5 Topics Hotels Can Consistently Blog About

Starting a blog to complement a website and other digital marketing efforts is a great idea for hotels, yet what should their blogs be about? Consistently posting blogs about interesting topics sometimes isn't that easy. In an effort to help, let's discuss 5 topics hotels can consistently blog about to gain traction online.

1. Local Attractions and Destinations:

Local SEO is vitally important to gain attention from search engines, in order to stand out to prospective guests interested in staying in the hotel's local area. Blogging about local attractions gives hotels a large topic to draw upon when brainstorming blog ideas.

Even if the hotel is in a relatively isolated location or smaller town, there's always something to write about when it comes to local attractions or destinations. Restaurants, bars, nightclubs, concert halls, sports stadiums, race tracks, wilderness attractions, parks, historical sites, and more can be highlighted in a hotel's blog to attract local SEO and draw in bookings.

2. Guest Testimonials:

Think of an elaborate Google or Yelp review as a blog post with this topic. Hotels can offer members of their loyalty program a discount for writing a sincere testimonial of their hotel experience; this could include their experience at the hotel, the local area visited, and/or their travels in general – as long as the hotel is included, at least, in part.

These "guest blogs" may very well be more interesting than anything hotels could write themselves; they could be shared via social media, email lists, on the website, and elsewhere. Potential guests would appreciate the sincere testimonials of other guests and would be more likely to book a room. SEO would benefit too, as the topics and keywords would, likely, be very diverse.

3. Travel Tips:

Another consistent topic hotels could include in their blogs is travel tips. From whether to take a pillow on a road trip or use a solar-powered backpack on mountain hikes, this blog topic would generate a number of ideas.

General travel tips would be good for giving loyal customers and organic visitors valuable content to peruse, yet generating localized travel trips would help narrow the search to the hotel's actual area on the map. For instance, tips about how to enjoy local attractions or navigate the local area would be helpful for localized SEO purposes.

4. Hotel Amenities and Service Tips:

Don't forget about highlighting the hotel's amenities and services through blog posts as well. This is a great way to promote the hotel while providing valuable information for guests and prospective guests alike.

Instead of being overly promotional, blogs could talk about topics that pertain to the amenities and services they provide. For instance, a blog about the benefits of getting a massage, how to relax in a hot tub, how long to exercise in the morning, or when is the best time to enjoy the lounge, etc.

5. Hotel Events and Occasions:

The last topic hotels can blog about consistently is any events or special occasions being held in the hotel. Maybe a convention is being held for wildlife preservation, the hotel is celebrating an anniversary, or a new pool is being celebrated; any newsworthy occasion relating to the hotel can be blogged about.

These blog posts would be great for local SEO to attract bookings from organic search engine results, as well as to draw loyal customers back around to celebrate any special event or occasion at their favorite hotel.

Summary

Hotels can use their blogs effectively to reach new customers and retain existing ones, as long as they consistently post valuable content that search engines pick up on and their readers enjoy. These blog posts can be used on a hotel's website, social media channels, and email marketing lists, to gain traction with their holistic digital marketing efforts.

These 5 topics should help generate an endless amount of ideas for a hotel's blog; with relevant ideas, well-crafted posts, and a consistent effort, hotels will start seeing great results.

HubPages vs. Vocal

Gaining Context I opened my account at Vocal around two years ago when I published my first article. It was a syndicated article from my golf blog, which surprisingly has done better than all other articles since. Around three months ago, I decided to give Vocal a real chance with a renewed effort and by becoming a Vocal Plus member. They enticed me with half off a year’s membership ($50 for a year, usually it is $99 annually or $10/month). Since this renewed effort, I have published nine articles; six were written originally at Vocal (four were for Vocal Challenges), and the other 3 were syndicated from elsewhere. The plan for Vocal was to publish my creative writing there originally, which meant I had to switch from HubPages where these were published originally before. The distracting ads and lackluster RPM helped make this decision, although I’ve been writing on HP for over a decade. After three months of “working” Vocal, I’ve realized it isn’t worth paying the $10/month. I’ll expl

What's the Right Environment to Meet People?

Earth is a beautiful place to live with a ton of things to do, yet this doesn't mean it's an easy place to meet new people and make meaningful connections. Most everyone would agree that it would be nice to have some like-minded friends or a romantic partner to enjoy the world with, yet finding the right people to do this can be a challenge. In an effort to help, let's ask and answer the question: what's the right environment to meet people? Challenges of Making Meaningful Connections There are many different types of people living in the world, and especially in multicultural cities in America; this can make it difficult to meet the right type of people to be friends with. Basically, making friends randomly with just anyone can be a negative experience, which is why it's important to meet people that share similar views, personalities, and circumstances. This doesn't mean meeting a carbon copy of oneself, yet meeting people that can relate to you is esse

What is the Hole-in-the-Ground in Lake County, OR?

NASA used it to practice for the moon. The Hole-in-the-Ground is a large crater caused by a volcanic explosion (maar). It is an entire mile across at the furthest point and 490 ft. deep in the middle. There is another maar 8 miles west of this one that is even bigger at 1.1 miles across called the Big Hole. The elevation of this area is 4,650 ft. This massive hole is one of the many geographic attractions found in Lake County, OR. It can be found off OR-31 around the 22-mile marker. There is a sign saying Hole-in-the-Ground and another entry point saying Outback Station. Off OR-31 at the second exit, visitors will take dirt roads and come across the Outback Station, which is an RV park, before getting to the Hole-in-the-Ground Vista Point about 2 miles later. The Hole-in-the-Ground is located within the Deschutes National Forest at the western edge of the Fort Rock basin. It is located about 8 miles northwest of the town of Fort Rock and 24 miles southeast of La Pine. The Oregon Encyc
