Best practices for your retreat center listing

A well-crafted listing attracts potential participants but also provides them with the information they need to make an informed decision. Follow these best practices to ensure your listing stands out and drives queries about your retreat.

Your Retreat Center Name

Your retreat center's listing title is simply the name of your center.

Photo Gallery

Using high-quality and diverse images is crucial for attracting visitors and event organizers. Images set the tone for your retreat center and showcase what makes it unique.

• Natural Surroundings: Highlight the beauty of the location.

• Exterior (Hero Shot): Display the entire center.

• Common Areas: Feature communal spaces.

• Activities & Recreation: Show engaging experiences.

• Service: Highlight your personalized services.

• Testimonials/Guests: Show people enjoying your retreat.

Tip: Choose a strong "main image" (usually the Hero Shot) that will appear in search results.

Use a square logo icon or vertical “stacked” version. Avoid using a full logo with text, as this appears next to the Listing Title.
