When creating a guide on Mindtrip, it’s important to understand the difference between Place Descriptions and Place Tips. Both serve unique purposes and contribute to the quality and ranking of your guide. Here’s how to use them effectively:
Place Descriptions
- Purpose: Provide general information about the place. This gives users a basic understanding of what the location offers.
- AI Assistance: Descriptions can be AI-generated and then edited to match your style or highlight key details.
- What to Include:
- General overview of the place
- Historical or cultural significance
- Key attractions or features
- Basic logistical details (e.g., hours, cost, location type)
Example:

Place Tips
- Purpose: Share personal insights that enhance a traveler’s experience. Tips make your guide more valuable and help it stand out.
- User-Generated: Unlike descriptions, tips should be written from your own experience or knowledge.
- What to Include:
- Hidden gems or lesser-known facts
- Best times to visit to avoid crowds
- Local recommendations (e.g., best food stalls, photo spots)
- Best dishes to order at a restaurant
- Things to bring or watch out for
- Whether or not to make a reservation
Example:

Why Tips Matter
While AI-generated descriptions provide useful context, your tips are what truly make your guide unique and engaging. Thoughtful, insightful tips improve your guide’s ranking and increase saves by offering travelers something they can’t find in a generic write-up.
By balancing informative descriptions with valuable personal tips, you can create a compelling, high-ranking guide that stands out on Mindtrip!
