You can, and some owners do it well. The real cost is your time: photos, captions, posts, ads and checking what worked, every week, usually after close. HospoPro does it for $399, $999 or $2,999 a month ex-GST and needs about ten minutes a week from you.
DIY looks free on paper. Here is what it costs in time, and where doing it yourself still wins.
HospoPro prices are monthly and ex-GST. On our plans, ad spend runs from your own Meta and Google ad accounts, at cost. To put a number on your own time, track your marketing hours for two weeks, then multiply by 26 for a full year.
Some owners run their own marketing well. If these are true, you may not need us yet.
The camera, the captions, the replies. If you like it and it happens every week, keep going.
In the early months, start with the free things: your Google profile, your reviews and a steady posting habit.
A manager or staff member with the know-how and paid hours set aside for it, not squeezed in after close.
The busy weeks. That is when next month should be planned, and when nobody has time to plan it.
They are free, and they matter more than one more post.
Right hours, fresh photos, a menu link and replies to reviews. It is where locals look before they book.
Pick your days and keep to them. Three good posts every week do more than ten in one week and none the next.
Bookings from last week. If you cannot see where they came from, fix that before you spend more.
They just handle it. No chasing, no fuss.
Start at $399 a month ex-GST, with your first month half price. Base keeps you posting and advertising every day. Grow brings in Google ads and a monthly email. Pro runs two focuses with $1,000 of ad spend included.
