The searches that will find you

We group searches by intent: high-intent queries go into separate campaigns with higher bids, informational ones become negative keywords or content.

Niche specifics

Why ads for Hotels & Resorts can’t follow a template

01

Dependence on OTAs

A large share of bookings comes through online travel agencies (OTAs), which take a commission and own the guest relationship. Direct bookings are more profitable, but for that your website has to appear in search results next to them.

02

Intermediaries bidding on your brand

OTAs and other intermediaries can run ads on your hotel's name. Without your own brand campaign, a guest who was looking for you specifically ends up booking through an intermediary.

03

Sharp seasonality

Mountain hotels live on winter holidays and summer vacations; seaside ones mostly on summer. Budget and bids need to shift between peaks and the off-season instead of staying the same all year.

04

Different guests, different motives

Families with kids, couples, groups of friends and corporate clients look for different things: a kids' room, a spa, peace and quiet or a conference room. One generic ad doesn't answer any of these searches.

Sample ad

Here’s what your ad could look like

This is just one variation. In a responsive search ad, we write up to 15 headlines and 4 descriptions, and Google assembles the best combination for each search.

  • The search keyword appears in the first headline
  • A concrete benefit and offer instead of generic claims
  • A call to action that matches the goal: call, booking, directions
  • Sitelinks lead to relevant pages

Ad descriptions

Cozy rooms and cottages for families and couples. Breakfast, kids' room, transfers.

Book direct: flexible cancellation terms and a quick reply from our front desk.

Analytics

What we count as a result

Automated bid strategies learn from the data we feed them. That’s why we only count actions that lead to sales.

  • Direct booking on the website (with amount)
  • Call to the front desk from an ad
  • Booking or corporate event inquiry
  • Messenger message
  • Directions request in Maps

Demand seasonality

Demand in the Carpathians comes in two waves — winter holidays with the ski season, and summer vacations — while seaside demand peaks in summer. Holidays and peak dates are booked in advance, so we launch ads before the peak, and in the off-season we emphasize weekends, spa packages and corporate events.

FAQ

Common questions about ads for Hotels & Resorts

Answers to the questions business owners ask most often before launch.

Why pay for ads on our own hotel's name?

Because OTAs and intermediaries may be advertising on your name. If your ad isn't at the top, a guest who was looking for you books through an intermediary that charges a commission. Brand clicks are usually inexpensive, and they win back direct bookings.

What are Google hotel ads, and are they right for us?

They are ads showing room prices and availability on Google Hotels, Maps and Search. They require a Hotel Center account and price data sent through a compatible booking system or channel manager. We first check whether your software supports this, and only then plan this format.

How do we advertise a resort in the off-season?

We change the offer, not just the budget: weekend getaways, spa packages, corporate retreats, team building, holiday packages. We write separate ads and pages for each scenario and show remarketing to guests who have already shown interest in your hotel.

Can bookings made through a booking engine be tracked?

In most cases, yes. Booking engines often run on a separate domain or in an embedded window, so we set up cross-domain tracking in GA4 and pass the booking amount as conversion value. If the engine doesn't support this, we find a solution via GTM or data import.

How do we attract corporate clients?

With a separate campaign for searches about corporate events, conferences and team building outside the city. These clients take longer to decide and call more often, so a page with your venues, capacity and formats matters, as does call tracking.
