Built by a Local, Backed by Data, Designed for Success

March Trends & Opportunities

  • Demand is shifting toward outdoor and dog-friendly spaces - If your business has a patio, lakeside seating, or outdoor vibe, this is the time to promote it. Seasonality is working in your favor.

  • Posts that tell a story or feature a local personality perform significantly better - "Behind-the-scenes" content drove the highest engagement this month. These kinds of posts are powerful but easy to miss!

  • Businesses featured in our social media saw a 15–30% increase in traffic within 48 hours - Timing matters. Knowing what people are searching for and when!

Our Story:

“Things to Do at Cedar Creek Lake” started as a way to support vacation rentals—but what we discovered was bigger: Our content moves the needle for local businesses.

When we spotlight an event or restaurant, clicks follow. When we link to your page, your SEO improves. And when we run ads, they perform—because we know how to make them work for this town.

Backed by data, driven by strategy, and rooted in the community I call home!
