At Motion Creative Studio, we are passionate about helping brands rise above the noise and shine online. Our recent collaboration with the luxurious Blue Wave Hotel in Himarë, Albania, is a perfect example of how strategic marketing across Google and social media can transform visibility into real bookings — and measurable success.
The Challenge
Located just a few steps from the pristine waters of the Albanian Riviera, Blue Wave Hotel offers breathtaking sea views, modern comfort, and an unforgettable guest experience.
However, despite its premium facilities and picturesque location, the hotel faced a challenge common among boutique properties — low online visibility and limited direct bookings compared to competitors dominating Google and social media searches.
That’s where our team stepped in.
Our Winning Strategy
We developed a 360° marketing campaign tailored to boost Blue Wave Hotel’s digital presence through precision targeting, stunning visuals, and data-driven performance optimization.
1. Google Search & Local SEO Optimization
Our first step was strengthening the hotel’s presence on Google Search and Maps.
We optimized its Google Business Profile, ensuring accurate information, captivating visuals, and local keyword integration such as “beachfront hotel Himarë” and “best hotel on the Albanian Riviera.”
Positive guest reviews were encouraged and promptly managed, enhancing credibility and local ranking.
Within weeks, the property climbed significantly in Google search results — with a 60% increase in direct clicks from organic and map searches.

2. Google Ads Campaign
We launched a data-driven Google Ads strategy targeting travelers searching for luxury accommodations in Albania and neighboring regions.
Using advanced audience targeting and smart bidding, the campaign reached high-intent audiences actively planning vacations in Himarë.
This led to a surge in direct website bookings and stronger seasonal occupancy rates.

3. Social Media Storytelling
We turned Blue Wave Hotel’s social media into a storytelling platform that celebrated its elegance and serenity.
Through professional photography, engaging videos, and user-generated content, we built a community around the brand.
Campaigns like “Wake Up by the Waves” and “Your Riviera Escape Starts Here” not only captured the hotel’s atmosphere but also boosted engagement by 120%.
Each post was designed to lead users directly to the official website for seamless booking — connecting awareness with conversion.

4. Retargeting and Conversion Funnel
To ensure no potential guest was left behind, we implemented a smart retargeting strategy.
Visitors who explored the site but didn’t book were shown subtle reminder ads featuring seasonal offers like “Early Bird Discounts” or “Free Breakfast Packages.”
This helped reduce abandoned sessions by 35% and improved conversion rates significantly.

The Blue Wave Hotel campaign became one of our most successful case studies to date, proving how data, creativity, and consistency can drive real business growth.

+120% increase in organic website traffic
