitality launches from scratch.
