Pro Tips & Insights
01
Compounding is paramount in tourism SEO. 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' veins of a tourism pSEO site. An orphan page (zero internal links) will never rank, regardless of content quality or keyword targeting.
03
Keyword intent trumps search volume. A keyword with 50 searches but high 'Booking Intent' (e.g., 'Last Minute Paris Hotel Deals') is 10x more valuable than a 5,000 search 'Definition' term ('What is a GDS').
04
Publishing consistency is a ranking factor. Search engines 'learn' your cadence. A steady drip-feed of 10 high-quality pages per week is often more effective than a 100-page dump on Day 01.
