Work With StroupTravels
StroupTravels is a structured travel media platform focused on Civil War battlefields, historic towns, outdoor stops, and overlooked road trip destinations across the United States and select international regions.
This is not influencer travel.
It’s decision-based travel.
Every feature is built to rank in search, guide real itineraries, and set accurate visitor expectations. My audience consists of road trippers, history-driven travelers, and people actively planning where to stop next, not passive social scrollers.
If your destination, site, or business fits that profile, we should talk.
Who I Am
I’m Jeff Stroup. Travel photographer, content strategist, and founder of StroupTravels.
My work lives where real travelers search:
• Embedded in long-form, SEO-optimized travel guides
• Structured inside state-level content hubs
• Integrated with Google Maps visibility (300,000+ views and growing)
• Distributed across Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube Shorts
I focus on places that feel layered, historic, raw, or overlooked, not polished resort marketing.
What I Provide for Destinations
StroupTravels builds long-term visibility, not short-term hype.
Partnership options include:
• In-depth destination features integrated into structured state travel guides
• Search-optimized articles targeting location-specific keywords
• Professional on-location photography with licensing options
• Google Maps placement and visibility through Local Guide contributions
• POV-style GoPro footage for scenic trails, routes, and experiential stops
• Social amplification across Instagram, TikTok, Shorts, and Pinterest
My content is built to live in search results for years, not disappear after 24 hours.
Audience Snapshot
Primary audience:
• Road trippers
• History enthusiasts
• Battlefield and memorial visitors
• Small-town explorers
• Travelers planning regional itineraries
Content is structured around multi-stop road trips, giving destinations placement inside larger travel narratives rather than standalone promotion.
