My SME helped Atzaró Cape Town strengthen its customer acquisition strategy by aligning business positioning, website development and targeted Google Ads to reach high-value travellers and generate measurable direct booking opportunities.
Atzaró Cape Town partnered with My SME with the goal of strengthening its direct booking strategy and reaching more high-value travellers without relying solely on third-party booking platforms.
The approach focused on understanding the business, its target market and the type of customer it wanted to attract, before aligning its positioning, website experience and marketing activity around those objectives.
Google Ads formed an important part of this wider strategy, allowing Atzaró Cape Town to reach high-intent travellers actively searching for luxury accommodation in Cape Town across South Africa, the United States and key European markets.
The result was a measurable increase in direct booking opportunities, with the marketing investment generating over R874,000 in revenue.
