margaretriver.com: The Region’s #1 Destination Authority

The official destination website at margaretriver.com is the Number 1 travel authority for the Margaret River Region. The website features:

  • Mobile-first design layout with around 70% of traffic coming from mobiles and tablets
  • Regional branding gives a distinctive and premium look to the website design
  • Rich content throughout the site
  • A breadcrumb trail encourages visitors to stay on the site longer, and navigate more deeply no matter where they ‘land’ on the site
  • Continued focus on site performance and page load times to ensure strong Google rankings

Your Member Listing

As a tourism business member, you will have your own unique business listing at margaretriver.com.

Your listing features a prominent ‘Visit Website’ button, linking the visitor to your website. This enables you to point the visitor in whichever direction you wish them to go – e.g. to book directly with you, to learn about your cellar door, or to view your latest announcements.

Other features of your business listing pages include:

  • Events, itineraries and stories featuring your business are displayed, helping visitors to get to know you better
  • Your Instagram and Facebook links
  • Your business amenities & features are prominent to show the visitor how you meet their needs quickly
  • The ‘Visit Website’ Button is highly prominent and scrolls with the page on mobile, encouraging users to book direct

Additional Business Listings

If you have multiple businesses or offer more than one activity type (e.g., winery & accommodation), you can promote your offerings distinctly by purchasing additional listings on margaretriver.com and the regional printed map (criteria apply). Additional listings cost $200 per membership year. If you want to add another listing to your membership, please complete our application form.

Content Inclusions & Advertising

There are a number of ways to increase your prominence in MRBTA’s digital marketing channels.

Content Calendar

The Margaret River Region’s annual content plan is available for members to read here. Members can express interest in being included in blog stories each month, with opportunities listed through our marketing e-newsletters.

The trusted itineraries and stories published are shared across a number of channels, including consumer e-newsletters (database over 40k), social media channels (combined audience over 130k), and through the region’s Visitor’s Centres. View some of the latest articles here.

MRBTA’s content plan remains fluid, allowing us to respond to the changing travel landscape and consumer and member demands. We encourage members to submit story ideas throughout the year, so that we can validate the needs of our tourism operators and transfer these needs to consumer-friendly stories.

Regional writers are also encouraged to contribute content. See submission guide here.

Cost: Native content inclusions are free of charge for MRBTA members. Priority is given to ‘Primary’ Membership holders.

  • How to participate: Take a look at the annual content plan, then simply submit an ‘Expression of Interest’ for inclusion to the MRBTA Industry Team. Content opportunities are also advertised in your monthly email update and you are welcome to submit an EOI when you see relevant stories scheduled for publishing.
  • Please include in your ‘Expression of Interest’:
    • Which article(s) you would like to be featured in.
    • In 2-3 sentences or dot points, please explain what you’d like to highlight in your inclusion and how your business/offering ties back to the blog topic.
    • 1-2 high-resolution images without logos or overlay text.
