By Bob Johnson, Director of Marketing Great Alaskan Holidays

Great Alaskan Holidays (www.greatalaskanholidays.com) is Alaska's largest RV Rental, Sales, and Service company.  Now celebrating over 40 years, Great Alaskan Holidays has become known as the most reputable and proven motorhome rental company in Alaska, attracting customers from over 100 different countries around the world, and all 50 of the United States. 

In the summer of 2025, after completing a series of qualifying interviews, Great Alaskan Holidays was selected by Google (www.google.com) to be featured in their brand new small business series, 'Proudly-Owned Stores by Google Small Business'.  Google's new 'Proudly-Owned' series is a content initiative launched by Google Small Business to celebrate the personal stories behind small businesses and highlights how Google's digital tools such as Google Ads and Analytics have helped these entrepreneurs grow their companies. 

The series emphasizes the passion and commitment required to own a small business, showcasing real-world examples of how owners turn their passion projects into thriving enterprises that support their families and communities.  After completing these extensive and in-depth interviews conducted by the Google Creative Marketing Team and the production company Where The Buffalo Roam (https://wtbr.tv), Great Alaskan Holidays was selected as one of only a few businesses nationwide to be highlighted within their overall Google campaign as those most effectively and efficiently utilizing, and showcasing the use of, Google assets. 

“Across the country, more than 90% of businesses are small-owned, and they employ nearly 50% of all workers.  To be featured by Google in their Proudly-Owned series is a significant honor for Great Alaskan Holidays, and certainly a notable milestone in the company’s history”, says Bob Johnson, the firm’s Director of Marketing.  “Their Search, P-Max, video ads, and AI tools, along with Google Analytics 4, are assets we couldn’t survive without.  Not only for our daily operations, but also for the high-level of customer satisfaction we strive towards non-stop, year-round”.     

This is not the first time Great Alaskan Holidays has been highlighted by Google.  In 2017, Great Alaskan Holidays was selected as the only Alaskan business to be featured in their annual Google Economic Impact Report (EIC), with a company representative from each of the 50 U.S. states invited into their Mountain View, California headquarters.  In addition, Great Alaskan Holidays was Google's guest as an Alumni participant at their Washington, D.C. location in 2021.
