Commonly Asked Questions
How long before we see results?
Google Ads take us 72 hours to get you up and running. Once live Google goes into a 2 week learning curve before results start to take off. We see tee time bookings and conversions within the first few days. SEO and Google Maps rankings typically show meaningful movement within 14 days, with compounding results over 6-12 months.
What if we already have a website?
Most golf course websites were built 5-10+ years ago on outdated platforms with zero SEO. We'll show you exactly what's holding you back and provide options for a modern rebuild.
Do you work with all types of golf facilities?
Yes—public courses, semi-private, private clubs, municipal courses, multi-course operators, and even indoor simulators. Each requires a different strategy, and we've done them all.
What's the investment?
Most golf courses invest $2,500-$5,000/month for comprehensive marketing (website, SEO, and ads). We'll build a custom plan based on your goals and market.
What makes you different from other agencies?
We ONLY work with golf facilities. We're not learning your industry on your dime—we've been involved with hundreds of golf course marketing plans and know exactly what works.
Will golfers be able to find us through AI search tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity?
Yes—and this is becoming critical. More golfers are using AI tools to research courses, plan golf trips, and find event venues. We optimize your content so AI search engines can accurately represent your facility when golfers ask questions like "best public golf courses near Orlando" or "golf courses with wedding venues in Central Florida." This includes structured data, clear course descriptions, and comprehensive information about your amenities, rates, and unique features. Being invisible to AI search means missing out on a growing segment of tech-savvy golfers and event planners.
