What to Expect from a Responsible Hotel Marketing Agency

We are witnessing a major milestone in the history of hotel marketing. As properties become aware of the importance of direct sales, and deploy—with varying degrees of success—their strategies focused on positioning their websites, we see other companies joining the race to offer competitive advantages in the form of Marketing, Search Engine Optimisation, Web Design and Booking Engine services. I take it as given that every company is free to choose its market penetration tactics, how it promotes itself, and the methods it uses to convince hoteliers overwhelmed by both necessity and the vast number of offers currently available to them. I believe that what sets a company apart is its degree of responsibility towards its clients and the services it provides. If a company is also responsible towards its team and its competitors, that is when one can be proud of it.   A responsible Marketing and Search Engine Optimisation services company:

• Provides proof of the AdWords investments made on behalf of its clients.
• Does not manipulate sales and conversion reports to make it appear that most of its clients’ sales are attributable to its management.
• Does not engage in actions that could harm its clients, such as unprofessional SEO tactics.
• Does not spam or fabricate client testimonials.
• Does not breach confidentiality agreements with its clients or make their sales figures and the strategies developed to achieve them public.
• Never takes credit for the work of other companies that may previously have provided services to a client.
• Never promises sales results supposedly arising from its management.
• Never disparages its competitors.
• Never places hidden links on its clients’ websites.
