Pullman Melbourne on the Park: Enhancing Online Visibility and Direct Bookings with OmniHyper®’s SEO for Hotels

Hotels are making a remarkable comeback after facing one of their greatest challenges to date. Despite the setbacks caused by the pandemic, hotels are finding ways to push forward as the industry recovers and even emerge stronger than ever before, especially with their online visibility.

Background

Located in a prime area in Melbourne, Pullman Melbourne on the Park is a haven for leisure, business, and MICE travellers, surrounded by Melbourne’s sporting, nightlife, shopping, and dining experiences. With 419 rooms and suites, Pullman Melbourne on the Park faced the challenge of improving its online visibility and driving direct bookings in a competitive market.

Problem

Before Pullman Melbourne on the Park reopened in late Q4 2021, the hotel’s management team knew they needed to implement a strategy to improve their online presence to attract guests and drive more public direct bookings.

The hotel microsite was dormant for a long time, making it difficult for them to secure top rankings in Search Engines, which in turn made it challenging to generate direct website bookings. The team turned to OmniHyper® for their ‘SEO for Hotels’ product, which aims to increase online visibility and make their overall marketing efforts perform better.

Solution

To achieve this goal for Pullman Melbourne on the Park, OmniHyper® implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy for hotels, coupled with a service that targets hyperlocal demand.

Results

With the partnership between Pullman Melbourne on the Park and OmniHyper®, the hotel was able to reduce its reliance on online travel agents (OTAs) by driving the right traffic to the website. SEO for Hotels enhances the hotel’s online presence, driving more traffic to its own website, thereby boosting direct bookings.

Regional Director of Sales & Marketing, Queensland & Northern Territory Australia
100% support this partnership, my only clear advice is to understand what OmniHyper will do for the business, you will not see the result as an instant fix, it takes up to 6 months to deliver on Google, it is a very complex back engine partnership, and the results in the world of sales are not tangible and it is hard to define the ROI in the first 6 months. Google takes patience and time as Google does not want you to be on Page one in an organic space without paying for it, and patience is something we in hotels do not have a lot off. Understand what the long-term goal is and work with OmniHyper collectively and you will get your ROI in redirecting direct business from 3rd party channels, also really good for MICE opportunity. For me as your aware, this is a no brainer and something I am much defined about, we have 8 hotels in the region working in this partnership and we do see the results come through. Over to you, Warm Regards Tricia.
