The Challenge
A Great Property With Almost No Online Visibility
The business had a strong product — luxury cabins and glamping tents in one of New England’s most scenic destinations — but almost no search presence. Traffic was almost entirely branded, around 10 visits per week, driven by word of mouth and direct referrals. That approach worked early on, but it capped growth with no way to scale.
Key issues included:
Messy website structure built on Webflow that was hard to scale or extend
Important pages missing entirely — no coverage of local activities, nearby attractions, or travel guides
No internal linking, meaning search engines could not understand the site or pass authority between pages
Very little content and no strategy for capturing non-branded search demand
Zero backlinks and no domain authority to compete for tourism-related keywords
Complete reliance on word of mouth and direct traffic with no inbound organic channel
The Strategy
Visibility, Trust, and Relevance — Before the Booking Decision
In tourism, people do not search for your property first. They search for the destination. The strategy focused on showing up during the planning stage, building authority fast through PR, and connecting that traffic directly to bookings.
Before any content or link-building work, the site needed to function properly as an SEO asset. A poorly structured site limits everything that comes after it.
Rather than generic link outreach, we focused on relevance. The target was journalists within driving distance of the property — people who would genuinely visit and write about the experience.
The content strategy was not about blogging for its own sake. Every page was built around searches travelers were already making before deciding where to stay.
The goal was to show up before someone decides where to stay, not after. Capturing the planning stage captures the booking.
Every piece of content was built with a clear path back to the cabins and booking pages. Traffic without conversion is just a vanity metric. Internal links from every travel guide, attraction page, and local content piece pointed visitors directly toward reservations.
Step 01
Fix the Foundation
Cleaned up the Webflow site structure and resolved underlying HTML issues
Created a clear, scalable page layout that could support ongoing content growth
Added missing pages — local attractions, nearby experiences, travel-adjacent content
Built a complete internal linking structure so search engines could crawl, understand, and rank the site effectively
Step 02
PR That Actually Gets Links
Outreach targeted lifestyle and travel journalists in New York and New Jersey
Offer: a complimentary night stay in exchange for an honest write-up — no scripted coverage
Approximately 50% success rate on outreach, generating around 60 backlinks in 90 days
Features earned in lifestyle publications serving the same audiences already searching for New Hampshire getaways
Links were relevant and editorially placed — not directories, not generic placements
Step 03
Content Built Around Real Travel Searches
The content strategy was not about blogging for its own sake. Every page was built around searches travelers were already making before deciding where to stay.
Things to do in the area and nearby attraction guides
Waterfall and hiking guides tied to the region
Best time to visit content aligned to seasonal search demand
Local restaurant and dining guides
Comprehensive travel guides anchored to the property location
Step 04
Connect Traffic to Bookings
Worth Noting
Peak Periods Fully Booked Months in Advance
The booking impact went beyond a 40% overall increase. During peak periods, the property became fully booked months in advance — a complete reversal from a business that had previously relied on last-minute direct traffic and word of mouth. With the cheapest tent averaging around $140 per night, even modest occupancy gains produced meaningful revenue impact.
The first meaningful results appeared around the 90-day mark as the PR campaign, technical fixes, and content strategy began compounding together.

The Key Insight
In tourism, people search for the destination before they search for the property. By showing up during the trip-planning stage — through location-based content, local guides, and earned editorial coverage — the business positioned itself to win the booking before competitors even entered the picture.
