Frequently asked questions
How long until I reach Google's top 10?
For low-competition keywords, 2 to 3 months. For competitive ones (e.g. 'Algarve accommodation'), 6 to 12 months. We don't guarantee positions, and you should be wary of anyone who does.
Can I do SEO without a blog?
Yes, up to a point. Local SEO works with a Google Business Profile and well-optimised pages, but to keep growing you need content.
How much is a Google Business Profile worth for a rental?
A lot. For many accommodation searches in an area, Google shows the map with listings above the websites. A well-kept listing is worth more than a bad site. Note: Google only accepts listings for places with in-person service, such as a staffed reception; holiday homes managed remotely are not eligible.
