How a Global Hospitality Brand Created 5x Content for 800 Unique Pages

A global hospitality brand needed to create more authoritative content for their 800 hotel locations. 

In order for their content to be truly authoritative, the company’s writers conducted research for every unique hotel location, learning about local attractions and neighborhood history to write their content.

Despite their creative writing capabilities, the team encountered challenges not only with the scalability, but also the consistency of a process like this—without a consistent workflow and everyone doing their own research on 800 different hotel locations, the content would be left to human error and various knowledge gaps. 

This prompted the company to investigate how they could bypass the amount of research required to be authoritative and create hyper-local content.

Gathering the Best Keywords to Meet Search Demand

When analyzing their traffic data for one of the brand’s specific hotels located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, the SEO manager discovered the location was ranking for high value keywords at low rank positions. 

One such high value search query this hotel was positioned to rank for was “River North hotels”, a localized search term targeting the specific area in the city.

Following through with one of seoClarity’s keyword research workflows, the SEO manager sought to determine what other terms might be missing from the brand’s current content. 

They theorized that optimizing the content around similarly positioned terms for the hotel brand would help build the authority the page needed for their content. 

The challenge of doing this at scale was what the brand sought out to solve. 

Evaluating Content Analysis Tools

For the purpose of comparison, they first wanted to test the recommendations, results, and analysis from different tools in the marketplace. 

They tested seoClarity’s Content Fusion compared to MarketMuse and the Searchmetrics Content Experience tool and applied to different hotel locations in different market areas. 

Unprecedented Insights Gained from Content Fusion

They started with the Chicagoland area since the team was most familiar based on their knowledge of this market. A hotel in River North was their first test. 

While the other systems suggested generic terms like “hotels” and “pools” to optimize the content for the River North hotel location, the Suggested Topics analyzed and reported from Content Fusion was the only technology to uncover terms that most accurately reflected topics that a local hotel company in the River North area would include on their page to help their users with choosing that location. 

Here are the results:

Suggested topics included local attractions, specific hotel amenities, and other ways of speaking about the area. These details were so niche, the company wanted to test this with other hotel locations.

For the brand’s Nob Hill location in San Francisco, Content Fusion provided the content team again with very specific terms and phrases about the hotels in the area, specific landmarks familiar with people knowledgeable about the area (e.g. Stanford Court, Union Square). This armed them with insights they would only know if they were a local resident or if they spent hours researching the area.

Trying an international location, the team looked at suggested topics for a brand in Soho, London. The results again proved to be unparalleled to any other content optimization tool on the market by again sharing suggested topics to include within that brand’s content

The results included other hotel locations in the area, activities to do while visiting Soho, area attractions, and amenities.

The last test turned up the most unique result for inclusion in the content, where the context display proved to be extremely valuable to the content team. 

For this brand’s location in Chelsea, New York, these insights led the team to research the unique aspect of Chelsea to include topics about a variety of people. They would learn these were celebrity residents of the famed Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan. 

To optimize the content, this led the team to include additional content that is a huge part of the rich history and culture in Chelsea that drives authority for the hotel and helps users that are visiting this area choose a hotel.
