All that content is for three reasons.
- To make you an authority on travel in your niche and location.
- To build trust with people who frankly, don’t know you.
- To make your visitor’s life better (the “give” part).
As we said before, having thin content that just sells and sells and sells is not enough. You have to give something too.

“Start your trip to Madrid”

“Where do you want to go?”
On a product page
