Good morning, we have recently gone alone in managing our holiday cottage.
I have created a website an this is now active, however it does not appear on the google search engine. Any ideas?
www.romancottagecolerne.co.uk
I would welcome your feedback on its content.
Thank you
Rich

It takes a lot of hard work and persistence to get a website to appear in Google Search. You need to research keywords, work out what are best for you, post content on a regular basis and just keep on working at it! There is no easy solution. Lots of "companies" will offer you SEO (search engine optimisation) placement but few deliver. I have yet to find one who will. Facebook, Twitter presence linked to your website will help ... refreshing your site as often as you can, everybody is fighting to get on page 1 and not many manage it. Good luck
Ciao, Debbie

Thank you Debbie.
This is a steep learning curve for us. We initially advertised our cottage through an agent, although this didn't work out for us.
Now trying the independent route.
Fingers crossed

We live in our own renovated cottage and feel others should share this experience.

It's not as easy as just having a website, it reportedly costs OD £5m a year to keep at the top of the google searches. Get yourself on some of the many book direct with the owner Facebook groups and get your name out there with you website address. It's not easy and can take a lot of time everyday advertising, answering questions and looking at people's requests but it does work.
It used to be the case that you had to submit your new website to the search engines, but I understand that’s no longer necessary (calling on any experts to correct me here!).
However, it’s likely to be a week or more before your website URL will be known to Google and returned in a search.
Getting your website to be found based on keywords is a different matter entirely, and all the talk of SEO comes into play.
