Tips and tricks for your website – TECHNICAL SEO

  • In order to provide your client the best experience on your website, you should use a helpful tool – breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs are here to help your client keep track of their moving through your website and with them they can easily navigate through your pages. They are also good for your ranking on Google and may help you boost your page to the first page of search results.
  • A step that is also important and you may consider implementing on your website is the landing page. A landing page is a page that appears in response to clicking on a search engine and it shows some kind of result (in our case that can be a yacht page, blog post, etc.)
  • The conversion page is closely linked to the landing page. The conversion page is a page in which clients takes an action (for example- sending you an inquiry about the yacht or book the yacht directly). It is essentially a sales page where the ultimate goal is to convert the visitor into a client.

    Special tip: There has to be a maximum of 3 steps (clicks) between landing pages and conversion page.

  • Links to your social networks need to be visible and easily accessible to your clients. Being active in social media helps attain brand awareness and keeps your clients engaged.
  • Make your links and URLs user-friendly. URLs are important when it comes to marketing, ranking on Google. Unattractive URLs are not only hard for you to read and remember, but search engines have the same problem with ranking them in a usable and reliable format (this is how Google works).
  • If some other website has a link that leads to your website, your website will be immediately better ranked on Google and vice versa. This is called cross-linking and it is a must for SEO!

At the end of the day make sure you are genuine on your yacht charter website. Simply stating facts in the content that you can not deliver will backfire. All of these tips and tricks can be perfected through time, you will add your own, so keep the pace slow.
It is better to make a great website than a fast and poor one. It is a marathon, not a sprint.

And remember- PEOPLE BUY FROM PEOPLE!

Till next time, stay digital!
