Valentine's Day

Services for Real Estate Pros

January 29, 2014 05:51 AM

If you're smart and would like to keep on breathing, the thought of Valentine's Day may have crossed your mind by now. The little lovebirds out there are beginning to see what their city has planned, which restaurants have Valentine specials and creative gifts to give their one and only.

Know of the hottest Italian restaurant? What about a romantic setting or a kid-friendly restaurant for the night? Have any gift ideas that are hot right now?

Valentine's Day is on a Friday this year which puts a bit more stress on making plans as weekends are already busy. Time to get those posts out there letting your readers know the who, what, where and when.

I dug through Google Analytics to see what type of Valentine posts raked in the clicks last year; here are some:

Romantic Dining for Valentines In and Around Madison Wisconsin

Things to Do for Valentines Day in the Woodlands -2013

Valentines Day 2013 Gift Ideas

Valentines Day Ideas for Columbia South Carolina

Valentines Day in Redding California

Now keep in mind not all of these were written in 2013, some of the ones from years ago continue to rank. Be sure to update any posts you may have written, especially seasonal ones to make sure you're current on keywords that may rank.

Great advice, I'm sure many of us forget that our advice doesn't have to be limited to real estate. Any ideas that will help me get information to potential clients and referrals is appreciated. Thanks again for your timely post.

I have a draft of my blog for romantic locations and places to buy great Valentine's gifts on Google Drive. Just need to take some pictures. I am particularly fond of Valentines Day because my birthday is the day after and I always received hearts givts for my birthday. I have a ton of heart jewelry.

Got it! Thanks for the nudge.

I'm thinking a picnic lunch on a hiking trail that is at the end of the runway below the Sedona airport, or perhaps a sunset picnic dinner off Schnibly Hill Road.
