## The Evolution of C Lazy U's Digital Marketing Strategy

Ten years ago, C Lazy U Ranch faced a turning point. Brady found himself in need of a digital marketing partner as their previous resources were no longer sufficient to meet their growing needs. This led to their partnership with Fruition, a Colorado-based digital marketing agency, which was recommended by their PR company.

Brady highlights that this partnership has been pivotal in driving traffic to the ranch's website, which serves as the main funnel for bookings.

## Core Marketing Strategies and Their Impact

A cohesive marketing plan is essential, and for C Lazy U Ranch, it starts with SEO. The ranch's website acts as the lifeblood of their business, and Fruition helps ensure that the site functions smoothly, optimizing it with the right keywords and content to attract potential guests. Additionally, they manage various paid campaigns on Google and social media platforms to boost visibility and engagement.

Brady emphasizes the importance of their PPC campaigns, noting that these have been especially effective in generating immediate business. With the ability to adjust campaigns on short notice, Fruition has consistently helped the ranch achieve impressive returns on investment, often 5x to 10x of their ad spend.

## The Importance of Team Expertise and Collaboration
