This decides the page structure. You can change it later, but picking right
now saves rework — a gondola site and a museum site need different pages.
Auto-detected from the domain
Paste a domain on the next screen and we'll pick this for you — you just confirm.
saintmarksbasilica.com → one attraction, because the
domain names a single ticketed venue.

Ranks fastest?
Yes — narrow intent, exact-match domain helps most here
Usually — depends how many operators compete
Slowest — competes with big travel publishers
Fast if the trip has a clear origin city
Watch out for
Ticket tiers change often; re-verify every 90 days
Operators disappear and links break
Too broad, thin coverage of everything
Seasonal — some only run half the year
Picking wrong isn't fatal — you can switch type later and the research is kept.

Trademark check
This domain contains a protected place name. Get a legal read before you invest
content into it — losing the domain later is the expensive way to find out.
Step 3 of 9
Keywords
One main keyword, then the variations you want to rank for. Each one gets
mapped to a page on the next screen.
This drives the homepage and the main ticket page.
Secondary keywords
One per line. Paste straight from Ahrefs or Semrush — volume and
difficulty columns are read automatically if present.
Headings or angles you know matter. We'll work them into the plan.

Pre-filled from the site type. Untick anything you don't want, edit any title,

Targets above are guidance, not padding quotas. If the research only supports
900 useful words, the page comes out at 900 and flags itself rather than being
stretched. Thin content and padded content fail the same way.

Two sources disagree on the entry price
The official site says €3. GetYourGuide lists €6 — probably because
theirs includes reserved entry. We won't write either number until you choose.

What the 8 pages currently ranking are missing
Every competitor covers hours and prices. These are the gaps — the reason a
new site can outrank an older one.
Nobody explains the €3 vs €6 differenceAll 8 list prices; none say what reserved entry actually buys youbig win
No real accessibility detail7 of 8 say "partially accessible" and stop there. None mention the Porta dei Fiori or that the loggia has no liftbig win
Nobody says when NOT to buy the upgradeAll 8 recommend everything. Saying "skip the loggia if you did the Campanile" is a trust signalbig win
No combo cost comparisonThe €76 combo vs €58 separately — nobody has done that arithmeticbig win
Acqua alta barely mentioned2 of 8 mention flooding; none explain what it means for a booked slotmoderate
Thin on the mobile ticket processWhich door to use with a QR code trips up a lot of visitorsmoderate

Honest caveat
yes
Is the €3 ticket enough?
For a lot of people, yes. Basilica entry gets you into the nave, and the
mosaic ceiling — the thing in every photograph — is fully visible from there.
You walk a fixed one-way route that takes about ten minutes at a normal pace.
What it does not get you is the Pala d'Oro, the gold-and-enamel altarpiece
behind the high altar, or the loggia where the original bronze horses are kept.
Both are behind separate turnstiles inside the building, and both cost
extra once you are already in.

Where people waste money
The most common mistake is buying a combo ticket that bundles the basilica
with Doge's Palace at €76 when you do not want a guide. Bought separately at
the official prices, the same access comes to about €58. The combo is only
worth it for the guiding — just not an €18 one if you weren't going to use it.

Template
Pick a look, then switch on the elements that drive bookings.
Booking elements
All on by default. Each one is here because it moves bookings or
rankings, not for decoration.
Sticky mobile booking barA price and button that follow the reader down the page. Over 70% of this
traffic is mobile — this is the single biggest conversion lever on the page.
Quick answer boxPrice, visit length and queue time in the first screenful. Wins the
featured snippet and stops people bouncing to find it.
Ticket comparison tableEvery option side by side with what's actually included. Most competitors
just list prices.
"Which ticket should I buy?" selectorFour questions, then a straight recommendation — including "buy the cheap
one, skip the upgrade". Being honest here is what earns trust and links.
Live prices from the affiliate widgetThe network serves the price and rating, so they're never out of date and
you're not caching their data.
Source links and "checked on" datesEvery fact shows where it came from. Costs nothing, and it's the clearest
quality signal you can send.
Exit-intent discount popupLifts clicks slightly but hurts Core Web Vitals and annoys mobile users.
Off by default.
