Do you provide sufficient information to your visitors
Specifically is there enough information on pricing, availability, facilities etc. If there is an easy way to get to your area such as a cheap airline provider then tell people who they are and any useful information. Often if you don't answer visitors' questions they don't bother writing to ask, they just move on to another property that does.
It is important that you have listed the correct town and region spellings on your property page, as these will affect what traffic your advert attracts from the search engines. Take a look at the 'Search by destination' page to see how other advertisers in a similar location have listed their property. If most holidaymakers don't know the name of your town but you are on the outskirts of a far more renowned town perhaps it would be best to list it under this location. |
