90-day online marketing plan
Driftwood Stays
Driftwood Stays will fill more nights by answering guests quickly by phone and message, showing real photos where holiday let searches begin and keeping in touch with the guests who come back.
More calls and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Make every property page answer the questions guests ring about, such as dogs, parking, beds and how to get in, with a call button and an enquiry form at the top.
Complete the Google Business Profile with photos of every home in every season, so guests searching for a holiday let near me see real places and a number to call.
Turn each finished stay into the next one by keeping a list of past guests, with their permission, and writing to them before the booking season opens.
