Twelve guides. One commercial page.

The homepage keeps “accommodation near the Kruger.” Everything else answers Marloth.

Thatched lodge and pool at Leriti Safari House, Marloth Park.

Search Console, 18 September to 6 October, recorded 28 clicks and 206 impressions. Every named query was the brand. Facebook already sends 112 of 277 sessions. The content year exists to create the first non-brand queries, not to outrank SANParks for the name of the park. The 9 October fact-sheet briefing still governs the homepage. This one starts when that facts block is on the home page.

Where demand sits

Answer the Public, South Africa, export 8 October 2026. Each figure is one phrase. Close variants often share the same rounded number, so they are not added together. “Marloth Park accommodation”, “lodge”, “verblyf” and “akkommodasie” are one family at 6,600, not 26,400.

Germany is the only other Google market in the files with a visible cluster: Kruger accommodation about 260 searches at $1.56. French, Spanish and US Marloth phrases are mostly under 50. There is no Google UK export. UK safari prices in the file sit on TikTok rows (safari 480 at $5.03) and are a test, not a plan.

Instagram has two tags with a recorded volume: #krugernationalpark at 22,200 and #marlothpark at 590. About 240 further tags in the export are zero. YouTube repeats real search phrases (map, gates, where to stay). TikTok volumes are copied queries, not TikTok counts. Amazon is noise.

What the lodge already gets

Google Search Console for https://leriti.com/, 18 September to 6 October 2026. Analytics, 19 September to 8 October. This window closed before the fact sheet. It is the baseline the content year is measured against.

All other named queries 1 1 —
Property total, including anonymised 28 206 3.4
  • No non-brand query. Nothing for Kruger accommodation, Marloth Park lodge, a gate, or a rate. Click-through on the property is 13.6%. South Africa is 25 of 28 clicks. Home takes 27 of the 28.
  • Pages already seen, rarely chosen. Travel Info 114 impressions, The Lodge 84, The Rooms 75. The titles are not the questions. Travel Info’s description promises routes, airports and gates. The body has seasons, packing and malaria.
  • Facebook is the working channel. 277 sessions, 201 people. Direct 123. Facebook 112. Google organic 39. Bing 1. Nightsbridge 1. Mobile is 213 of 277. A social calendar is justified by this split, not by hashtag volume.
  • Bing has already asked the location question. “Where is Leriti Safari House at Marloth Park.” Contact can now answer with 321 Tortoise Street.

On the host, checked 9 October: five rooms and ten adults are on The Rooms, whose title is already “Marloth Park Accommodation”. Experiences publishes Classic safari at R1,250 half day and R1,850 full day per person, private vehicles at R3,800 and R4,800, expedition from R5,500, and the current conservation fees (R134 / R275 / R602) without a tariff date. Biodiversity already separates plains game at the lodge, lion and rhino at Lionspruit, and Kruger on the drive. The spa title already says “Spa in Marloth Park”. Plan Your Stay already prices self-catered exclusive use at 20% under the hosted rate, without the word self-catering.

How a phrase was assigned

The same rule as the fact-sheet briefing. The homepage title stays “Accommodation near the Kruger National Park.” A second URL for that sentence would split the only commercial page Google has started to trust.

  • SEO, on a page that exists. The searcher is choosing Marloth, a gate from this street, or what the stay includes. Rooms, Travel Info, Experiences, Biodiversity, Plan Your Stay and the spa already have the URL. P1 and P2 finish them.
  • SEO, as a guide. The searcher is deciding, and the answer is longer than a paragraph. One guide a month. Each links to the commercial page. None of them uses the homepage title as its target.
  • Paid. The searcher is ready to book and the organic result is SANParks or an OTA. Two landing pages: home for stay queries, Experiences for safari queries. Ads start after P1.
  • Social. Facebook, because it is already 40% of sessions. Instagram and TikTok, because the footage exists at the fence. YouTube, because it is the only social surface that is also a search box. One film a month, cut down for the other three.
  • Left alone. The park’s name, property, jobs, camping, rest-camp names, five-star concessions, weather forecasts, maps, and zero-volume hashtags.
3

P1, P2, P3

Web changes, in order. P1 is October and the first half of November. The November guide does not publish until P1 is on the host. Copy lives in Flatsome and Rank Math, the same way as the fact sheet.

