Pro Tips & Insights
01
Compounding operational authority is key. Content published in Week 02 ranks 3x higher in Week 13 than content published in Week 10 due to accumulated internal link equity and topical relevance.
02
Internal links are the 'PageRank' of a pSEO site for hospitality. An orphan page (zero incoming links) will struggle to rank, irrespective of content quality.
03
Keyword intent for hospitality businesses is paramount. A keyword with 50 searches but high 'Booking Intent' or 'Solution Intent' is 10x more valuable than a 5,000 search 'Definition' term.
04
Content cadence is a ranking signal. Search engines learn your publishing rhythm. Consistently publishing 10 high-quality operational guides per week is often more effective than a large, infrequent batch.
