Tourism & Attraction Marketing · British Columbia

Marketing that reaches visitors before they even land.

Most visitors plan their Vancouver itinerary weeks before arriving, researching activities on Google, TripAdvisor and Instagram from home. We build the destination content, booking platform optimization and local SEO that get your tour, attraction or experience onto that itinerary early, for tourism businesses across British Columbia.

Industry Overview

Two moments, two marketing jobs.

Tourism marketing has to work at two very different moments: pre-trip, when a traveller is researching and building their itinerary from home, and in-destination, when a visitor already in Vancouver is deciding what to do today or tomorrow. Winning the pre-trip moment requires strong SEO and content discoverable from anywhere in the world; winning the in-destination moment requires hyper-local visibility and fast, mobile-friendly booking. Most tourism businesses only do one well.

The Challenges

Where tourism businesses lose visitors.

Weak SEO for pre-trip planning searches like "things to do in Vancouver," losing visibility to larger tourism boards and aggregators.
Thin or unmanaged listings on TripAdvisor, Viator and Google, despite these being where most visitors compare options.
A booking process that's slow or not mobile-optimized, frustrating travellers trying to book from a phone.
No in-destination advertising strategy to capture visitors already in the city looking for same-day activities.
Content that doesn't translate well for an international audience unfamiliar with local context.

The Opportunity

Own both the planning phase and the arrival moment.

A tourism business that ranks well for pre-trip research, maintains a strong presence on the booking platforms visitors actually compare, and layers in-destination advertising for last-minute decisions captures demand at every stage of the visitor journey — not just the stage most competitors focus on. This compounds especially well in a market like Vancouver, where a huge share of visitor spending happens on activities booked in the final 48 hours before or during the trip.
