First of all, a clarification. We asked you at the beginning what you need to take into account to win over your client and Google.
Because both –client and Google- are important.
Our advice is that, first of all,think about the customer.
Make sure that your customer feels comfortable when they visit your travel agency's website. Make sure that they have a great browsing and purchasing experience.
And, once you have achieved this, take into account Google's guidelines.. Because, of course, it is who will position you in the first results.
But Google is also increasingly taking into account user experience.
With this clarified, let's move on to the advice we promised you.
We start with theloading speedwhich has become an indispensable parameter for positioning.
If your websitetakes more than three secondsForget it. Neither your client will visit your page nor will Google take you into account.
Another factor to take into account is theweb architectureTo put it simply, you must have a menu that is understandable, easily recognizable, and that your customer does not get lost.
You must clearly tell that person who enters your websitewhat do you want me to do. Web architecture is key toreduce the dropout rate.
How can you achieve a very good web architecture? We will see this in the next point.
Indeed. A good web architecture can be done –and should be-with a complete keyword study.
The most relevant keywords should appear on the home page and category pages.
Depending on the sector, categories can be divided into subcategories.
Word research can also give us insight into which product pages are most important.
