Updates to Platform

Did you know that search engines like Google play a huge role in helping guests discover your property? Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing web content to improve its visibility in search results, making it easier for potential guests to find relevant listings. Programmatic SEO takes this a step further by using automation to generate and optimize thousands of high-quality, data-driven pages at scale. At LandTrust.com, we leverage both traditional and programmatic SEO to maximize your property’s exposure. By strategically incorporating targeted keywords, creating high-value content, and developing optimized landing pages for various activities, locations, and property types, we ensure that outdoor enthusiasts actively searching for recreational opportunities can easily discover your listing. This means more visibility, more bookings, and ultimately, more revenue for you.

For instance when someone googles 'gopher hunt in montana' not only is LandTrust the first results from the search but AI pulls every LandTrust listing in Montana that has a Gopher hunting package. With AI beginning to dominate the search engine field we think this is essential for success and will continue to put effort towards SEO.

As always, if you have questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to contact us.

Field Note Highlights

Field Notes have been excellent so far this year, highlighting a recap and success stories of 2024. This is an excellent way to show the users how much your LandTrust property has to offer. Even though field notes was created midway through 2024 it became a powerful tool to show the potential of the properties.
