SEO refers to the techniques travel content marketers use to raise the rankings of their content in search engine results pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These techniques, of course, are not written on a gold screed somewhere. Search engines such as Google constantly tweak and alter their own algorithms. Mastering SEO for travel blogs requires you to stay closely tuned in to current best practices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Tiqets team began to hew closely to SEO strategy, McGarry notes, the blog content ranked higher and higher in search results. In recent months, Tiqets has&nbsp;achieved a 9,000% increase in organic traffic compared to when the blog team started focusing on travel blog SEO just two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know what you\u2019re thinking: How did they do it? Here are 10 best practices Tiqets currently uses to increase SEO rankings for travel blog posts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #1: Do your keyword research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the most basic level, travel blog SEO efforts come down to keyword research. Ask yourself: What keywords and phrases do people in your target audience use when they\u2019re searching for travel-related topics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many tools available for keyword research, including the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/analytics\/keywordmagic\/start\"> Semrush Keyword Magic Tool<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/kwfinder.com\/\">KWFinder<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/ads.google.com\/intl\/en_us\/getstarted\/?subid=us-en-ha-awa-bk-c-cca!o3~CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94z9pT09ZK9tOqvgK2K9qQ5Ikbb-tCGe7wcABLz4WhOJnFyLXVhW4zmBoCGCcQAvD_BwE~76351054006~kwd-128965020~6466339383~445804224657&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAp8iMBhAqEiwAJb94z9pT09ZK9tOqvgK2K9qQ5Ikbb-tCGe7wcABLz4WhOJnFyLXVhW4zmBoCGCcQAvD_BwE&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\">Google Keyword Planner<\/a>. They\u2019ll give you straightforward industry data on what keywords are popular and how often they\u2019re being searched.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keyword research results typically look something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/TRFQnvwZlDo7iqmeRIUb0sSm-YRWJZZ2wBGJ0URJ_MSAtAgBt3m1jnpTlGhQJ6T9NfDs9COdtpAAMw_oHfUJZjucWVbYS8IibgPc-TN15OFgbcmP0rsQg2RK7drmJ2ncD19YEAhZ\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArt museum in Paris\u201d is the search term, and from the results, you can see that between 1,000 to 10,000 people a month typically conduct this search on Google. This hasn\u2019t changed much year over year, and the competition for this term is \u201clow,\u201d which makes it a good keyword to write content about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the bottom of the list, \u201cParis art gallery\u201d is getting fewer searches, and the competition on that one is \u201cmedium,\u201d which means it has less potential to rank well in Google \u2014 and fewer people are searching for that term in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get the hang of reading keyword research results, it\u2019s time to think about the people doing the actual searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #2: Understand user intent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing keywords, relevance is an important factor. You can\u2019t choose a keyword just because it\u2019s got a lot of search potential if it doesn\u2019t actually fit what you\u2019re writing about and who you\u2019re writing for. \u201cThe most important thing to consider when choosing keywords for your blog content is knowing the intent of the user,\u201d says McGarry. \u201cGoogle is an intent-based search engine and doesn\u2019t just put something at the top because of the keyword alone. It really wants to know what people want and bring them to the right topic.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, your keyword research might reveal that a lot of people are searching for the phrase \u201ctrip to Italy,\u201d but what you may not realize is that <em>Trip to Italy<\/em> is also the name of a movie.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/ym1dnXkK4EG9sv9YyJMtkxSZaS47-9bcANY_cwNoho_QjXqbjh4LIDuvyhVtdc15acu0XoHkIIaCNhFnY5noUT1WKaZtjOtoqElhu6hg1RIX4vq-k4HU8H9ZT2Gl5-q8szroIiay\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you start peppering your content with this phrase, it may raise your status in search results, but your page is not what people are necessarily looking for. Before you choose a final list of keywords to write about, always ask yourself, \u201cWill writing about this keyword satisfy the intent of the person reading it?\u201d The answer to this is partly simple subjective intuition, but you can also search for that keyword and look at what other types of results come up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: <\/strong>Use the massively popular forum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/\">Reddit <\/a>to get a sense of what people are talking about and what they expect when they search for certain keywords.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #3: Use keywords strategically and in various ways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To give your blog post the best chance of ranking in Google, make sure you include your keyword in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The title of your blog post<\/span><br>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The meta title and description of your blog post, which are two important \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d fields Google and other search engines rely upon to initially filter out blogs and websites for keywords<\/span><br>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The body copy of the post itself; feature the keyword, but without using it so much that your post becomes both unreadable and a huge red flag for search engines<\/span><br>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Consistently in the top half of your body copy, and specifically in the first few paragraphs<\/span><br>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\">In some of your subheads throughout the post<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: <\/strong>More variety in your keyword use makes your content both more fun to read and more interesting to search engines. For instance, if you\u2019re writing about a venue in New Orleans, this type of keyword research can give you ideas for different ways to write:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/UJhbNzrKaruWF18JJLJS8C3e7-WIEUvfDebUGiCseqccPl70aIp_Q2lmgzU_uQktevkH3SsJh8O1zxjmB2bIJbBuSrtJKAmym37eX0ObODoJET-aE0B02uUp7HAJ8Uf8S9SAjiRT\" width=\"440\" height=\"395\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t just write about \u201cfacts about New Orleans.