7. Content Overview
Looking at the site it is clear the site currently lacks a lot of content, although they are ranking well in the SERPS for some keywords. Adding new content will
ensure they can effectively target more long tail keywords as well as build up a good strong internal linking profile.
Since Google as released various updates trying to combat low quality content it would be a good idea to ensure the content is of a high quality and is of value for
the user.
The below display some simple ideas which could be developed to help create a much better content strategy.
Content Suggestions
• Videos
These could be small clips showing the best places to visit in certain breaks. They could also be videos highlighting the hotels which could give customers a better
insight into the accommodation they will be staying in.
• Interactive Guides
Look to make some simple guides which can be image and content based which people can easily download depending on the area and type of break they are
booking. These guides could be displayed as the user checks out and prints a receipt they could also be hosted on a blog.
• App
Being a holiday company you should have the best insights into the best places to eat, drink and party make a small app which again people can download and
share free of charge and allow them to find the best places nearby. You could also look at doing exclusive discounts for these places should someone book through
you.
