Charlotte local marketing for 33 million visitors and a full sports calendar.
Charlotte drew 33 million visitors in fiscal 2025. Add PGA Tour golf in May, ACC football in December and a bowl game after it, and the city's demand runs on dates you can plan around.
The Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority reported 33 million visitors and $9.1 billion in direct visitor spending in fiscal 2025. The calendar behind those numbers is easy to read. The Truist Championship brings the PGA Tour to Quail Hollow Club in May. Festival in the Park fills Freedom Park in September, as it has since 1964, alongside the Yiasou Greek Festival in Dilworth. The ACC Football Championship Game and the Duke's Mayo Bowl both come to Bank of America Stadium in December. Panthers, Hornets and Charlotte FC home games add a weekly rhythm.
For restaurants, hotels, bars, parking and retail, every one of those dates belongs in the plan. Ad schedules, budgets and Business Profile posts with event hours should be set weeks ahead, not adjusted after a quiet Saturday. American Airlines, one of the city's largest employers, keeps a steady flow of business travelers moving through, and they choose from the map on their phones.
Home services work differently. Charlotte's newcomers choose providers from search results and reviews, so a complete Google Business Profile, a review request after every job and replies within a day carry most of the load. Google Ads targeted to the neighborhoods and towns you actually serve fill the gaps. Local marketing starts from $575 a month, depending on complexity, with ad spend paid directly to the platform, and reports show calls by campaign.
