This webinar discussed discovering traveler intent through search and social media. It emphasized understanding audiences by developing customer personas and determining what travelers search for and discuss online. Both search and social media are important for gaining digital visibility, and content should be social, searchable, and scalable. The webinar suggested leveraging platforms like Google+ to increase click-through rates in search engine results and using frequent, unique updates to engage audiences across search and social. Overall, the key takeaway was focusing content development on benefiting audiences by understanding their goals and letting data drive the process.

Notes de l'éditeur
If you look at those 4 S’s; social, searchable, scalable, and sincere and you create content around that, content that people do want to say, “Hey. Look at what I found,” content that’s tagged appropriately and put in the right places so it can be found or searchable, Not content that’s one-off and that costs a brand a fortune, but content that can be scaled and content that is true to the brand, then you have something powerful.
