Winning organic demand in the Indian Ocean requires more than generic playbooks. It means understanding traveler intent across continents, the nuances of local business ecosystems, and the realities of operating on islands where logistics, hosting, and service delivery can shape outcomes. Korhogo Agency brings this precision to SEO in the Seychelles, building a search-first growth engine that aligns with your commercial goals. We pair a market-grounded strategy with reliable execution: technical excellence for fast, indexable websites; research-driven editorial plans that speak to actual customers; and conversion-centric design that turns attention into bookings, leads, and repeat stays. Whether you run a boutique hotel on La Digue, a yacht charter out of Eden Island, a real estate agency serving high-net-worth buyers, or a tour company crafting eco-conscious excursions, our team transforms organic traffic into measurable business outcomes—without adding complexity to your day-to-day. Expect a partner that prioritizes results, communicates clearly, and helps your brand grow with sustainable, search-led momentum.
Why search demand in the Seychelles is an opportunity hiding in plain sight
The Seychelles attracts high-intent audiences, many of whom begin their journey months before arrival. They compare islands, accommodations, seasons, and experiences from their home markets—France, Germany, the UK, Italy, UAE, South Africa, India, and beyond—long before they discover local providers. This behavior creates a unique SEO landscape: demand is global, while supply is local and specialized. Brands that master visibility in source markets, not only within local results, command outsized share.
We see five characteristics that make this market special:
- High average order value and long lead times: luxury trips, charters, villas, and real estate searches carry elevated value and complex decision cycles.
- Cross-border discovery: intent builds through multilingual research, reviews, and social proof well before a traveler searches near Victoria or Mahé.
- Rich media expectations: travelers demand detail—high-resolution images, immersive itineraries, transparent pricing and availability, and trust markers that de-risk the decision.
- Seasonality and micro-seasonality: wind patterns, monsoon seasons, coral spawning, turtle hatching, and visibility for diving shape when people search and book.
- Local signal strength: Google Business Profile, map pack prominence, reviews, and structured data often determine whether a brand wins the last click.
For non-tourism sectors—marine services, logistics, yachting maintenance, professional services, fintech, and government tenders—the game is similar: small but valuable segments, niche queries, and decision-makers who expect authoritative pages and real-world proof of capability. Success means assembling a framework that captures intent globally and converts locally.
The Korhogo Agency approach: precise, practical, and built to convert
Our methodology is simple: measure what matters, fix what slows you down, publish what your audience seeks, earn the right signals of authority, and make it effortless to take the next step. Every engagement is customized, yet we follow a sequence that eliminates guesswork.
1) Discovery, measurement, and baselines
- Stakeholder interviews to align on targets: occupancy and ADR for hotels, average charter value for marine, lead volume and close rates for real estate or B2B services.
- Analytics readiness: GA4 configured with events for calls, WhatsApp clicks, form submissions, booking engine steps, and brochure downloads; Search Console connected for each language and property variant; Looker Studio dashboards for weekly insight.
- Attribution and lead quality: CRM or booking system integration to map organic sessions to revenue; call tracking for mobile-heavy traffic; source-market segmentation to see where demand is truly coming from.
From the first week, we establish clean data so you can see how organic performance translates to business outcomes—not just rankings.
2) Technical foundations that scale
The fastest way to unlock growth is to remove friction. We conduct a comprehensive audit of crawlability, internal linking, indexation, and Core Web Vitals, with special attention to image-heavy sites typical in hospitality and real estate. We optimize media pipelines, implement lazy loading and next-gen formats, and advise on CDN placement that minimizes latency for users in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This is the scaffolding that supports durable gains, and it is unglamorous but essential. Our goal: a site that is unequivocally technically sound.
- Architecture: logical URL structures for islands, categories, experiences, guides, and FAQs that support topic clusters and faceted navigation.
- Indexation control: eliminate duplicates from booking engines and parameterized URLs; canonicalization and robots directives to keep the right pages in the index.
- Schema markup: LocalBusiness, Hotel, TravelAgency, Tour, Product, and FAQ where relevant; breadcrumbs for better SERP real estate.
