Innkeepers MUST have a Mobile Site...
 It's beyond time. If you don't have a mobile site, the bottom line is, you are losing business.
I'm still in awe at how many innkeepers have not moved toward a quality Mobile experience for their guests.
In light of Google's Pigeon release on July 25, 2014, without a Mobile site, you are at even more risk of not being seen promeniently in the Mobile SERPS.

Over a year ago, an article was published - Google: In Future, Pages with Bad Mobile SEO Won't Rank as Well in Mobile Search.
"Is your site not doing a good job for mobile visitors? Better get that fixed. Sites with mobile experience issues won't rank as highly in Google's mobile or smaprtphone search results, in the future."
That time is now. Don't become a Statistic. Need to talk?

It's that important!
Words of Innkeeping Encouragement
At Cumberland Falls Bed and Breakfast Inn
Innkeeper and Owner, Patti Wiles
"In challenging economic times, there exists a tendency to locate things to cut from an already tight budget. There are expenses and time associated with learning how to keep your business fiscally robust and thriving but unless you never want to hear "CHA CHING" again, make the decision to learn and to market. It's called a decision implying there is a choice, but truly, it's a mandate for survival."

Is Pigeon leaving Droppings on your Placement?
Google's latest release, on July 25, 2014, is all the talk of those of us in the world of Online Marketing. And what I'm finding is that Innkeepers that have taken heed of our warnings and advice concerning...
-
Responsive Mobile Site
-
Site Speed and Usability as per Google Guidelines
-
Ongoing Fresh Content
-
Current SEO as per Google Guidelines
-
Schema / Rich Snippets Installed
-
Authority and Publisher Tags Installed
-
Reputation Management
-
Social Media Involvement
-
Google + Business Cleaned and Claimed
-
NAP (Name, Address Phone) accuracy everywhere online
And a variety of other topics we teach in Acorn University!
... are faring very well, some even improving placement, with this latest release Google has named Pigeon.
But, that said, I see other Inns that are not keeping up, simply not faring as well. It's not too late to clean up your presence. You don't have to be left in the wake of Pigeon droppings.
Consider joining Acorn University if you want to do this yourself.
If not, consider our Professional Services Offerings where we do it for you.
Either way, if you don't keep up, the bottom line is, you are going to lose business.
