Generating qualified leads for 3 West Coast Fishing Resorts
We have been working with Nootka Marine Adventures (NMA) on their SEO and lead generation for 5 years. The purpose of our lead generation is to fill accommodations, sell tickets to their events, and increase the awareness and search visibility for all three resorts.
Considerations
There are several target audiences for NMA due to their many accommodation options, that range from local anglers to international guests in search of all-inclusive, luxury vacations. Their keywords and phrases can also be quite competitive because there are many other fishing resorts in Canada so differentiation and proper SEO practices are important.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have had to become incredibly flexible and quick on our feet in order to keep up with fast-changing provincial, national, and international travel restrictions.
What we did
We use a combination of highly targeted paid advertising, including Google, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, as well as search engine optimization, and organic posts to create a holistic lead generation strategy that is continually growing and improving.
Tools and techniques:
- Google Ads – search and display
- Facebook and Instagram Ads – lead forms, story ads, events, dynamic, video ads, and more.
- LinkedIn – targeted advertising to sell corporate retreats
- Optimized landing pages for each ad campaign
