A Regional Tourism Association focused on increasing local business revenue by showcasing their region’s attractions struggled to fully leverage their Google Ad Grant. Their main challenges included:
✅ Seasonal Marketing Adjustments – Their website and tourism campaigns changed each season, requiring a flexible ad strategy.
✅ Attracting the Right Visitors – They needed to target potential travelers who were most likely to visit and spend locally.
✅ Managing Compliance & Performance – Staying eligible for the grant while ensuring ad performance required continuous effort.
We created a dynamic, seasonally focused ad strategy to align with their changing website content and tourism priorities.
🔹 Seasonal Campaign Adjustments – Every season, we refreshed ad copy, keywords, and targeting to match current activities (e.g., summer hiking, fall festivals, winter sports).
🔹 Optimized Destination-Based Ads – We focused on attracting high-intent travelers by highlighting unique local experiences.
🔹 Google Ad Grant Compliance & Performance Monitoring – Ensured they maintained eligibility while maximizing ad engagement.
🔹 Data-Driven Strategy – We used analytics to refine targeting, improving ad effectiveness each season.
