SEO: some tips

You can improve the visibility of your website in search engines by following these easy ‘do-it-yourself’ SEO tips.

  • Provide clear content (texts), and use keywords that relate to your ‘business’. Also use synonyms, for example: you rent gîtes in France,so in your text use not only the word ‘gîte’, but also the words: ‘holiday home’, ‘rental’, ‘cottage’, ‘accommodation’, etc.
  • Get ‘backlinks’:, these are links from other websites to your website. Look for online business directories where your website can be included, ask your friends/family members with websites to link to yours, etc. You can also start a blog with interesting content, as other websites might like to link to this content…
  • Keep your website up to date. Google likes ‘fresh’ content, so it helps if you regularly update the content of your website. If this is not a practical solution for you (e.g. because your texts are static), alternatively you can start a blog where you regularly post an article containing your ‘news’.
