Hello! I am also having this problem. I have a booking system on my website, so I don't want to use TA for bookings, I just want a business listing to enable me to collect reviews. I've submitted the request for a 'free business listing' 5 times over the last 9 weeks with no response. I just get an ...

Hi JanB, Thank you!!! Yes, that's the struggle really - getting people through the door first! Reviews will be sacred, and I'll do everything in my power to squeeze them out of people (without being a pest of course). Do book! It would be great to welcome you to the cottage. Like I said before, I ma...

Hi Newtimber, Thank you, I completely agree and I am going to change it! I thought that people might like knowing that they are getting a discount, and find it satisfying being able to apply a code to get money off, but actually, as you say - it's just confusing and a bit of a faff! Thank you, I am ...

Re: What's putting people off booking?
[quote="Riponnewbie"]Hi Katie, Your cottage looks absolutely beautiful! Your website is fabulous too. Your prices are high end but inline with the quality of the accommodation you are providing. I think you have to be patient. Which listing sites are you on? (I might book a stay myself!) G...

Thank you all so much! I've made a few changes this evening based on your feedback, I'll need to work on it a little more, but I really appreciate your help, your points all make perfect sense - can't see the wood for the trees when you've been staring at something for so long so it's great to have ...

We're having a slow summer too so it's not just you. And judging by the amount of special offer emails I'm getting from the likes of Sykes and Forest Holidays it looks like even the big companies still have quite a few dates available. I had a quick look at your web site and I think you might be ab...

Hi Katie, Your place looks lovely and in the long term i'm sure you won't have a problem getting bookings. Maybe it's the time of year - a lot of people will already have their summer hol sorted an are not yet looking forward to Autumn or winter. Which referral sites are you on? Hi Jenster, thank y...

YES JWK. This is what is needed, quality SEO driven referral sites. I'm on a few referral sites and some of them generate no traffic for me at all. I guess it's down to trial and error and different cottages are suited to different listing sites. Your booking system is great, love the idea that gues...

Google Ad Words & waiting for first booking!
Hello, Does anyone have any experience with Google Adwords? If so, is it working for you? I've just launched about a week ago and trying to do as much as possible to generate some interest, although - budget is tight due to looming refurbishment costs. So, I'd rather choose the right advertising str...
