Where we would focus for Tourism and Lakefront

Seasonal local search and Google Maps

Visitors plan trips on their phones, often by season: summer boat rentals, fall color tours, winter events. Keep your Google Business Profile hours and photos current through the year. Local SEO helps you appear for trip searches near the lake.

Booking confirmations and pre-trip emails

A guest who booked a rental or tour needs a confirmation, directions, and what to bring. Send these by email and a text on the day. A short reminder before the trip reduces questions at the dock or front desk.

Seasonal promotions on social and paid social

Promotions work best when they match the season. Paid social can reach nearby visitors, and organic social posts show the lake as it is in each season. Link each post to a booking page, not just to your homepage.
