The Backdrop

Greene County Tourism started with us in November  2021, with the goal of improving their footprint online to draw more visitors to the county’s attractions. Nestled in Central Virginia as the gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains and Skyline Drive, Greene County has amazing options for recreation, hiking, history, wineries, breweries, and more. 

 

We launched a Google Ad Campaign for Greene County as a straightforward, effective way to get more visitors to their website!

The Course Of Action

We have been running two ad campaigns for Greene County. One for ‘General Tourism’, hitting a broad swath of the east coast. And the other for ‘Day Trippers and Overnighters’, hitting just those within a day’s drive.

 

These are targeted Ads that appear in Google Search results when potential visitors search for our keywords:

With this campaign, we are able to specifically target the Mid-Atlantic, VA, MD, DC, PA area, with the goal of driving interest for people who are able to take a weekend or week-long trip to the Greene County area. 

Day Trippers & Overnighters

For this campaign we selected keywords that would help generate more traffic, such as:

 Weekend Getaways

 Day Trips From VA

 Day Trips From DC

These keywords help our Ads get noticed by the right customers!
