Broome Park Hotel in Canterbury partnered with Arise Hotel Marketing to strengthen their online visibility and grow organic traffic across their key offerings, including stays, weddings, golf, dining, and spa experiences.

While the hotel already had some presence in search, they were missing opportunities for broader discoverability, particularly for high-intent regional searches such as “hotels in Canterbury”, as well as service-led searches tied to weddings, dining, and experiences.

They needed an SEO strategy that would improve rankings, expand keyword reach, and ultimately bring more potential guests to the site.

Objectives

Our SEO campaign for Broome Park focused on three core goals:

Increase organic visibility across all services
Not just brand searches, but broader discovery terms covering accommodation, weddings, dining and golf.

Grow organic traffic from high-intent searches
Driving more users actively researching hotels in Canterbury and Kent.

Strengthen the technical and structural SEO foundation
Ensuring the website supported long-term growth, not just short-term ranking gains.

Strategy

To achieve these outcomes, we implemented a full SEO strategy tailored specifically to Broome Park’s audience, location, and commercial priorities.

Keyword Optimisation

We began with detailed keyword research across all core areas of the business. This identified opportunities beyond the obvious brand terms, including competitive regional searches and experience-led queries.

We then optimised:

  • Page titles and meta descriptions

  • Core landing page content

  • Internal linking structure

  • Heading hierarchy and topical relevance

This helped Broome Park appear more prominently for searches such as hotels in Canterbury, luxury hotels in Kent, and more.

Technical SEO Improvements

We addressed technical elements that impact how search engines crawl, understand, and rank the site.

This included:

  • Indexability checks and crawl improvements

  • Performance and usability enhancements

  • Structured data improvements

  • Strengthening page structure and content hierarchy

These changes ensured the site was technically sound and ready to support sustained growth in rankings.

Targeted Content Strategy

To expand Broome Park’s search footprint, we introduced a content approach focused on real user intent.

This included:

  • New optimised landing pages targeting key services

  • Location-driven content capturing Canterbury and Kent searches

  • Supporting content designed to build authority and internal linking strength

This helped the site rank for a much wider range of queries, bringing in visitors earlier in the decision-making process.

Results

  • Total ranking keywords increased by 85%

  • Keywords ranking in the top 3 positions increased by 39%

  • Keywords ranking on page 1 increased by 121%

  • Google impressions increased by 45%
  • Clicks from search increased by 20%

  • Hotel Canterbury – improved by 32 positions

  • Luxury hotel Canterbury Kent – now ranking position 2

  • Afternoon tea Canterbury Kent – now ranking position 2