- Internationalization: hreflang for English, French, German, Italian, Arabic, and other priority languages; clear geo-targeting signals for country-specific sections.
- Security and trust: HTTPS, payment gateway reassurance, and safety notices for activities and marine conditions.
- Hosting choices: edge caching, image CDNs, and DDoS protection; recommendations for providers with excellent peering to Indian Ocean routes.
3) Research-driven editorial and on-page excellence
We build topic clusters around traveler intent and local expertise. For each island, niche, and season, we create pages that satisfy users and outperform aggregators. Our editorial work targets the sweet spot between utility and brand voice, with a robust internal linking model that helps crawlers and humans alike find the next best action. When we say content, we mean assets that earn trust and move bookings forward.
- Experience hubs: deep guides for Mahé, Praslin, La Digue, and outer islands; itineraries by trip length, budget, and traveler type (honeymoon, family, eco, sailing, diving).
- Decision enablers: seasonality explainers, weather calendars, visibility for diving and snorkeling, marine life calendars, ferry and flight logistics, sustainability and park fees.
- Transactional pages that convert: crystal-clear inclusions, policies, live inventory, and pricing transparency where feasible; scannable layouts with trust signals.
- Multilingual localization: native-level English and French, plus German and Italian where necessary; consistent terminology and tone across languages with hreflang governance.
- Accessibility and UX writing: descriptive alt text, keyboard navigation, concise microcopy for forms and booking widgets.
4) Local SEO with global reach
Google Business Profile is your storefront in the map pack. We optimize categories, service areas, products, amenities, and photos; implement UTM-coded links to measure actions; and craft update cadence and Q&A that reflect real traveler questions. Citations across .sc directories and reputable travel platforms improve local consistency and trust. We also develop location pages with embedded maps, schema, and locally resonant content that makes your brand the obvious nearby choice.
5) Authority building and digital PR
In the Seychelles, strategic relationships matter. We develop ethical, evergreen backlinks through partnerships with conservation groups, hospitality associations, destination marketing organizations, and travel media. We pitch authoritative guides and unique data to editors, collaborate with creators who have relevant audiences, and sponsor initiatives that align with your brand values. Our approach emphasizes quality, relevance, and risk management—no shortcuts that endanger your domain.
International SEO for tourism, luxury, and professional services
Most prospective customers discover Seychelles-based brands while searching in their home markets. We design international structures that meet them where they are, then guide them seamlessly toward contacting or booking with you.
- Site structure: language subdirectories with clear country targeting; consistent navigation and mirrored content depth across locales.
- Hreflang governance: automated sitemaps and quality checks to prevent conflicts and fallback errors.
- Localization beyond translation: local currencies, payment options, regional proof points (e.g., UK travel agent accreditations, EU consumer protections), and content that addresses market-specific objections.
- Demand modeling: keyword and SERP analysis for FR, DE, IT, UK, GCC, and Southern Africa to prioritize topics and plan link acquisition in the right languages.
- Booking and lead workflows: CRM rules that route inquiries by language and time zone; SLA templates to ensure fast, culturally appropriate follow-up.
For finance, legal, and real estate, we incorporate E-E-A-T principles: author bios, credentialed contributors, citations to official regulations, and case studies that demonstrate competence without breaching confidentiality. The result is a site that wins trust at first glance, a must for YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) topics and high-stakes decisions.
Conversion-centered experiences that turn interest into bookings and leads
Traffic without outcomes is a cost. We design pages and funnels where micro and macro actions are obvious and friction-free, so improved visibility translates into measurable results.
- Interfaces that convert: persistent CTAs for call, email, and WhatsApp; intelligent forms that ask only what is required; booking widgets that surface availability early.
- Evidence and trust: real photos, verified reviews, press mentions, sustainability credentials, and safety information that de-risks the decision.
- Speed and clarity: instant feedback on form submission, progress indicators on booking steps, and concise policies that reduce abandonment.
- CRO experimentation: A/B tests on headlines, layouts, inclusions, and trust placements; segment analysis by device and language.
- Post-enquiry orchestration: email and messaging sequences that reassure, clarify next steps, and nudge toward a deposit or site visit.
