Client
Forth Atlanta is a new boutique hotel and social club located in Midtown Atlanta. Designed to combine luxury accommodations with wellness, dining, and a private membership experience, the property entered one of the most competitive hotel markets in the Southeast.
Partnership
From the very beginning, Forth Atlanta partnered with Gourmet Marketing, a hotel marketing agency for Atlanta Hotels, to manage the full digital launch. The goal was to build a strong online presence, generate direct bookings, and reduce reliance on OTAs through a multi-channel marketing strategy.

Work
Our focus was on creating a complete digital foundation while driving measurable revenue:
-
Website Development & HubSpot Integration
A fully customized website launched with HubSpot CRM integration to connect marketing, sales, and guest communication. -
SEO & Organic Growth
Comprehensive search optimization resulted in visibility for more than 6,000 non-brand keywords, with hundreds ranking in the top 10. The value of these rankings is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in monthly ad spend. -
Local Search & Google Hotel Finder Optimization
Through citation building and link building, we strengthened Forth Atlanta’s local search presence. By the end of the first year, the hotel ranked at the very top of Google Hotel Finder for critical categories, capturing:-
24% share of voice for “Hotel” (#1 position)
-
19% share for “Boutique Hotel” (#1)
-
21% share for “Hotels with Pool” (#1)
-
17% share for “Best Hotel” (#2, behind only Four Seasons)
-
-
Multi-Channel Advertising
We ran PPC and meta-search campaigns that complemented organic growth, driving strong ROAS while keeping ad spend efficient.
The Results
Their ongoing SEO support, PPC advertising, and website services have helped improve our conversion rates while reducing the customer acquisition costs. They successfully transformed a stalled website redesign project into a beautiful, user-friendly site that has increased direct bookings in half the time and at less cost than previous providers. They are a true partner dedicated to their client's success and long-term growth.
