Coliving marketing services from a team that runs its own coliving.
We don’t just market coliving spaces. We own one. Cape Coliving in Cape Town is booked out months ahead on the same SEO, content and ads playbook we sell. So when we tell you what fills rooms with long-stay residents and digital nomads, it’s because we filled ours.
Worth $200. 20 minutes, no pitch, and you keep the notes.

Why do your rooms sit empty while nearby colivings stay full?
- Nomads search "coliving in [your city]" and find competitors, not you
- AI tools recommend other spaces when asked where to stay long-term
- Bookings come through platforms that take a cut of every long stay
- Shoulder-season months you can't fill without slashing rates
It's not a demand problem. It's a visibility problem.
The nomads who’d love your space are searching right now. If you’re not the answer in Google and Al, and the booking path isn’t friction-free, you’re renting your guests from platforms instead of owning them. We fixed exactly this on our own property, then built the playbook to fix it on yours.
Our test lab is our own property.
Every strategy we sell gets run on Cape Coliving first. Seasonality, long-stay pricing, nomad booking behaviour, OTA dependence. We deal with the same problems you do, with our own money on the line.

For hostels, apartment and house colivings, operators and property developers. Take one service or the full stack. The same team runs it either way.
SEO & Al visibility
Own “coliving in [your city]” in Google and get cited when nomads ask ChatGPT where to stay. Search is where long-stay guests start
Content that converts nomads
City guides, cost-of-living breakdowns and community stories that pull your exact resident, and hand them to the booking page
Paid ads
The small-budget playbook that booked our own property out: precise targeting, retargeting past lookers, no wasted spend.
Email & lead nurture
Enquiry follow-ups, newsletters and review requests that turn interest into long stays and past guests into repeat residents
Links, PR & influencers
Coverage on the sites and feeds nomads actually read, plus the affiliate and directory placements that send booked-out months
Web design & booking flow
A fast site with a friction-free booking path, integrated with your PMS, built to take the direct booking instead of losing it

NOT SURE WHICH ONE FITS
Start with the free 20-minute audit.
Tell us your property and where you’re stuck, and we’ll point you to consulting, coaching or the full agency, honestly, even if that means one call and nothing more.
How it works. No black box.
Audit
We start with the free 20-minute audit: where you’re losing bookings, and the next lever of growth for your property.
Plan
A campaign scoped to your goals and budget: what ships, in what order, with an honest timeline.
Execute
We run the work with monthly objectives: content, technical SEO, links, ads and email. You approve, we ship.
Report
Plain-English monthly reporting on the numbers that matter: occupancy, direct bookings, enquiries and rankings.
We track the coliving metrics that matter.
Not vanity dashboards. The three numbers that decide whether marketing is paying for itself.
Occupancy growth
Days booked, month over month, the number we grew 94% on our own property. If rooms aren’t filling, nothing else counts.
Direct booking conversion
Visitors who become residents on your site, not through a commission-taking platform you rent your guests from.
Search & Al visibility
Rankings for the searches nomads use, and citations when they ask Al where to stay in your city
What clients say about us.
Before you ask.
How do you target digital nomads effectively?
Localised content that answers what nomads actually search: cost of living, wifi speeds, visa runs, community, plus local SEO, the right directories and affiliates, and retargeting for the people who looked but didn’t book. It’s the mix that fills our own rooms.
Do you really run your own coliving?
Yes. Cape Coliving in Cape Town is owned and marketed by our team. It’s also our test lab: strategies get proven on our own occupancy before we sell them to you
How long until I see results?
Ads and retargeting can fill rooms within weeks. SEO compounds over 3 to 9 months and then keeps paying. The audit gives you an honest timeline for your property, and if ads are your fastest win, we’ll say so.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Hostels, apartment and house colivings, coliving operators and property developers. If you rent shared living space to travellers and remote workers, this is for you.
How do I choose between consulting, coaching and agency services?
Consulting is a one-off session when you need a second opinion. Coaching is ongoing guidance if you’re running marketing yourself. Agency services is when you want us to run it end to end. Tell us where you’re stuck on the free audit and we’ll point you to the right one.
What's the difference between coworking and coliving marketing?
Coworking sells a desk to locals; coliving sells a lifestyle to people moving cities. The audience, search terms and booking behaviour are completely different, which is why a generic agency’s playbook doesn’t transfer.
Let's fill your rooms months ahead.
Tell us your property and we’ll show you, on a recorded 20-minute audit, exactly where you’re losing long-stay bookings, and the three fixes to ship this week.
P.S. The audit is genuinely free, and it comes from people who fill their own coliving for a living. Worst case, you walk away with a $200 deliverable and three quick wins. Best case, you’re booked out eight months ahead like we are.
