Escapes Guides

Welcome to the Escapes Guides blog, which actually has very little to do with our tourism publications and instead, is where you'll find occasional posts aimed at helping the small tourism business owner to get the most out of the internet.

Over the years, we've worked closely with key people from Google, with developers of a leading CMS (content management system) and with many others whose knowledge of all things geeky and techie is second to none.

As long time publishers of several tourist information websites and digital magazines, we know a thing or two when it comes to navigating the minefield that is the world-wide-web.

We've become SEO experts. We've had to, to ensure our websites rank well amongst the numerous large "information" sites out there. You know the ones we mean. They're the ones you click on, only to find a message that says something along the lines of "sorry, but we don't have any information on X at the moment, be the first to add your comments and if you're the owner, log in here." They're the ones that are anything but information sites, because they actually contain no useful information whatsoever.

Google is in the process of taking steps to deal with these guys, but that's another story.

It probably won't come as too big a surprise then when we tell you that members of the team behind Escapes Travel Guides also build, host and maintain websites, as well as offering ad-hoc copywriting and press-release writing/distribution services for the small business.

If we can help you with any of these things, don't hesitate to contact us.
