Who is this for?

Owners and managers of hotels, bed and breakfasts, and campgrounds are interested in running digital marketing ads.

You already know that your business cannot survive without an online presence in this digital age, and you also know that every good business needs a good digital marketing plan. There are many digital marketing strategies that you can use to boost awareness for your hotel or campground. One of the most popular tools is Google Hotel Ads. 

Read on to learn more about Google Ads and how you can integrate Google Hotel Ads with your ResNexus Booking Engine.

What are Google Ads?

You’ve probably heard a lot about Google Ads over the last few years. Google Ads is an online advertising platform that allows businesses to display ads across Google’s Search pages and network. 

What do they look like?

Whether you’ve realized it or not, you’ve seen these ads every time you’ve used a search engine like Google! 

One way you might have seen these ads is at the top of a search results page with a small, bold “sponsored” label. However, that is just one way that your ads might be seen by potential guests.

How do they work?

Google Ads are a form of “pay-per-click” marketing, aka “PPC”. As the name implies, a pay-per-click platform like Google Ads doesn’t charge advertisers to create or publish their ads. Instead, advertisers pay a small fee every time someone clicks on their ad. 

How do they help my business?

Digital Marketing Ads are a great way to increase awareness and bookings for your business. As soon as your Google Ad is published, it’s shown to potential guests. This visibility is immediate and will last as long as your ad is published. 

This increased visibility can help increase your website traffic and bookings by introducing your business to new users and retargeting previous guests.

Google Hotels Ads

There are many types of Google Ads, but the one most commonly used for digital marketing in the hospitality industry is Google Hotel Ads.

Google Hotel Ads are ads designed specifically for hotels, campgrounds, and other hospitality businesses. These ads appear on Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Travel, allowing potential guests to see real-time rates, availability, and direct booking options.

Why Use Google Hotel Ads?

There are many reasons why a business might want to use Google Ads for their hotel. Some of the most common reasons include:

Increase Direct Bookings: Google Hotels are linked directly to your website and booking engine. This means that your guests can book with you directly, saving you money on 3rd party OTAs and commission fees.

Increase Awareness: Your ads will appear at the top of Google search results when potential guests search for accommodations in your area. This increased visibility increases the likelihood of guests selecting you for their next stay. 

Advanced Data Tracking: Google Ads provides detailed analytics that help you measure the performance of your campaigns. This can help you understand how your budget is being used and how you can adjust your strategy accordingly.