P3

The guides, the spa menu, a name

From November 2026 through October 2027. One guide a month, in the sitemap, linked from the commercial page it supports. Expected movement is in the year table below, not in a score.

  • Twelve posts. The calendar in the next section. Each one needs a byline, photographs from this property, and a booking path to Nightsbridge or hello@leriti.com. A guide that ranks and does not say how to book is unfinished.
  • Spa menu. Duration and a from-price for massage, skin, and hands and feet, and whether a day visitor can book. The title is already the query. About 390 searches.
  • A named host. Who answers the WhatsApp line and hello@leriti.com. A role is enough. Contact currently names no one.
  • Food, as a note. Not a directory. Where guests eat when they are not dining at the lodge, and where the Spar is. Restaurants are about 1,300 searches and they rot if the list is long. Marloth Park Adventures go-karts stay a neighbour.
  • Fee year roll. October 2027, and every October after. The Experiences box is updated to the new SANParks year or taken down the week the tariff changes.

The year of guides

November 2026 to October 2027. Twelve posts, not four a week. The addressable non-brand demand a ten-guest lodge can answer is a short list. Publishing past it would compete with the homepage. Volumes are the reason each month exists. Where the export shows no volume, the reason is a question guests already ask in People Also Ask or in the Facebook groups.

Month Guide Primary evidence Must be first-party Links to
Nov 2026 Which Kruger gate is close to Marloth Park People Also Ask, first question. Malelane gate name 9,900, owned by SANParks. Crocodile Bridge gate about 880. “Marloth to Crocodile Bridge” is 50. The entrance the team uses, and when they choose Malelane instead Experiences, Travel Info
Dec 2026 Sleep in Marloth, or inside the park Same question in the Kruger Facebook group and in People Also Ask. “Marloth vs Kruger” is unmeasured in the export. Where-to-stay at 14,800 stays paid. What a three-night festive stay here actually looks like after the gates close Home, Plan Your Stay
Jan 2027 What you see from the lodge, and what you only see inside “Are there lions in Marloth Park” is 20. “What is Marloth Park” is 20 at $1.04. Competitor sites still say four of the Big Five. This summer’s sightings from Tortoise Street, not a species list copied from SANParks Biodiversity
Feb 2027 A morning in the southern Kruger Game drive about 880 at $0.75. National safari head terms stay in paid search. A route the guides will still drive in February, plus the snack and the conservation fee on top Experiences
Mar 2027 When to come south Weather is 9,900 and belongs to Yr. This is the seasonal decision Travel Info already half-answers. How Malelane and the lodge feel in late summer, including rain closures the team has seen Travel Info
Apr 2027 Driving to Marloth Park Airport 1,300 at $0.77. Kruger from Johannesburg 320 at $1.84. Marloth from Johannesburg 40. From Nelspruit 70. The N4 times the team gives guests, KMIA, and why Skukuza is the wrong airport Travel Info, transfers
May 2027 Malaria, as the main season ends Kruger and malaria about 260. Travel Info already has September to May, dusk to dawn, and “ask a doctor”. The same medical line, dated, with the SANParks notice linked. No dosage. Travel Info
Jun 2027 Winter at the lodge Things to do about 720. Winter temperatures are already on Travel Info, about 6–27°C. What is easier to see when the bush opens, from the verandah and from the vehicle The Lodge, Experiences
Jul 2027 Three nights in the school holidays Family packages in the export are about 50. The useful evidence is queue behaviour at Malelane, which the December guide started. Child rule: under 16 by arrangement, under 12 only on a private vehicle. A real three-day shape. Plan Your Stay
Aug 2027 Self-catering means the whole lodge Self-catering accommodation about 1,000 at $0.61. Cheap, backpackers and caravan are a different stay and stay out of the copy. The 20% rate, the kitchen, housekeeping still included, safaris still arranged Plan Your Stay
Sep 2027 First rain, and the birds Biodiversity already names hornbills, turacos, fish eagles, bateleurs. Spring is when the malaria section becomes relevant again. What changed in the garden after the first rain this year Biodiversity, Travel Info
Oct 2027 What a day in the park costs, before the tariff changes Entrance fee about 4,400. The post does not try to outrank SANParks. It says what is added to a Leriti safari. The new tariff if SANParks has published it, otherwise a dated “check on 1 November” line Experiences

What one guide contains

A single question in the title. The answer in the first screen, with the lodge’s own detail. A dated fact where the fact expires. Photographs from this property. One booking path. Internal links only to the pages in the last column. No park history, no Big Five definition, no “top ten lodges in Kruger”.

