How to Make Your Comox Valley Travel Content Shine
If you’re creating travel content for the Comox Valley (or anywhere on Vancouver Island), it helps to think like both a visitor and a local. Here are some ideas that will not only boost your SEO but also keep your readers genuinely engaged.
Smart SEO Moves (Without Feeling Spammy)
- Instead of stuffing keywords, work them in naturally: “Looking for where to stay in Comox Valley?” or “The best things to do in Cumberland, BC.”
- Sprinkle “Vancouver Island” into your titles — it broadens your reach for people who haven’t narrowed down their trip yet.
- Consider a dedicated page for each community — Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland — so visitors find info that feels tailored.
- Don’t forget seasonal phrases: “Summer in Comox” for beach days, or “Winter at Mount Washington” for ski season tips.
Keep the Content Fresh (and Fun to Read)
- Weekend itineraries (“48 hours in the Comox Valley”) or longer stays (“5-day family trip”) give readers something to follow step by step.
- Insider guides can spotlight hidden gems, local hangouts, and those “only the locals know” spots
- Seasonal updates are gold — trail conditions in spring, snow reports in winter, even wildlife sightings.
- Event previews (markets, festivals, live music) keep readers checking back.
- Guest stories — whether it’s a traveler’s review or a local expert interview — add authenticity that no AI listicle can fake.
Visuals That Actually Get Shared
- Show the Comox Valley in all seasons — before-and-after shots of the same trail in summer vs. winter.
- Interactive maps of beaches or trails make it easier for visitors to plan.
- Short video tours of cozy B&Bs or boutique hotels add personality.
- Drone footage over the coastline or Mount Washington? Instant “wow” factor.
- Roundups of Instagram-worthy spots with pin drops for exact locations make your post shareable.
Building Partnerships (The Local Way)
- Team up with restaurants for foodie guides — maybe even do a “3 perfect days of eating” series.
- Adventure companies are always looking for exposure; partner up for activity features.
- Indigenous-led cultural experiences deserve a spotlight — and partnering makes your content stand out.
- Cross-promotion with BC Ferries or tourism boards can give your content a bigger platform.
Make Booking Easy
- If you’re writing about accommodations, add a clear “Check Availability” button.
- Share seasonal deals or special packages when you can.
- Create a little urgency with “limited availability this summer.”
- Highlight real guest reviews — it builds trust more than polished copy ever will.
Tie in Local Events
Don’t just list events — build content around them. For example:
- Comox Valley Exhibition (August): A family-friendly spotlight with must-see attractions.
- Cumberland Wild: Great for music lovers — suggest where to stay nearby.
- Filberg Festival & Nautical Days (August): Perfect summer weekend combo.
- Vancouver Island MusicFest (July): Build a “music weekend itinerary.”
- Wings Over Comox: On airshow years, lean into aviation-themed guides.
Weather-Proof Your Content
This is the west coast — rain happens. Plan for it.
- Have rainy-day activities (cafés, museums, covered markets) ready to recommend.
- On sunny days, readers want adventure lists they can act on right away.
- For stormy weather, a guide on safe storm-watching is a unique angle.
- Ski season? Keep snow condition updates rolling. Use platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and your newsletters to get the word out about snowfall conditions.
How to Know It’s Working
- Check when people are searching — traffic will spike seasonally. Rewind your analytics a year to see what people were looking for last year.
- See which activities or guides get the most clicks.
- Track how many readers turn into booking inquiries.
- Compare your content with competitors and see where you’re filling gaps.
- Notice if your audience is mostly local weekenders or international travelers — then adjust tone accordingly.
