PERFORMANCE MARKETING.

Liefs runs Google, Meta, Instagram, Expedia and metasearch for hotels, beach clubs and resort real estate in Mexico — with the conversion tracking to prove which channel brought the booking.

Every channel that ends in a booking.

Managed together, in one account structure, measured against the same revenue line.

Google Ads

Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen and YouTube — built around brand defence, high-intent destination search and remarketing to abandoned bookings.

Meta & Instagram

Full-funnel prospecting and retargeting, with creative tested every two weeks instead of once a season. Reels and stories treated as ad inventory, not leftovers.

Instagram to booking

Closing the gap between the audience you already have and the reservation. Profile, link path, DM flow and paid all pointed at the booking engine.

Expedia & OTA media

Sponsored listings, TravelAds and campaign timing managed as paid media — so OTA spend is a lever you control, not a commission you absorb.

Metasearch & direct

Google Hotel Ads, Trivago and Kayak bidding against your own OTA rate, to move share back to your site where the margin lives.

Conversion tracking

GA4, server-side GTM, Meta CAPI, booking-engine and CRM events, call tracking. Set up first, because everything above is guesswork without it.

Direct-booking campaigns for a small property in a destination most people discover through social — where every point of occupancy is won with creative, not budget.

Most owners can't say which channel booked the room.

Not because they don't ask. Because the measurement was never built.

What usually goes wrong

Spend is split across three platforms and an OTA line item. Tracking breaks between the website and the booking engine, so conversions land in the wrong place — or nowhere.

The monthly report becomes a screenshot of Ads Manager. Ownership sees cost, never cause, and every conversation about budget starts from zero.

How we work instead

Tracking first. Server-side events, booking-engine conversions, call and lead tracking, revenue reconciled against the PMS — before a peso moves.

Then media: one account structure across Google, Meta, Expedia and metasearch, so channels stop bidding against each other for the same guest.

And because we also shoot the property, the creative in market is ours to fix on Monday — not a request that takes six weeks.

What we do

Media is the engagement. Measurement comes with it. Production is how we keep the ads fresh.

Paid media management

Monthly retainer · the core engagement

Google, Meta, Instagram, Expedia and metasearch run as one system, weekly optimisation, monthly reporting an owner can read.

Tracking & measurement

Set-up project, then maintained

The plumbing that makes every number above defensible — built before we touch the budget.

Video and photography for performance

Quarterly production on property

Two or three days on site each quarter, shooting for the ad account first — the reason our campaigns don't fatigue.

You're in good company

Hotels, beach clubs and resort land — from pre-opening to stabilised occupancy.

The studio

Liefs Media came out of photography and moved into media because clients kept asking why beautiful pictures weren't selling rooms. The answer was usually that nobody had connected the two — or measured either one.

The team is small on purpose. You work directly with whoever runs your account, not an account manager relaying it, and creative in market gets fixed in days, not weeks.

Mexico City and Los Cabos. On property most months.
