Since launching True Blue Locals in October 2018 we have been asked many times by Accommodation Hosts, "We have spent hundreds of dollars and hours on SEO and our Accommodation Website still does not rank well, why is it so hard to get my Accommodation Website to Rank well on Google"?
The answer to this question can be complicated, confusing, or SIMPLE, so we are going for SIMPLE.
Do Not be alarmed, if your Website does not have a Ranking at all, or the Ranking is in the Millions.
Due to the Static Nature of Accommodation Websites this is very normal, it's not good, but it is frequently the case and the 'Root' cause of the issue you are facing..
The 'Best' way to gain Visitors is via a Search Engine such as Google, so the first task is to attract Google to visit your website on a very regular basis, Google 'LOVES' New Content and Images, Google quickly identifies which Websites provide New Content and Images and those that do not.
As mentioned before, by their very nature most Accommodation Websites rarely change their content and therefore Accommodation Websites quickly become of little interest to Google and therefore your Normal SEO expenditure and efforts have little effect, in fact if you are not careful you will have a large SEO Bill for absolutely no gain.
3) You can also increase traffic with a BLOG, Social Media and Twitter, however this means many hours of additional effort that must be updated frequently. Also you need to be sure that your efforts are targeting the Correct Demographics for your particlar Accommodation Business.
Due to the way the inbuilt features of the True Blue Locals website work ALL of the our members Listings work in harmony with each other, thus the page ranking for ALL True Blue Locals members is improved. This process is NOT a 5 Minute fix, however it does work.
We issue an invitation to Google to Visit True Blue Locals on an hourly basis every hour, every day of the year, therefore every True Blue Locals Members Listing and backlink to your Website of both Recent and Existing listings are 'Checked' and 'Reviewed' by Google regularly and frequently.
