It’s time for another SEO Advice post! Last week, I offered free SEO advice to Home Warranty Reviews. I’m going to continue my SEO Advice series today by helping out another YoungEntrepreneur.com blog reader Kevin Yapjoco, from the Sylvia Manor.

Hi!

My Recommendations

1) Use Your Keywords

Judging from your title tag, you are trying to rank for the keywords Boutique Hotel and Bacolod City. You do a good job of mentioning Bacolod City multiple times on the page (three times) but you only mention boutique hotel once. A good rule of thumb is to use the keyword every two paragraphs. Don’t keyword stuff and put in boutique hotel just for the sake of it. You should use it so that it makes sense to the readers and will help drive traffic from the search engines.

2) Add More Content

It appears that you have a very simple website design with a limited number of pages (facilities, reservations, etc). If you want to drive more traffic you should consider writing keyword-themed articles and posting them on your site. For example, an article about Bacolod City would be useful and you can mention some of the local restaurants and attractions. It’s a value add to your guests and will help drive Bacolod City related traffic to your website. Think of the different keywords that your target audience would enter into Google and create content around those keywords so you can get a greater share of the search engine traffic.

3) SpyFu Recommendations

According to SpyFu, here is how you rank for the important keywords for your site:

• #11 bacolod hotels
• #12 bacolod hotels
• #16 bacolod city map
• #17 bacolod city
• #17 bacolod city map

All of your results are on the second page which greatly reduces your visibility compared to being on page one. Get more links to your site, especially from other Bacolod related websites. Because they will be relevant links to Bacolod City, your ability to get on page one will be greatly increased.

Good luck Kevin!