Social calendar

The month repeats. The subject changes with the guide. Volume for the year: 12 YouTube films, about 12 Instagram posts a month, the same moments cut for TikTok, and 8 Facebook answers a month. That is the volume the session data supports. Facebook is 112 of 277 sessions. Instagram’s usable tags are two.

The standing month

Week Instagram TikTok Facebook YouTube
1 Animal at the fence or in the road. Caption names Marloth Park. Tags: #krugernationalpark and #marlothpark only. The same clip, cut to the moment the animal appears. One line for a UK guest if the caption is in English. Page post: one fact from the month’s guide. Link once. Film this week. Publish when the guide is live, not before.
2 The hours between safari. Pool, firepit, or the vehicle leaving. No tariff table. Same scene, under 20 seconds. Answer one real thread in the Marloth self-catering group or the Kruger group. Same facts as the guide. Link once. —
3 A still from the YouTube film, with the question as the first line. A 15-second cut of that film. The film, posted natively, with the guide link in the first comment. Publish the month’s film. Title is the guide’s question. Description links to the post.
4 One useful detail: the gate, the child rule, or what breakfast includes. Carousel if it needs two frames. That detail, spoken by the host if they will be on camera. A second group answer, only if someone asked. No unsolicited ad into the group. —

What each month’s film is

Month Film, under about eight minutes Do not film
Nov 2026 The drive from the lodge to the gate the team is using that morning A map of the whole park. Numbi. Phabeni.
Dec 2026 Three nights: a safari day and a slow day A “top camps in Kruger” roundup
Jan 2027 What walked past the lodge this week, and what that does not prove about lions A Big Five montage presented as a typical Tuesday
Feb 2027 One morning south of Crocodile Bridge or Malelane A private-reserve night drive Leriti does not sell
Mar 2027 Late summer: rain, green bush, an early start A weather forecast
Apr 2027 The N4 arrival, and the turn into Marloth Someone else’s airport transfer
May 2027 Packing and mosquito habit, ending with “ask your doctor” Dosage, or a promise that the risk is zero
Jun 2027 A cold morning on the vehicle, and what is visible Stock elephants
Jul 2027 How a family week is actually booked, including the private vehicle for younger children A kids’ party that is not the product
Aug 2027 The kitchen and the lodge taken as a house An Airbnb-style room tour of a cottage
Sep 2027 Birds after rain. The species Biodiversity already names, filmed here A Kruger bird list the lodge cannot stand behind
Oct 2027 What is paid to SANParks on top of the safari rate, with the date on screen A fee presented as Leriti’s price

November 2026, written out

P1 has to be live before the week of 16 November. If the gate block and the routes are not on the host, week 3 slips to December and the November film waits with it.

2–8 Nov 9–15 Nov 16–22 Nov 23–29 Nov
Instagram Kudu, zebra or warthog at the property. Caption: Marloth Park, not “Big Five country”. Firepit or pool between drives. Still from the gate film. First line: which gate is close to Marloth Park. Two frames: Crocodile Bridge for a morning here, Malelane when the team says so.
TikTok The animal clip. The same pool or firepit, one shot. Fifteen seconds of the vehicle at the gate. Host line, if they will say the gate on camera.
Facebook No link yet. One photograph, street and gate unnamed until P1 is up. If a group thread asks Marloth or a rest camp, answer in the thread. Hold the link. Page post of the film. Guide link. One group answer with the same link. Only if someone asks about queues. Point at the guide.
YouTube Shoot the morning drive. Cut. Publish “Which Kruger gate is close to Marloth Park”. Description links to the November guide. —

December repeats the grid with the stay-or-inside film. The dates move. The four jobs do not.

