Museums & Cultural Institutions SEO Checklist

Quick answer

The highest-priority items for museums and cultural institutions: answer "what's on right now, how long does a visit take, and what does admission cost" directly on the site, build out current exhibition pages, and fix the industry's most common gap — exhibition pages taken down after the show closes, destroying accumulated search authority instead of archiving them as permanent records.
