Social Media Action Lab: From Ideas to Execution
TODAY’S TRAVEL ITINERARY
What’s one piece of content you’ll post first?
What’s one thing you’re proud of creating today
Define your signature traveler
Design a first impression that feels as personal
as your service.
Help dream clients say “I need you” in under
60 seconds.
Be the one they find
Where Your Story Takes Flight
Clarify your brand voice and paint the picture
of your ideal traveler.
This is where we uncover what
makes your voice unmistakable.
You can’t serve everyone, and you shouldn’t try. Who do you love working with most?
Confirm your Ideal traveler matches who’s active (and engaged) on IG
Be specific. “Luxury” is too broad. Try: honeymooners in Santorini, adventure-seeking
families, solo wellness travelers, etc.
Clarity = magnetism. The clearer you are about who you serve, the more likely they are to
find and trust you.
DESTINATION 01: WHO IS YOUR IDEAL TRAVELER?
BEFORE WE LET YOU TAKE
FLIGHT...
BRIEF AI ONCE, AND IT WORKS FOR
YOU EVERY TIME
What’s one type of traveler you know you want more of?
Did you get more specific than you expected? What did you clarify?
What words or phrases came up that feel very “you”?
Anyone realize they’ve been trying to serve too many types of travelers?
TRAVEL DEBRIEF: WHO’S IN YOUR PORTFOLIO?
NOW BOARDING…YOUR SEARCH STRATEGY
AIO, AEO, SEO, Oh My!
AI isn’t just answering questions - it’s offering
recommendations.
Social profiles, bios, and posts are now
showing up in search results.
Google now known as - Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Artificial Intelligence Optimization (AIO)
Searching on Social Media Platforms
Good news? They all abide by roughly the same rules
The top three ways your ideal traveler can find you.
SEACH ISN’T WHAT IT USED TO BE
Search is evolving and people aren’t
just Googling “Luxury Italy Tour” they
are asking questions like…
Helping your business show up
when people search using AI tools.
Example: “Luxury travel advisor for
Italy honeymoons” creates a better
result than “I plan amazing trips”
Answer Real Questions and use specific phrases (keywords)
Speak specifically: Family-friendly Greece itinerary > Vacation tips
Use bullets over paragraphs
Create consistent social content
(searchable)
If your dream client searched for someone like you, would they find you?
YOUR SOCIAL BIO IS YOUR SEO
What’s one thing you’re proud of creating today
KEYWORD:
BUSY FAMILIES
TRAVEL
LI Search
LI Bio
IG Bio IG Search
I’m a family travel specialist who
designs stress-free European
adventures - so parents can
focus on memories, not logistics.
Keywords: family Europe travel,
multigenerational trips, stress-
free vacations
Romance travel advisor who
plans milestone getaways for
couples - so they can reconnect,
relax, and celebrate in style.
Keywords: romance travel,
anniversary trips, Caribbean
escapes
Your keywords aren’t about impressing other travel advisors.
They are about helping your ideal client say…
Ah, you’re exactly who I need.
That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out - thank you!
If you confuse, you lose. Finding the right keywords.
DESTINATION 02: BE THE ONE THEY FIND
If your dream client searched on Google, Instagram, or AI,
what would you want them to type?
What’s one phrase you’re going to start weaving into your
captions, stories, and bio?
TRAVEL DEBRIEF:
WHAT WORDS DO YOU WANT TO BE KNOW FOR?
NOW BOARDING…YOUR PROFILE CONCEIRGE
Your Virtual Business Card
More than a bio - what makes you unique and
authentically you.
Designing a first impression that feels as
personal as your service.
Helping dream clients say “I need you” in
under 10 seconds.
Clear Banner Image (3
seconds I know what
you do)
Call to Action (CTA)
Detailed
keyword-rich
description
HIGHLIGHTS PINNED POSTS FIRST 9 TILES
Swap phones and give each other feedback
Create your 2-3 distinct phrases
Add them to Instagram and LinkedIn profiles
Add this content to AI and SM Content Center
Would a luxury traveler know why to work with me…or scroll past me?
Most bios are either too vague “Travel Lover” or too crowded - this is about clarity
with personality. Use keywords (words your travelers use!)
DESTINATION 03: YOUR SIGNATURE INTRODUCTION
What feedback did you receive that was helpful?
Who made some changes that they’d like to share?
Did anyone add their language to AI or the Content Center?
TRAVEL DEBRIEF:
WHAT WORDS DO YOU WANT TO BE KNOW FOR?
NOW BOARDING…YOUR CONTENT STUDIO
Designing Your Signature Series
Create a signature thread your audience
follows post after post, story after story.
This is your creative studio. Your chance
to design a series refined, recognizable,
and rooted in trust.
Write down what happened—what made it special, and how you showed up.
Then partner up and share your story.
Think of one trip you planned that made you feel proud to be a travel advisor.
Maybe you saved the day.
Maybe you pulled off something magical.
Maybe your client cried happy tears.
THE STORY ONLY YOU CAN TELL
What stood out most in your partner’s story?
What words would use to describe them as they told their story?
Why would a client choose them based on the story you heard?
TRAVEL DEBRIEF:
HOW DID YOUR PARTNER SHOW UP?
NOW BOARDING…YOUR SIGNATURE SERIES
Think about your FAQs and how
you can use social media content
to answer real client questions.
What’s the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast?
Where should I stay for a honeymoon in Bali?
What are the best kid-friendly resorts in
Riviera Maya?
They KNOW their stuff.
They’ll have my BACK.
I SHOULDN’T do this on my own.
I can RELATE to this.
That’s what I’m LOOKING for.
They understand my STRUGGLE.
