Welcome to Your Travel and Tourism Marketing Partner
I am a seasoned digital marketing & SEO consultant with a passion for helping you tell your unique story. Why? I spent nearly 2 years as a digital nomad in Asia Pacific...
wading through the streets during torrential rainstorms in Vietnam
exploring the temples of Thailand and Angkor Wat
embarking on a road trip through New Zealand
And I love bringing my passion for traveling to the world of digital marketing & SEO - helping others explore new lands and begin new adventures...but first, tourists needs to understand their travel options! That's where digital marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) come in.
Why Destination Marketing and Tourism Organizations Need SEO
Destination marketing is about positioning your region as a must-visit destination in the minds of potential travelers. Consumers rely on online information to decide where to travel, what attractions to visit, and which destinations to experience.
Whether it’s a prospective traveler searching for “travel marketing” or a local government looking for ways to boost tourism with “destination marketing organizations” as part of their public outreach strategy, your website must stand out.
For DMOs and tourism organizations, effective search engine optimization (SEO) can be a game changer. Here’s why:
-
Visibility and Discovery: In a sea of travel options, your website needs to be easily discoverable. When travelers search for experiences in the Pacific Northwest or look up “travel marketing” and “tourism marketing,” a strong SEO strategy ensures that your content appears on the top results.
-
Data-Driven Decisions: Using comprehensive SEO audits, keyword research, and competitive analysis, I help you understand market trends, target demographic interests, and optimize your content to meet the needs of today’s global traveler.
-
Cultural Connection: In destination marketing, storytelling is crucial. Leveraging the unique cultural narratives of your region—whether it’s the iconic imagery of Bigfoot in the PnW or the local flavors and traditions of a historic downtown—helps establish an authentic connection with your audience.
-
Cost-Effective Strategies: Unlike traditional advertising which can be expensive and
transient, SEO offers a more sustainable, cost-effective way to build long-term organic traffic and brand credibility.
I’ve seen firsthand how digital marketing can transform destinations. The key is in blending robust technical SEO with compelling, culture-driven content that speaks directly to travelers’ hearts.

Understanding Your Audience: Local, Global, and Cultural Nuances
To succeed in destination marketing, it’s imperative to know your audience. I analyze data to develop detailed customer personas that capture the diverse interests, cultural backgrounds and travel motivations of prospective visitors. Imagine -
a traveler who has a deep affinity for nature
an interest in the local legends of the Pacific Northwest
a cultural explorer inspired by community events
These personas guide your strategy, ensuring that every piece of content—from your blog posts and social media updates, to landing pages and multimedia campaigns—is tailored to speak directly to your target audience.
This localized, yet global, approach helps you stand out, whether your audience is searching for “guided rainforest trips South America” or “luxury cruise lines.”

Crafting a Compelling Destination Narrative
The power of storytelling lies at the heart of effective destination marketing. Every region has its unique heritage, natural beauty, and cultural idiosyncrasies. I help DMOs and tourism organizations craft a narrative that communicates these elements in a way that captures the imagination of potential visitors.
If your destination includes iconic landmarks like the rainforests of the PnW, the bustling streets of Paris or the iconic imagery of Brazil's Christ the Redeemer, your content should weave these visuals and stories into a narrative that conveys wonder, discovery and adventure. By integrating these cultural and geographic elements into your digital marketing & SEO strategy, you create an emotional connection with travelers that encourages them to explore and experience the destination for themselves.
A well-crafted narrative boosts SEO by incorporating relevant keywords and drives social media engagement and word-of-mouth promotion—powerful tools in the realm of tourism marketing. This holistic storytelling approach ensures that your online presence is both compelling and effective.
