How your activities are published on Manawa

Your activity listings are created by Manawa’s content team, based on the information you provide. Our team may occasionally follow up with requests for additional details or updates.

You don’t need to write your activity pages yourself, our content experts take care of writing optimised titles, structuring the descriptions, and adapting the content across multiple languages.

The clearer and more technical your input, the more compelling your activity page will be for potential customers.

Maximise your visibility on the site

Once your activities are live, several elements help boost your ranking on Manawa:

• Professional, representative visuals
• Clear, transparent and reassuring descriptions
• Customer reviews to build trust (collect them as soon as your first bookings come in)
• Visibility badges such as:
  • Recommended
  • Instant confirmation

Everything is optimised by our team to help you rank well on Manawa and on external search engines like Google or ChatGPT.

You stay focused on what you do best, sharing your passion for the outdoors, while we take care of the rest.
