FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cant find the answer you are looking for?Get in touch and we will be happy to help
Q. What makes digital marketing different for the hospitality industry?
Digital marketing in hospitality is unique because every decision a guest makes is emotional, time-sensitive and experience-driven. Unlike other industries, you’re not just selling a product but a moment – a stay, a meal or a memory. The challenge is balancing creativity with performance, building campaigns that capture imagination while driving measurable results like bookings, reservations and repeat visits. Success depends on understanding seasonality, managing occupancy and nurturing long-term guest relationships through every digital touchpoint.
Q. How can SEO help increase direct hotel bookings?
SEO helps hotels secure more direct bookings by improving visibility where travellers start their search. When your website ranks well for destination, experience and brand terms, guests are more likely to find and book with you directly instead of using high-cost OTAs. By optimising your technical performance, content and local presence, SEO creates a reliable flow of qualified traffic that converts into bookings, strengthens brand trust and protects your profit margins year-round.
Q. What’s the best digital channel for promoting restaurants and venues?
The best digital channels depend on your goals, audience and location, but most hospitality brands thrive when search, paid media and social marketing work together. SEO and Google Ads reach intent-driven users actively looking for places to eat or celebrate, while Meta and TikTok campaigns build awareness and inspire spontaneous visits. Combined with consistent social storytelling and reputation management, this mix creates visibility at every stage of the guest journey, from discovery to booking.
Q. How can digital marketing support event and wedding bookings?
Digital marketing helps venues reach people before they even know where they want to book. Through a combination of search-optimised event pages, paid campaigns and visual content, we help couples and organisers imagine their celebration at your venue. By tracking intent signals and using precise targeting, your marketing connects with people during key planning moments, generating qualified enquiries that fill calendars and grow referral business over time.
Q. Why is local SEO important for hotels and hospitality brands?
Local SEO ensures your business appears when guests search nearby for accommodation, dining or events, which is often where bookings begin. A well-optimised Google Business Profile, accurate local listings and consistent reviews give your brand credibility and improve conversions directly from search results. For multi-site hospitality groups, it also builds a strong local footprint that captures regional demand while reinforcing your brand identity across every location.
Q. Will I get a dedicated account manager?
You’ll have a dedicated Account Manager for each service area, giving you direct access to the specialists responsible for your results. Our SEO, paid media, social and web teams work closely together behind the scenes, coordinating strategy and sharing insight so your marketing stays aligned, consistent and focused on commercial growth.
Q. How often will I receive reports or updates?
You’ll receive a detailed performance report every month, supported by regular check-ins to review results and next steps. Our reports go beyond numbers to show meaningful outcomes such as bookings, enquiries and return on ad spend, helping you see the full picture of how your marketing is performing.
Q. Can boxChilli work alongside our in-house marketing team?
Yes, and many hospitality clients prefer a collaborative approach. We fit around your existing structure, providing specialist support in areas like SEO, paid media or content creation while maintaining a consistent voice across your campaigns. This creates a partnership that strengthens your internal capabilities rather than replacing them.
Q. How flexible are your services as our needs change throughout the year?
Hospitality marketing is seasonal, so we adapt campaigns to match peaks, events and quieter periods. Whether you need to shift focus from room bookings to weddings or scale paid activity during key seasons, our flexible approach ensures your strategy evolves as your business does.
Q. How does boxChilli approach digital marketing for hospitality brands?
Our approach begins with understanding your business model, audience behaviour and seasonal pressures. Hospitality marketing works best when creativity and commercial strategy come together, so we combine data insight with brand storytelling to create campaigns that build awareness, bookings and long-term loyalty. Every project is built from the ground up, integrating SEO, paid media, social and web to create a joined-up presence that delivers consistent results across every channel.
Q. What are boxChilli’s core values and how do they shape your work?
Everything we do is guided by three core values: Integrity, Creativity and being Client Focused. Integrity means transparent communication and honest reporting, so you always understand how your marketing is performing. Creativity drives our ability to tell stories that connect with guests emotionally and bring your brand to life online. Being client focused ensures your goals stay at the centre of every decision we make, from first strategy session to final results review. Together, these values shape the partnerships we build and the lasting results we deliver.
Q. How do you adapt to changing guest behaviours and booking trends?
Hospitality moves quickly, and so do we. Our team monitors emerging patterns in search, social and booking behaviour, analysing how guests discover, evaluate and decide where to stay or dine. We use this insight to refine messaging, targeting and channel mix before trends become mainstream, ensuring your marketing stays ahead of shifts in technology and guest expectations. This proactive approach means your brand remains visible, relevant and competitive in a landscape that changes every season.
Q. What makes your process different from other agencies?
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our process begins with detailed discovery to understand your objectives, audience and operational setup, followed by in-depth research into your competitors, brand positioning and current performance. From there, we build a tailored digital strategy that blends technical optimisation with creative storytelling, ensuring every activity aligns with your commercial goals. Unlike agencies that operate in silos, our in-house team collaborates daily across departments, keeping campaigns agile, cohesive and results-driven.
