Help for a newbie

Hi Amanda,

and welcome to the Fluffy & Wossy Show on Old Time ITV!

Seriously, we're around half an hour or so south of you closer to Saumur. Drop us a line and we'll gladly add you to the list of people we do trade bookings with. We've stopped offering B&B now, but still get enquiries, so we'd be happy to pass any would-be B&B'ers your way!

Website looks promising. One way to get ranked higher is to get your domain name splattered as far and as wide as you possibly can. Think carefully about the keywords you choose when submitting your search engine info. Look at joining any or all of the free listings. They all have 'spiders' crawling all over them which again will help with your rankings.

We may pop up for a curry....

Bon Chance!

Hi Amanda

Ref you concern about being late for listing your chamber d hote.I personally would not worry to much as we have found in the past most of our B&B booking come 2 month up to 24 hours before the arrival date. Advising which site to list on is not easy and it is a case of trial and error. Homelidays did have an offer for 12 months free with link or 8 months without. In previous years we have found visitfrance to be good, but so far this year have only received 2 bookings from them and when you search the views this year it seems to be mainly the usa that are hitting the site .
Its also worth talking to your local tourist office some will not take your details unless your have been graded but others do so its worth having a chat with them.
Ref the other B&B in the area think it’s a good thing if you do introduce yourself but feel it might be better to do it face to face and exchange details etc. So far this year we have had 2 booking from other B&B referrals

Best of luck