\u201d Write about \u201cfun facts\u201d and \u201chistory facts\u201d and \u201cinteresting facts\u201d and \u201ccreepy facts\u201d \u2013&nbsp;and don\u2019t forget about \u201clegends.\u201d If you pay enough attention to keywords, your blog posts start to write themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #4: Write to satisfy keyword demand <em>and<\/em> human curiosity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you start to sprinkle keywords everywhere, know this: It\u2019s a mistake to focus exclusively on the number of times you can squeeze the right keywords into your copy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re only writing for search engine algorithms and not for real humans, people will find your page, but not want to read it. In fact, both search engines and people have gotten smart enough to recognize when a blog is attempting to game the system with \u201ckeyword stuffing,\u201d and neither will put up with it. When it comes to your human readers, make sure you\u2019re using the keywords as a jumping off point to real, authentic content they want to read.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #5: Not too long, not too short, but just right<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, search engines respond better to more words. \u201cIt\u2019s tough to get anywhere with a 500-word blog post,\u201d says McGarry. \u201cWe always try to concentrate on the length of each post and offer more information than competitors already in first position.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that McGarry talks about \u201cmore information,\u201d not \u201cmore keywords.\u201d Again, a 10,000-word blog about \u201chow to rent a bike in Amsterdam\u201d will only rank and stay high in search results if the writing is actually useful and relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, it can be easier than you might think to write 10,000 words about \u201chow to rent a bike in Amsterdam.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bootsnall.com\/articles\/renting-a-bike-in-amsterdam.html\">The current #1 post <\/a>ranking for this phrase is over 12,000 words long, and it\u2019s pretty interesting! It\u2019s also illustrated by a lot of pictures, and it\u2019s formatted well to break up the lengthy text (more on that in the next tip).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, McGarry says, \u201cThere\u2019s never too much information on a travel subject \u2013&nbsp;as long as it\u2019s useful and relevant to the person trying to search their query.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #6: Focus on formatting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos, graphics, embedded videos, maps, infographics, FAQs, and other types of supplemental visuals and information can help break up a longer text. Use these types of assets both to add value for readers <em>and<\/em> to make the post more pleasing to the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you can make your blog post easy to read, <em>nice<\/em> to read, and scannable, with the best visuals, it makes a huge difference,\u201d says McGarry. \u201cDon\u2019t just pick standard stock photos off the internet. Try to use high-quality visuals that give people a sense of inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blog posts, no matter their length, should be easy to scan and read, with clear titles and structuring. Formatting blog posts well means they get read more often and more fully, which in turn increases your search rankings even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #7: Optimize the load time of your page<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The flip side of a really visually stunning page is that a lot of visuals and widgets can make the page load much slower. Always optimize your code so pages load as quickly as possible. Make sure your images are low or medium resolution and aim for dimensions of no more than 1920&#215;1080 or 500kb in file size per image.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of tools on the web for testing your page speed, such as<a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/speed\/pagespeed\/insights\/\"> Google\u2019s PageSpeed Insights<\/a>. Also, in case images don\u2019t load quickly \u2013&nbsp;and to make your page accessible, for instance, to the visually impaired \u2013&nbsp;always include alt tags on every image.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip: <\/strong>While you\u2019re at it, get your keywords into those alt tags (as long as they&#8217;re relevant).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #8: Aim to become the #1 source for _________<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to \u201cget good\u201d at SEO is to focus on strategic themes. Going back to tip #1, your keyword research can inform you just how competitive a term is. If a term is getting tons of searches, but it\u2019s also incredibly competitive, it\u2019s much harder to rank. For instance, if you\u2019re trying to rank high for \u201cbest museum in Paris\u201d and you\u2019re not of the ilk of the Louvre, the Mus\u00e9e des Arts et M\u00e9tiers, or the Centre Pompidou, it\u2019s a bit of an upstream struggle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-20-at-14.18.20-1024x555.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-20-at-14.18.20-1024x555.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-20-at-14.18.20-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-20-at-14.18.20-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-20-at-14.18.20-1536x833.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-20-at-14.18.20-111x60.png 111w, https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Screenshot-2021-12-20-at-14.18.20.png 1546w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There may be a more specific place in the SEO hall of fame for you. Find a niche, low-competition keyword that\u2019s appropriate for your blog, and you have a theme you can run with. For instance, the more specific search \u201cbest fashion museum Paris\u201d brings up a different set of choices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/aM5WlBigmxM5s-y2AovEUxIQKWKoYOIq0ifSs-sO63tkbclk4OCrPtjZ6yvg1DigAndukfzwjAmN6lWev1O4b46j3oSSK4Sa4F7xOispi-_cB_zR_JWA3YA9lGWjw14CfvqJKnn_\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the Mus\u00e9e Yves Saint Laurent Paris and the Louis Vuitton Foundation, it makes far more sense to focus on promoting the phrase \u201cbest fashion museum in Paris\u201d and similar keywords.