If you own a motel, backpackers, Bed and Breakfast or any rental Holiday or Vacation website; you will know that it is hard work to get people to your website.
This is because all the big accommodation directories and big hotels that can afford to spend a lot on SEO will always beat you in search engine listings.
Before you throw your hands up in disgust there are things you can do that don’t cost much and will get your site ranking better in search engines.
A links page is a great first step; locate other hotels, accommodation providers or country related sites that are willing to exchange links with your site. Make certain you keep those links (?) and verify that that all external links to your site are kept live. Chances are, if you are in the accommodation industry you will already know hotels, motels and backpackers throughout the country.
The drawback to doing this is: unless your actual webpages are receptive to search engines, then getting links to your site won’t help much.
Canz has come up with a way to help! Our SEO specialist knows the tricks of the trade and has put together three packages that will help you with your SEO problems.
