THE CHALLENGE
Why hotel marketing is different.
Travelers compare everything, booking sites crowd the results and demand rises and falls with the season.
Location is the product
Guests search by neighborhood: South Beach, Brickell, Key Biscayne, Fort Lauderdale beach. You need a page for how they search.
Seasonal demand
Snowbird season, Art Basel and boat show weeks fill rooms fast. Summer and hurricane season need local and drive-in travelers.
