I just edited my Cádiz page Immerse Yourself in Cádiz's Rich History: A Guided Audio Tour. - Visiting Cádiz and added a paragraph… Offering a free copy for eagle eyed readers? Be interested in what people think about this idea… The page itself gets a lot of traffic but not a lot of buys (actually, I have no idea if I have any sales on VoiceMap from the click outs…So, I wonder if the route of offering a free copy and the hope of a good review might work?
Welcome to Cádiz, often referred to as “La Tacita de Plata,” or “The Little Silver Cup.” I’m Clive, are you ready to immerse yourself in Cádiz’s rich history: A guided audio tour? I’m excited to lead you on an immersive audio walking tour through Cádiz, where history, culture, and romance intertwine with VoiceMap.
Or, if you’d like a free copy, I have a limited number of unique VoiceMap codes to share. Simply email me at clive@visitingcadiz.com, and I’ll personally send you a code so you can explore Cádiz at your own pace. Your email is safe with me — no spam, just your audio guide!
Quick update… I only added the paragraph about a free copy the day before yesterday and today I received my first email from a person asking if there were any free copies left. Created the voucher and emailed… Be interesting to see the review and comments both on my page for the audio guide and at VoiceMap.
I just received another enquiry for a free copy of my Cádiz guide — this time from a German traveller who emailed me in English. When I replied to ask whether they preferred the English or German version, they responded within minutes requesting the German edition.
This small exchange got me thinking more seriously about the potential SEO and marketing benefits of offering my guide for free. My dedicated guide pages already attract a steady stream of organic visitors, but giving away a free product — even if I have to purchase additional copies from VoiceMap myself — could serve as an effective loss leader.
By providing free access to high-quality, localized content, I can attract a larger audience of engaged users who are already interested in destinations like Cádiz. This, in turn, can improve SEO performance through increased traffic, longer site visits, and more backlinks as people share the offer.
Moreover, these visitors are not just casual browsers — they’re qualified leads with genuine travel intent. Once they’re on my site, they’re more likely to explore related content and book complementary products such as hotels, experiences, and activities.
In essence, offering free copies of my guides could become a smart long-term strategy for driving targeted traffic, building trust, and boosting sales of my other travel-related products.
Hi @helene It looks like some people have trouble redeeming the free copy using the voucher code… A lot of free copies I have given out remain un redeemed
Thanx,
I tried but probably this is just a kind of teaser, I got just some informations about the playa galeta… however…
Thanx anyway…
So they thought it was a teaser to get them to buy the full copy…
Can someone at VoiceMap write up an easy to follow generic step by step guide for redeeming a voucher code so that I could publish it on my site and send it out in emails?
Hi Clive, we’ve also had some problems with this, as people instinctively go to the page for the tour in question rather than just redeeming the code. It would be great to have an official VM guide we can link to or copy, but what we usually say is:
