SOCIAL MEDIA OPTIMISATION FOR HOTELS (HOTEL SMO)

Social Media Optimisation (SMO) has increasingly become an essential part of any successful hotel Internet Marketing Strategy. After making sure that foundations like PPC and SEO are taken care of, SMO is the next natural progression for a hotel that truly understands that power and influence of the Internet. The way that people interact online has drastically changed which of course offers the hotel new online channels and ways to interact with consumers.

Early adopters who have a strong social media strategy in place are experiencing fantastic results and increased exposure via the Internet. In addition to this, key Search Engines such as Google are adapting the search landscape to be more universal and include a host of different types of results in listings including: Maps, Blogs, Images, Videos, News etc.
