Get found
Make it easier for the right people to find - and choose - your business.
Around 90% of travellers research their trip online before they even leave home. They compare reviews, browse photos, check websites and save the places they want to visit. By the time they arrive, many have already decided where they're going.
Getting onto that list before visitors arrive is often much easier than persuading someone to change their plans halfway through the day. A family heading to the beach might walk past your business, but if they've already chosen where they're having lunch or which attractions they're visiting, it's much harder to tempt them through the door.
That means getting found isn't just about Google. Your Google Business Profile, Tripadvisor listing, Booking.com profile, reviews, social media profiles and tourism websites all help customers decide whether your business makes the shortlist before they even set off.

Business Profiles & Reviews

Websites
Turn interest into customers.
A website should make life easier for both you and your customers.
Whether someone wants to book a table, place a click and collect order, plan a visit or get in touch, your website should help them do it quickly and easily - and then send you all the information you need to know for that order, booking or enquiry.
I build websites that are easy to use, easy to update and designed around the way your customers actually behave.

Understand what's working.
Your website can tell you far more than how many people have visited.
Analytics can reveal which pages people spend time on, what products they're interested in, where visitors come from and whether they're returning or discovering you for the first time.
These insights can help you make better decisions about products, promotions and future opportunities.
Seasonal events, promotions and campaigns can also be tracked, helping you understand what delivers results and where to focus your efforts.

BUILD CUSTOMER LOYALTY
Make every season count
Different seasons bring different opportunities.
Spring is often about preparing for the start of the season.
Summer is about making the most of visitor numbers.
Autumn is a chance to maintain momentum and reach out to locals.
Winter can be used to strengthen local support, encourage repeat visits and prepare for the year ahead.
Having run a business in a seasonal tourist town myself, I understand how customer behaviour changes throughout the year and how small adjustments can help you make the most of every season.
