MASSAGE PHNOM PENH | GET MORE CUSTOMERS USING GOOGLE ADS

The fastest way to rank your spa’s website on the first page of Google and starting getting leads is to buy keywords through Google Ads.

 

Cost-per-click (CPC) for massage related keywords in 2022 varies depending on how many businesses pay for it. Since several keywords are required to drive enough traffic and leads, you can can end up paying between $100 and  $300 per month for Google Ads.

With Google Ads,  your competitors can also buy the same keywords and position themselves above you. Often, OTA’s like  Trip Advisor/Viator are paying ads  to get a dominant position on the first page of Google.

Travel Advisor/Viator, travel blogs are on the top of the search results for “phnom penh massage” on Google and are getting clicks

While Phnom Penh spas’ websites are visually appealing, they are not optimized for search engines, that is why none are ranking on the top of Google and that Google Ads is often used to drive traffic.

 

As of 2022, no spa’s website is ranking on the top 3 of Google for popular searches like “phnom penh massage” or “massage phnom penh“. Most of the clicks are going to platforms such as Trip Advisor/Viator.

In the long run, getting direct bookings from Google is more sustainable than paying for Google Ads. With SEO services,  you can stay on page 1 for months or even years, increasing your business’s visibility and brand recognition.

    SIEM REAP MASSAGE | GET MORE CUSTOMERS USING GOOGLE ADS

    You can rank very quickly in Google by buying keywords through Google Ads.

    To drive traffic to their websites, 4 spas are paying for Google Ads (also known as pay-per-click campaigns) in 2022 which is similar than 2018 but with 80% less tourist. We expect to see more spa paying for ads in 2022 and therefore increasing CPC ( Cost-Per-Click).

    In 2018,  the   CPC  for massage related keywords in 2018 ranged from USD 1 to USD 1.5. Since several keywords are required to drive traffic to your website, you will have to pay $200 to $300 per month for Google Ads.

    With Google Ads,  your competitors can also buy the same keywords and position themselves above you if they pay more. Companies like Trip Advisor/Viator always pay ads to be at the top of Google’s search results. More than 90% of people do not click on Google Ads and prefer to go down the page to organic results.

    SEO FOR SPA BUSINESSES | GET CUSTOMERS WITHOUT  GOOGLE ADS

    SEO services in Siem Reap can help you get customers without spending a lot of money on Google Adwords. In digital marketing, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which helps websites rank higher.

    You should appear as many relevant keywords as possible on the first page and even within the top three which get the bulk of the clicks.

    On Google, you’ll often find Trip Advisor, Viator, and Travefish at the top of the search results for “siem reap massage”.  These are very authoritative websites trusted by Google that is why they tend to rank higher than non-optimized websites. With SEO however, it is possible to place your website ahead of them on the page results.

    Siem reap spa’s websites are visually appealing, but are not optimized for search engines, which is why they rank on the bottom of page 1 or page 2.

    More than 10% of the massage spas in Siem Reap do not have a website and rely on Facebook and Trip Advisor to attract customers online.

    In 2022 and since we first published this blogpost at the end of 2018, there is not single  website ranking on the top 3 of Google with  popular searches like  “siem reap massage” or ” siem reap spa“.

    The long term advantage of receiving direct bookings from Google is that it is much more sustainable than paying for Google Ads or Trip Advisor. With SEO services, your site can stay on page 1 for many months, even years, and increase your business’ visibility and branding.

     SPAS IN SIEM REAP | A BRIEF INTRODUCTION

    With more than 2.5 million visitors a year in 2019, Siem Reap, gateway to the temples of Angkor, saw a surge in the number of siem reap massage shops and spas in the last 5 years alone. There has been also a shift from cheap  to more expensive massage treatments in luxury spas.

    In October 2018, we listed  about 15 standalone luxury spas in Siem Reap  and possibly another 15 in  high-end hotels. In 2019, we listed less spas in Phnom Penh than in Siem Reap and the trend is still the same in 2022.

    Many  treatments are offered in these spas:  Khmer, Ayurvedic, Balinese, Swedish, Thai, hot stone, foot, herbal hot compress massages. Available also are body wraps with aloe vera, avocado, mango.

     

    MARKET SNAPSHOT | SIEM REAP MASSAGE

     

    End 2018 – March 2020

     

    Few  luxury spas in Siem Reap found it difficult to find customers  offered deep discounts (30 to 50%) in a permanent basis. Others relied on travel agencies to fill out their bookings.

    Trip Advisor is a good source of booking but the competition is fierce with close to 150 businesses alone  listed in the Spas & Wellness category in 2019. It it also  very difficult to stay on  the first page because of the inconsistency of Trip Advisor  review system. Your visibility will be drastically improved if you join  Trip Advisor Experiences (Viator product) but comes with a  20% commission fee…

     

     

    March 2020 – December 2021

    The pandemic had a dramatic impact on massages and spas in Siem Reap  and on the whole hospitality industry. Few businesses tried to stay open  following safe practices (temperature checks and the use of hand sanitizer upon check-in), but finally all spa venues shut down due to the lack of customers by the end of March 2020. All of them stopped their digital marketing activities as well.

    After Cambodia opened to vaccinated travellers in November 2021, few massage shops opened, relying heavily on word-of-mouth amongst locals and Facebook advertising.

     

    January 2022 till now

    Many massages and spas reopened  and in  June 2022, we listed more than 20 standalone spas in operation in Siem Reap, which is close to the number of spa businesses  before covid. However, the big difference with 2019 is that the number of tourists in Siem Reap is now  less than 10%  to what it was before covid!

    In 2022, more than ever, a responsive website with well-researched content and a solid digital marketing strategy including SEO will be critical to getting customers online.

    SPA PACKAGES SIEM REAP

     

    It is quite common among the spas in Siem Reap that spa packages with good value for the money  are offered mixing different treatments:

    Traditional massage and facial

    Body wrap and body massage

    Body scrub and body massage

    Foot massage and facial

    Traditional Khmer massage and spa bath

     

    SIEM REAP SPA | FAQ’S

    what is traditional Khmer massage? (Khmer massage description)

    If it is your first time in a spa in Cambodia, it is likely that you did not experience traditional Khmer massage before but that you are familiar with Thai massage.

    Both massages are not using oil but the technique between Thai massage and Khmer massage is  quite different.  Thai massage is based on yoga stretches where as Khmer massage uses more trigger and acupressure points. Usually the massage therapist uses more strength for Thai massage than Khmer massage.

    It is usually quite difficult to find a Thai massage in Siem Reap.

    what is a day spa?

    A day spa is different from a beauty salon if it has facilities like a sauna, steam room, or pool.

    Day spas do not offer overnight accommodation. This is the difference between a destination spa and a day spa. A destination spa may offer similar services, including diet and exercise plans, wellness instruction, fitness coach or yoga classes.
