Tourism businesses rely heavily on organic search for bookings, but many never check how Google views their site. Google Search Console is a free tool that shows you exactly how your pages appear in search results, what errors are preventing visibility and what search queries bring travellers to your site. We set it up and guide you through the insights so you can keep your website healthy and visible.
Running a tourism business on Bonaire means your website is often the first point of contact for guests from the Netherlands and the USA. Yet most owners never look under the hood to see how Google sees their site. Google Search Console is a free tool from Google that shows you which search queries bring people to your site, what pages are indexed, and what technical issues might be holding you back. If you rely on organic search for bookings, it’s as essential as checking the health of your dive gear before going underwater.
Think of Search Console as a dashboard for your site’s health. It tells you: what search terms people use to find you, whether Google can index all your pages, and any errors like 404s or mobile usability issues.
See which queries bring travellers to your site (popular search terms from the Netherlands and USA)
- Index coverage and fix crawl errors before they hurt your visibility
- speed issues that could make guests bounce away
- Check mobile usability
Our approach is straightforward: we set up and verify your Search Console property for each domain, subdomain and language version you have. Then we connect your sitemap, submit URL inspection requests and fix any crawling errors that appear. Each month we check performance reports, identify which queries and pages are trending in the Netherlands and in the US, and spot opportunities to optimise content or internal links. If you already use Google Analytics and Looker Studio, we combine the Search Console data there, so you have one clear view of your online performance.
Next we implement technical fixes. We work with your web developer (or our team) to resolve 404 errors, indexing issues and mobile usability warnings. Once those basics are covered, we look deeper: are there pages that get lots of impressions but few clicks? Is your site missing out on queries like “KLM ticket Bonaire” or “best hotels near the beach”? Together we decide where to improve.
A recent example: a local dive operator noticed that bookings were slowing down. We checked Search Console and found that their dive site pages were being excluded due to ‘noindex’ tags left over from a website redesign. After correcting these and submitting a sitemap, impressions grew by 45% and clicks from “scuba diving Bonaire” doubled within two months. Simple insights, big results.
The best part? Google Search Console itself is free. We charge only for set-up, troubleshooting and ongoing analysis. Setup typically takes a few hours, and you’ll start seeing data within a day. Real improvement comes as we act on that data: fix errors, optimise pages and create content that answers what travellers are actually searching for. When combined with our Google Ads and SEO services, it forms a complete feedback loop: you know what works, why it works, and how to keep improving.
Ready to get started? Let’s make sure Google can find and love your website. We’ll set up Search Console, interpret the data and turn insights into action so your site stays healthy and visible, from the first click all the way to booking.
Summary
Google Search Console is your free window into how travellers find your site and what might be holding you back. We set it up, interpret the insights and fix any technical issues so your pages stay healthy and visible. Combine it with Analytics, Ads and our other services to always know what works and where to improve – then watch the bookings follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Google Search Console and Google Analytics?
Google Search Console shows how your site appears in search results: which queries lead to impressions and clicks, index status, and technical issues. Google Analytics tracks what visitors do after they land on your site—pages viewed, time spent, conversions. Using both together gives you the complete picture.
Is Google Search Console free?
Yes – it’s completely free. You just need to verify ownership of your site or domain. We handle the setup and then monitor and interpret the data for you.
Do I need Search Console if I already run Google Ads or SEO?
Yes. Even if you advertise or do SEO, Search Console is invaluable: it measures organic performance, highlights technical issues and shows the search terms you’re missing. It’s the foundation for any marketing strategy.
How often should I check Search Console?
We recommend reviewing it at least once a month. Our team checks it regularly and sets up email alerts for critical issues so you’re notified automatically and can relax.
Can Search Console help improve my SEO?
Definitely. Search Console reports impressions, clicks and average positions for your pages and search queries. We use that data to update titles and descriptions, adjust content, and improve click-through rates and rankings. It also flags technical issues that can hurt SEO.
Will Search Console show me all the keywords my guests search for?
Search Console provides a sample of the search queries that led to impressions and clicks. It doesn’t show every keyword, but combined with Google Ads and Analytics reports we can get a full view of what guests are searching for.
Can I set up Search Console for different languages or domains?
Absolutely. You can create separate Search Console properties for each domain, subdomain or language section of your site – like yourdomain.com/en/ and yourdomain.com/nl/. We verify and monitor each one so you get accurate data for every version.
Do I need technical skills to use Search Console?
You don’t need technical skills to view Search Console reports – the dashboard is user-friendly. However, fixing issues like indexing errors or structured data warnings may require technical changes. That’s where we come in: we interpret the data and handle the technical fixes for you.
