About Della O’Brien

I’m Della O’Brien — a content marketer who helps short‑term rental brands get found, get booked, and grow sustainably.

I specialize in SEO‑driven content strategies for vacation rental managers, destination brands, and hospitality‑focused businesses that want more than vanity traffic. My work is built to attract qualified guests, answer real search intent, and convert content into measurable revenue.

What I Do

I help short‑term rental businesses:

• Increase organic visibility through strategic, search‑first content
• Turn blog posts and landing pages into booking‑ready assets
• Build evergreen content libraries that compound results over time
• Align brand voice, search intent, and conversion goals

This isn’t generic travel blogging or templated SEO. Every strategy is rooted in how guests actually search — and how owners and managers need content to perform.

My Approach

Content should work as hard as you do.

I combine:

• Search intent analysis (what people are really trying to find)
• SERP‑informed content planning (what it actually takes to rank)
• Brand‑aligned storytelling (content that sounds human, not robotic)
• Conversion optimization (CTAs, internal linking, and structure that drive action)

The result is content that ranks, resonates, and supports long‑term growth — not short‑lived traffic spikes.

Why Short‑Term Rentals

Short‑term rental marketing is a category of its own. I first started content marketing for short-term rentals when I started managing a portfolio of around 30 short-term rentals on Orcas Island in 2022. Since content marketing was my focus prior to managing these rentals, I continued doing what I had been doing and posting about the things I see that I love- for example, view photos. With 30 rentals, I am able to capture view photos from every angle of the island, so I did just that.

Between shifting regulations, seasonality, platform dependency, and hyper‑local competition, STR brands need content strategies that are both flexible and durable. I focus exclusively on this space so I can stay ahead of algorithm changes, travel search trends, and the nuances that generalist marketers miss.

Who I Work With

I partner with:

• Vacation rental managers and management companies
• Independent STR brands and founders
• Destination and tourism‑focused businesses
• Hospitality SaaS and service providers serving the STR space

Whether you’re scaling a portfolio or refining an established brand, my goal is the same: make your content a reliable growth channel.

What Sets Me Apart

• STR‑specific expertise — not generic SEO advice
• Clear, actionable strategy (no fluff, no jargon)
• Content built for longevity and compounding results
• A focus on ownership — reducing reliance on OTAs and paid ads

I believe consistency beats hacks, and clarity beats complexity.