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your museum or attraction might have something that no other attraction has. Perhaps you\u2019re the expert source on tap water in Beijing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebeijinger.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/12\/weird-weekend-beijing-tap-water-museum\">real place<\/a>) or the owner of the most British lawnmowers throughout history (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lawnmowerworld.co.uk\/\">also, strangely, real<\/a>). Or perhaps your museum or attraction is less <em>thematic <\/em>but still has something original and interesting going for it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are, there\u2019s a subject you can write about that is heavily searched but still up for grabs in terms of keywords and SEO competition. Seize your spot!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I think about what to write and post about,\u201d says McGarry, \u201cthis is my number one aim \u2014&nbsp;to be the number one source on whatever it is we\u2019re talking about. If you can say you\u2019re the best on whatever topic you\u2019re writing about, you\u2019re most of the way there to making sure people are reading it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #9: Post consistently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that you\u2019re even reading this suggests you\u2019re serious about SEO. But one of the biggest patterns in blog posting is initial enthusiasm followed by a flatline of zero activity. Positioning your website as the subject-matter expert on creepy facts about New Orleans, or how to rent a bike in Amsterdam, or whatever your thing may be, means posting regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRegularly\u201d doesn\u2019t necessarily mean frequently. Do what you can do without sacrificing the quality or consistency of your blog content. If you\u2019re low on time or resources, always prioritize quality, even if it means you\u2019re only posting once or twice a month. The more time and resources you have, the more often you can post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut what\u2019s ideal?\u201d you may be wondering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO guru<a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/5-simple-steps-thatll-help-you-determine-how-often-you-need-to-blog\/\"> Neil Patel says<\/a> there is no magic number of posts per day, week, month, or year: \u201cHigh-quality content matters and you can\u2019t afford to push out tons of low-quality posts every day.\u201d On the other hand, he notes, Google does rank newer content higher a lot of the time, so you want to keep your blog fresh. But one way to do this is to revise content that\u2019s already live to make it even better, which brings us to our next tip&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEO tip #10: Analyze and optimize<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A critical mistake small, beleaguered travel content teams make is to write blog posts with keywords and algorithms in mind, but forget to check back and see if those efforts worked. SEO is a puzzle. In fact, this was an early mistake the team at Tiqets made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following current best practices is only part of it; you also have to analyze your metrics. How you do so depends on what tools you use to post content, but there are plenty of analytical tools available on the market, both built into your content-publishing tools and supplemental to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the SEO analytics tools we now use at Tiqets:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kwfinder.com\/\">KWFinder<\/a> \u2013 initial keyword research<\/span><br>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/analytics\/keywordmagic\/start\">Semrush Keyword Magic Tool<\/a> \u2013 tracking live blogs<\/span><br>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/search.google.com\/search-console\/about\">Google Search Console<\/a> \u2013\u00a0tracking how our SEO is doing, specifically in terms of where we\u2019re doing well and which keywords we haven\u2019t used enough<\/span><br>&#8211; <span style=\"color:#1c2d51\" class=\"has-inline-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/\">Yoast SEO<\/a> \u2013\u00a0a plug-in for any WordPress blog that ensures you hit every point on the SEO checklist<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have a checklist on every blog post that goes out to make sure our posts have the most opportunity from the get-go,\u201d says McGarry. \u201cWe don\u2019t have to do a lot of optimization later on, just small tweaks here and there. This was a huge step for us in giving our blog posts an opportunity to do well.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tweaks he refers to include going back to the metrics and seeing where you could have taken more advantage of certain keywords and techniques, and where small changes in new blog posts and already-published posts could boost search rankings. Note that Google takes some time to start tracking how people are using your posts and how long they\u2019re staying on your page. Once that \u201cinitial analysis period\u201d is over, you can start making those small tweaks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You have arrived: Mastery of SEO for travel blogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a lot of very specific information, but if you treat it like a checklist, you\u2019ll be at the top of the search results in no time. It\u2019s happened for Tiqets, and it can happen for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For newbies on the SEO scene, McGarry offers this last advice: \u201cThe most important thing? Don\u2019t give up. One of our biggest learnings is that it might take two to three months and maybe longer for content to start ranking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your checklist, write as often as you can without sacrificing quality, be smart about how you format copy and how you use keywords, and track your progress, and McGarry says, \u201cYou\u2019ll soon squeeze the SEO juice out of your posts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For more good ideas on how to write great content for your travel blog, check out\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiqets.com\/partner-program\/blog\/travel-blog-content-tips\/\">5 Travel Blog Content Tips<\/a> from the Successful Site TheBetterVacation.com.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent months, Tiqets has achieved a 9,000% increase in organic traffic compared to when the blog team started focusing on travel blog SEO.
