Where to start

What are you trying to grow?

Find. Choose. Act. Measure.

The same path applies across hotels, wellness resorts, and destinations. The searches, pages, and measures change with the niche.

01

Find

Identify the stays, programs, or visitor opportunities worth pursuing first.

02

Choose

Make the offer clear enough that someone can decide on your site, not somewhere else.

03

Act

Give them a direct next step: book, enquire, or reach a relevant local business.

04

Measure

Track the action that matters: bookings started, qualified enquiries, or partner referrals, not vanity traffic.

Experience from inside the travel marketplace

Search experience from inside Expedia.

At Expedia ANZ, I helped recover more than 40% of organic traffic and grow it until organic became the region’s number one revenue channel. That work connected hotel partners, destination pages, public relations and tourism relationships.

That career experience now helps official websites compete for the demand that marketplaces, publishers and established alternatives capture first.

Brent Manning

I help boutique hotels, wellness resorts, and destination organisations connect search visibility with the actions that matter: choosing a room or program, making an enquiry, booking direct, or reaching a local partner.

The starting point is always the same. Who do you want to attract, what do they need to know, and what should happen next?

Outside work: paddleboarding in Puerto Vallarta, Muay Thai, and making music.
