Group business is back! Through EliteMeetings.com we’re seeing a consistent increase in meeting professionals turning to our site to gain valuable information on hotels and resorts that are suggested by their peers. As a recommended property we want to ensure you are top-of-mind when buyers are searching for a hotel in your destination.
Here are the top 8 ways to increase your online visibility:
Complimentary Tools:
Update Property Details –verify we have complete group specs on your hotel to ensure you display accurately in planner searches.
Download Your Award Logo – download the “Elite Certified” logo to your hotel website to boost your SEO, let planners know you are an Elite Certified hotel, and to display when planners search online for “Elite Meetings”.
SpeedRFP Web Form – embed a SpeedRFP web form on your hotel website to increase the quality and quantity of online RFPs from the SpeedRFP planner network. It is completely commission-free and transaction-free, and can work alongside your current form. As of late-summer it will also connect with Meeting Broker lead management systems (the connection fee is included for our partners).
Upgraded Partner Tools:
Upload packages - with a special package online your property photo and name will rotate on our homepage under “Special Packages”.
Post Group Value Dates - when you have group value dates listed your property will be visible in the “Hot Dates” section on the homepage.
Post News and Press Releases – the more content you have on your EliteMeetings.com listing, the higher your search engine optimization ranks on our search engine and main search engines like Google and Yahoo!.
Send Us Your Banner Ads – as part of your marketing program you receive targeted rotation on EliteMeetings.com. Banner specs and guidelines – http://www.elitemeetings.com/docs/banner_guide.php.