How we will know

Search Console is the scoreboard. Impressions on “kruger national park” are not a win. Brand position near 2 is the control, and it should stay there.

Baseline, early Oct 28 days after P1 End of Feb 2027 End of Jul 2027
Named non-brand queries 0 At least one of: Marloth accommodation, Marloth lodge, which gate, Crocodile Bridge Gate, wildlife, or stay-or-inside showing impressions A non-brand click on a guide or on Rooms
Organic clicks 28 in 19 days, brand Brand clicks hold. Non-brand may still be zero. Non-brand impressions visible in the query report Non-brand clicks, even a handful
Facebook sessions 112 of 277 Still the largest referred channel Guide URLs appear in the landing-page report Same
YouTube No lodge films in this plan November film live, if P1 shipped 4 films 9 films
Paid Off Stay campaign eligible Search terms reviewed weekly. Negatives from section 6 are in. Safari campaign only if the stay campaign has sent an enquiry

The query list we track

marloth park accommodation. marloth park lodge. marloth park verblyf. which gate is closest to marloth park. crocodile bridge from marloth. are there lions in marloth park. stay in marloth or kruger. kruger national park airport. The head term is watched so we can see if a guide has started to compete with the homepage. If it has, the guide’s title changes.

What we will not publish

Volume in this programme is twelve guides and a repeating social month. It is not a post every day, and it is not a second homepage.

  • No article aimed at “kruger national park”, and no park-wide where-to-stay list. Those are 60,500 and 14,800, and they belong to SANParks.
  • No change to the homepage title. The fact-sheet briefing locked it. Marloth language goes in the facts block and on The Rooms.
  • No second wildlife story. Biodiversity is the account. January’s guide uses it.
  • No invented nightly rate. Plan Your Stay keeps rates on enquiry until one sentence is locked. LekkeSlaap’s from-R3,000 and Sleeping-OUT’s from-R1,500 are their listings, not copy we paste.
  • No malaria dosage. The May guide stops at the precautions already on Travel Info and “ask a doctor”.
  • No property, jobs, camping, Skukuza, Satara, five-star concessions, or competitor house pages.
  • No weather-forecast page, no full-park map, no Numbi or Phabeni film.
  • No German, French or Spanish site. Afrikaans is an opening on The Rooms, not a locale.
  • No hashtag list beyond the two tags that have volume. The other ~240 Instagram rows are zero.
  • No guest network password, and no drive time the hosts have not confirmed.

Method

Two data sets, kept separate. Search Console and Analytics are what the site did. Answer the Public is what people type, and it is an estimate.

Search Console, property https://leriti.com/, 18 September to 6 October 2026, as reported in the fact-sheet briefing. Analytics, 19 September to 8 October: 277 sessions. Bing Webmaster noted there for the location query. Those numbers are not re-pulled in this document.

Answer the Public, 8 October 2026. Seeds: Kruger National Park (South Africa), Kruger National Park accommodation (South Africa, Germany, France, Spain), Marloth Park (South Africa), Marloth Park accommodation (South Africa, Germany, France, Spain, United States). The duplicate Kruger file was ignored. After deduplicating keyword, country and platform, South African Google and Bing phrases with a volume above zero number 1,441. Figures in the tables are the highest reported volume for that phrase, not a sum.

Live results checked 9 October for the park name, Kruger accommodation, where to stay, Marloth Park accommodation, Malelane Gate, malaria and lions, and “kruger national park safari” from the United Kingdom. The host was read the same day: home, rooms, lodge, experiences, spa, biodiversity, plan your stay, travel info, contact, and llms.txt. Conservation fees were matched to the SANParks page for 1 November 2025–31 October 2026.

The fact-sheet briefing remains the source for the homepage, the graph and the listings. This briefing does not rescore SEO, AEO or GEO. It adds the content those scores were never going to produce on their own: a non-brand query, from a guide that does not wear the homepage’s title.

P1 first. The November gate guide and its film wait on the routes, the gate block, and the dated fees. Twelve guides across the year. The homepage title stays where the fact sheet left it.
