ELEVATION652 FARM

Scaling a Luxury Farm Stay through Integrated Digital Infrastructure

The Introduction: Beyond the Listing

When you offer a premium escape in the heart of the King Valley, your digital presence needs to be as seamless and inviting as the stay itself. Elevation652 Farm came to Proto Designs with a world-class property but a fragmented digital footprint. Relying on high-commission third-party platforms and disconnected social channels, the brand was hidden behind “template” booking sites.

Our mission was clear: Take full control of the digital infrastructure and narrative. By rebuilding the foundation, capturing the soul of the farm through 4K visuals, and synchronising every booking touchpoint, we transformed Elevation652 from a simple accommodation listing into a fully automated, high-growth digital brand.

The Challenge: Disconnected Systems

Elevation652 faced three main hurdles that were capping their growth:
– Booking Friction: High commissions from third-party sites and a disjointed user journey.
– Inconsistent Branding: Images and information varied wildly across Airbnb, Booking.com, and Social Media.
– Management Overload: Handling guest inquiries, social engagement, and multiple booking calendars was becoming a manual, time-consuming burden for the owners.

The Build: A Unified Ecosystem

We stepped in as the “Digital Architect,” building a system where every platform talked to the others. Our goal was to move the brand from a simple “listing” to a luxury destination.

Bucket 1: The Digital Foundation (Web & Brand)

– Custom Web Redesign: A high-conversion site built around professional photography to capture the “King Valley Soul.”
– HBook Integration: We eliminated booking friction by integrating a custom engine directly into the site, syncing live with Airbnb and Booking.com to ensure zero double-bookings.
– Platform Synchronisation: We audited and cleaned up every touchpoint—Airbnb, Booking.com, and Google Business—to ensure 100% consistency in imagery and info.

Bucket 2: The Identity (Content & Social)

– On-Site Content Captures: Multiple dedicated farm visits to capture 4K video and high-res stills used across the site and socials.
– Full-Service Management: We manage Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, and successfully launched their TikTok presence.
– Community Engagement: We handle the “human” side—answering comments, responding to messages, and engaging with the local King Valley community.
– SEO Storytelling: Two blogs per month—one evergreen and one focused on local King Valley events—to drive organic search traffic.

Bucket 3: The Engine (Ads & Analytics)

– Multi-Channel Ads: Monthly Meta and Google Ads campaigns targeted at high-intent travellers.
– Offline-to-Online Growth: Custom in-room signage with QR codes to turn guests into 5-star Google reviewers and social followers instantly.
– The Pulse: Monthly transparency reports through Google Analytics and Search Console to track ROI and refine the strategy.

The “Proto” Extra Mile: Digital Operations

Beyond marketing, we manage the Operational Backend. From managing external collaborators and influencers to ensuring booking calendars are perfectly synced, we act as the “back office” so the owners can focus on the guest experience.

The Pulse: Results at a Glance

– Unified Brand: 100% consistency across 5+ digital platforms.
– Increased Profitability: Direct bookings through the website reduced reliance on high-commission third-party sites.
– High-Intent Traffic: Strategic blogging has positioned them as a top-tier stay in the King Valley region.
– Total Peace of Mind: A completely managed ecosystem where everything from ads to inquiries is handled under one roof.

The Conclusion: A Partner in the High Country

The result is a digital ecosystem that works as hard as the owners do. Elevation652 no longer just “has a website”—they have a high-performance booking engine that retains more profit and a social identity that captures the beauty of the King Valley in real-time.

By managing everything from on-site content capture to Meta Ad strategy and backend calendar synchronisation, Proto Designs provides more than just marketing; we provide peace of mind. We continue to monitor “The Pulse” through monthly analytics, ensuring that as the seasons change in the valley, the growth of Elevation652 remains constant. This is what happens when technical precision meets a passion for storytelling.
