Content Marketing built specifically for hotels & b&bs. A content engine that ranks, earns links and keeps selling for years — planned around your season. Grow direct bookings and cut the commission you pay the OTAs. We already know how buyers in this trade search, which quotes get compared, and which pages turn a search into a phone call — so the plan starts from that rather than from a generic checklist.

- Trade-specific challenge: OTAs occupy generic accommodation searches and bid on your brand name.

- Where content marketing fits: Content published with no strategy behind it — a blog that wanders from topic to topic and builds authority on none of them.
- Typical deliverable for hotels & b&bs: Brand-term defence and a direct-booking incentive strategy

Our approach
How we build the campaign
1. Discovery
We learn your best jobs, your margins and the towns you actually want to work in — then build the plan around those, not vanity keywords.
2. Audit & baseline
Technical crawl, Google Business Profile review, competitor gap analysis and an AI visibility baseline across four assistants.
3. Foundations
Fix what's broken: site speed, indexing, schema, citations and profile completeness. This is where the early wins come from.
4. Content & authority
Service, town and industry pages written properly, plus local links and reviews that make them rank.
5. Report & refine
One monthly report in plain English: rankings, calls, form fills and what we're doing next. No 40-page PDFs.

Fire safety, food hygiene and licensing
The Fire Safety (England) Regulations and a current fire risk assessment apply to all guest accommodation, food hygiene ratings must be displayed for breakfast service, and alcohol service needs a premises licence. Publishing your hygiene rating, accessibility information and fire-safety compliance reassures guests and feeds structured data that helps you appear in AI travel recommendations.

- Apr–SepPeak occupancy; the SEO job shifts to reducing OTA commission on direct bookings.
- Oct–FebShoulder and winter breaks — dog-friendly, cosy, spa and short-break terms carry real volume now.

Content Marketing for hotels & b&bs: common questions
Is content marketing worth it for hotels & b&bs?
Only if it produces enquiries, which is why we scope it against your job values. A content engine that ranks, earns links and keeps selling for years — planned around your season. For hotels & b&bs, that usually means fewer, better pages targeted at the jobs you actually want, rather than broad traffic that never converts.
How do you tailor content marketing to hotels & b&bs?
By using your own service, pricing and compliance detail as the raw material. Feature-specific pages: dog friendly, hot tub, parking, family rooms, accessible That specificity is what separates a page that ranks from one that reads like every competitor's.
Which locations do you cover for hotels & b&bs?
Cumbria in depth plus twenty UK cities including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Bristol. Each location gets its own page, so you appear in the map packs that matter instead of one generic service area.
What's the difference between content marketing and SEO content writing?
SEO content writing is the craft of the individual piece. Content marketing is the programme around it — strategy, production, distribution, guest posts and link earning, all working to one plan.
Are guest posts and link insertions safe for SEO?
Yes when they're done editorially on real sites with real readers — which is all we do. We don't touch link farms, PBNs or paid placement networks.
How much content do we need each month?
For most Cumbrian businesses, two to four substantial pieces a month plus one PR or placement activity. Consistency beats volume every time.
