Source: https://dijitulmarketing.co.uk/locations/york/

> York hotels, guest houses, attractions, independent shops, insurers and science park firms can use dijitul for Google Ads, social media and email marketing. We run everything remotely from Mansfield with clear monthly reports. Google Ads management is from £150 a month + VAT plus ad spend, and organic social media management from £125 a month + VAT per platform.

York's visitor economy dominates its local advertising. Millions of visitors come for the Minster, the walls and the Shambles, and hotels, guest houses, tour operators, cafés and attractions compete for them long before they arrive. Most of those searches happen in other cities: London, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle. So York tourism campaigns usually target people searching for York, wherever they are, rather than people in York. Instagram and Meta ads aimed at the cities that send most guests, plus search ads on terms such as "hotels near York Minster" or "York ghost walk", catch people while they plan.

Hospitality competes with online travel agents and booking sites for the same searches. Running ads on your own brand name, and tracking direct bookings properly through GA4 and your booking engine, can recover bookings that would otherwise go through commission. Email marketing to past guests fills quieter winter weeks between the Christmas markets and Easter.

The city has a quieter business economy too. Insurance firms such as Aviva and Hiscox, rail consultancies around the station and the York Central scheme, and bioscience and agritech firms at York Science Park market to businesses through LinkedIn, search and content. Nestlé's KitKat factory keeps confectionery in York's story, and smaller food and drink makers in the surrounding countryside need Shopping ads and email.

- Hotels and guest houses: search on place names, brand campaigns and email to past guests
- Attractions and tours: Instagram, Meta ads and seasonal campaigns
- Independent shops: Instagram, Shopping ads and gift-season email
- Rail, insurance and science firms: LinkedIn and content

All York campaigns are managed remotely from our Mansfield office.