Our dashboards connect the dots between sessions, assisted conversions, pipeline value, and closed deals, so you can defend budgets with confidence. The goal is not traffic; it is conversions that grow the business.
Measurement, reporting, and the first 90 days
Our reporting is proactive and actionable. We do not flood you with vanity metrics. We highlight what moved, why it moved, and what we will do next.
- Weekly snapshots: organic sessions, positions for priority pages, query-level insights, and emerging opportunities in target markets.
- Monthly business reviews: pipeline, booking value, lead quality, and cohort analysis; cannibalization fixes and roadmap updates.
- Quarterly planning: seasonality adjustments, new cluster launches, and international expansion decisions based on profitable demand.
The first 90 days focus on compounding wins:
- Weeks 1–2: data validation, audit, quick technical fixes, GBP uplift, and content gap mapping.
- Weeks 3–6: launch core hub pages and high-intent landing pages; compress and re-tag media; implement schema and internal links.
- Weeks 7–12: publish supporting guides, begin PR outreach, and roll out CRO experiments on top-revenue flows.
By the end of month three, we expect meaningful movement in impressions, rankings for priority queries, and on-site engagement. By months four to six, organic contribution to inquiries and bookings typically surpasses paid channels in efficiency, setting the stage for sustained growth in revenue.

Sector-specific depth: hospitality, marine, real estate, and B2B
Hospitality and experiences
For hotels, villas, and tour operators, we engineer discovery and decision pages that outperform aggregator templates. From rate parity messaging to amenity schema, from family and honeymoon landing pages to island-specific mini-guides, we combine merchandising with findability. We align on KPIs like occupancy, ADR, LOS, and booking channel mix, and we help you retake direct share from OTAs with value propositions and incentives that comply with platform rules yet favor your owned channels.
Marine and charters
We address the complexities of tide, wind, safety, and real-time availability. Charter and yacht operators get dynamic experience pages with route suggestions, seasonal considerations, and equipment detail that builds confidence. We integrate calendars, deposits, and insurance FAQs—paired with schema and media optimization so pages load fast even with rich galleries.
Real estate and professional services
High-value, low-volume queries require authority. We produce pages that explain legal frameworks, freehold vs. leasehold, residency, investment vehicles, and due diligence steps with clarity. E-E-A-T signals—author credentials, citations, and case narratives—differentiate you from thin directories and generic portals.
Frequently addressed technical nuances for island operations
- Media discipline: compress, convert, and lazy-load large images; serve responsive sizes; curate galleries to balance aesthetics and speed.
- Edge performance: choose CDNs with strong EMEA routing; cache HTML where safe; optimize TTFB for long-haul users.
- Booking engines: avoid duplicate content, control indexation of parameterized URLs, and synchronize analytics events across iframes and subdomains.
- Structured data: Hotel, Tour, and Offer markup improves rich results; LocalBusiness schema enhances map pack eligibility.
- Mobile-first: thumb-friendly CTAs, WhatsApp and call actions for on-island users, and offline-friendly assets where relevant.
- Trust and safety: clear policies on cancellations, weather disruptions, and sustainability practices; eligibility badges and third-party verifications.
How we earn and compound authority
Authority is a flywheel. We publish best-in-class guides, support them with digital PR, and reinforce them through internal linking and updates. Over time, these assets become reference points for journalists and creators, generating naturally earned mentions. Our approach reduces dependence on fragile tactics and insulates your domain from algorithmic swings.
- Linkable assets: annual marine life calendars, route planners, downloadable packing lists, and conservation explainers aligned with local NGOs.
- Partnerships: co-created content with hotels, airlines, diving schools, and eco-institutions; sponsorships of beach clean-ups and reef restoration with coverage.
- Press outreach: French, German, Italian, and English media pitches with data or expert commentary; photo assets and quotes ready for editors.
Data you can use, decisions you can trust
We translate complexity into clarity. Through tailored analytics dashboards, we show how each cluster and campaign contributes to pipeline and bookings. We slice performance by market, language, and device, so you can allocate budgets with confidence. Insights flow into next sprints, ensuring you are always investing in what works and trimming what does not.
