What Magnetic Strategy is

Magnetic Strategy is a digital marketing agency built only for vacation rental property managers. Our main goal is to help clients get more direct bookings through their own website. That means less money paid in OTA fees to sites like Airbnb, Vrbo and Booking.com, and a direct line to guests.

We work with everyone from owners with one cabin or beach house to property management companies with hundreds of homes.

Services

1. Direct booking websites: Websites built so guests book straight with the property manager instead of through Airbnb, Vrbo or other OTAs.
2. Web design and development: Custom vacation rental websites, mostly built on WordPress.
3. Booking engine integration: Websites that pull properties, rates and availability straight from the client's property management system (PMS).
4. Search engine optimization (SEO): Vacation rental SEO to rank in Google and show up in AI search answers.
5. Email marketing: Campaigns that bring past and future guests back to book direct.
6. Pay-per-click (PPC) ads: Paid search and social campaigns that send guests to the booking site.
7. Organic social media: Social media management to build brand awareness.
8. Copywriting and blogging: Website copy, landing pages and travel blog posts by travel writers.
9. Property descriptions: Listing copy that helps each rental stand out.
