The Sunshine Coast Accommodation web portal and it's associated domain name sunshinecoast-bb.com has established itself as a site to be reckoned with, and is now ranked as high as #2 in Google, #7 in Yahoo, and #1 in MSN for several industry specific keyword and keyphrase searches.

Omnisquid's other web properties and portals also rank high in Yahoo and MSN when searching for b&b accommodation. For example, the table below shows (when performing a search for 'sunshinecoast bc b&b accommodation') www.sunshinecoast-bb.com is ranked #2 in Google and MSN, while in Yahoo www.dash-bb.com is ranked #2 and www.northshore-bb.com is ranked #3 and #6.

An unexpected by-product is the relatively high ranking in google when using the key word 'spa' in the search.

Omnisquid's Availability Calendar and Reservation Software are valuable tools for you and your guests. Not using it could cost you money. (read more...)

There's more than one way to turn away customers and if you're not using Omnisquid's Dynamic Reservation Logic - Availability Calendar and Online Reservation Sytem your giving them at least 2 reasons to move on.

Nothing turns a website user off faster than a slow loading page. Omnisquid's reservation software is noticeably faster than other similar systems. Omnisquid's Availability Calendar displays your booked and available nights blindingly fast and what's more it's extremely easy to use making your potential guest's browsing time a pleasurable and completely frustration free experience, guaranteeing your guests will stay on your website to make that important and valuable reservation.

Not displaying your real time availability or not allowing browsers of your website to make a confirmed reservation in real time could be a mistake. Why limit your guests' choices when it comes to booking a night or two at your B&B or cottage? It doesn't make any sense. Using the 'I like the personl touch' argument is groundless. It's not about you. It's all about making the browsing experience an easy one and giving every opportunity available for a potential booking to become a confirmed booking and more importantly a repeat customer.

An online reservation system is just another tool for your guest to use, and in no way does it limit the personal touch. If guests want the personal touch they'll contact you. If you insist on chatting you can pick up the phone after you receive your confirmation email.

Why would you choose to turn guests away? If Omnisquid's Dynamic Reservation Logic is not part of your business and website the potential for losing customers is almost guaranteed.
