When bookers are scrolling through venues, your profile has seconds to stand out. It’s your shop window, your first impression, and it can make the difference between being shortlisted or skipped over entirely.
On EDGE Venues, where decisions are driven by visuals, details, and data, keeping your venue profile updated isn’t just a nice-to-have, it directly impacts how often you’re seen, selected, and booked.
We caught up with Ellie to ask how a well-maintained venue profile can work harder for you:
Planners move fast. If your images are tired, your capacities aren’t clear, or your unique features are buried, or missing, you risk losing attention before you’ve even had it.
Make it easy for bookers to say “yes” by leading with your best. What makes your venue ideal for their next meeting or event? Showcase it upfront.
A picture doesn’t just show space – it tells a story. Updated, high-quality photos of your event-ready rooms, social spaces, and seasonal setups help planners imagine their event in your venue.
If your last photo shoot was pre-refurb, it’s time for a refresh.
EDGE’s smart filters allow bookers to search by size, facilities, layout, and more. If your profile is missing those data points, or they’re out of date, you won’t appear in the right searches.
That means missed opportunities. Simple as that.
Running a summer delegate deal? Offering free upgrades on Q4 bookings? EDGE regularly promotes time-limited offers across our marketing channels, but only if they’re visible on your profile.
Seasonal updates are a smart way to grab attention and drive enquiries when planners are actively looking.
We’ve seen the results: venues that regularly update their content are more likely to appear in user searches and get more click-throughs. Updated profiles send a clear message, you’re active, available, and booking-ready.
If your venue is Licensed on EDGE, you also have access to exclusive marketing tools designed to boost visibility even further. From targeted campaigns to homepage features and bespoke promotions, we’ll help get your venue in front of the right planners at the right time.
Think of your EDGE listing as a live asset, not a static brochure. You can log in any time to tweak wording, swap images, add offers, or flag new capacity updates. And if you need support, our team is always on hand to help you make the most of it.
An updated venue profile performs better. It helps planners find you, trust you, and book you.
So, if you haven’t reviewed your listing in a while, now’s the time. A few small changes can unlock a lot more business.
By optimising your online presence, leveraging booking platforms, offering flexible options, investing in marketing, and delivering exceptional service, your venue can thrive in a competitive market. Adopting these strategies will position your venue as a preferred choice, ensuring consistent bookings and strong client relationships.
