Hi everyone, this is probably a question that has been asked many times, so I'm sorry if you are sick of hearing it. However I have been told so many different pieces of advice, I simply don't know which way to turn.If you could give me one tip as to which thing to concentrate on first - what would it be?
Hi DavidA good place to start is to make sure you have a great website with interesting and valuable content. Add to your content regularly with either a blog or a news and updates section.Create a google places page and link that back to your website, encourage your customers to review your google paces page. It looks like local search might be an important aspect for you.Create a facebook page - ask your customers to "like" your page. Facebook can be a good place to interact with existing and potential guests - additionally Facebook likes (and an active Facebook page) seem to help your search ranking on Bing.Create an account on Google+ like the facebook page this is also a good place to interact with potential customers.Appart from all of that, you need to make sure that you do the basics on your website, I noticed that for example you have not mentioned Yorkshire or England on your website or Scotland for that matter. People from outside your country might not search by "Scarborough", they might be considering visiting the North of England or Scotland and if you havent mentioned these words on your website it is unlikely that they will find you.Other than that - you will have to wait. It takes time to build traffic, be careful that you concentrate on building traffic that is relevant to your website and not just any old traffic. 10 relevant visitors are more valuable than 1,000 non-relevant visitors.Finbarr
