MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR ATDW LISTING
ATDW listings are an essential marketing tool for tourism businesses and events. Increasing your online exposure, boosting Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) of your own website and driving traffic to your website…they are a no brainer!
A big benefit of ATDW listings is they appear on many travel sites around Australia including www.australia.com, destination sites such as www.visitgrampians.com.au and Visit Victoria’s official consumer site www.visitvictoria.com. This means you only have to enter your business or event details once, and your listing is displayed on many of ATDW’s 200 tourism distributor webites.
To make sure you’re putting your best foot forward, the next time you renew or update your ATDW listing please review the ‘Type’ field. E.g. Accommodation Type, Event Type, Tour Type…
The ‘Type’ field is used by websites to sort and display listings, and if you have not selected the correct ‘Types’ you may not appear on the right pages on websites such as www.visitvictoria.com and www.visitgrampians.com.au
Please login to www.atdw-online.com and check what ‘Types’ are selected on your ATDW listing – and make sure all relevant classifications are selected.
