In our article, How to analyze the SEO of my hotel’s website, we will come back to what SEO is and we will present different tools to establish an SEO diagnosis of its site.
WHAT IS SEO?
Natural referencing, more generally called SEO for ‘Seach Engine Optimization’ aims to optimize your rank in the results obtained during a search engine query. Of course, the better your site is referenced, the more visitors you will get.
Natural referencing in 2017 :
� 90% of visits come from a search engine,
� 75% of Internet users start their purchasing process on a search engine,
� 90% of clicks on the Google search engine are on the first page of results,
� 70% of Internet users ignore sponsored search results and visit natural results.
It is therefore essential for every hotel owner to carry out a diagnosis of the referencing of his website. In addition, the visits generated by natural referencing represent potential sales over the long term. Indeed, these visits do not result from the advertising and communication budget, only from the optimization of referencing.
So let’s take a look at the free tools that allow you to diagnose your search engine optimization.
