Listing Tips

The Have your say Marine Directory is the perfect website to find out what others think of Sailing Schools, Charter Companies, chandlers and delivery skippers around the world.

To help get the most from our free marketing we have some useful guidance notes:

1. Add a photograph or LOGO. Get noticed and stand out from the rest.

2. Add your website URL. The more it's seen the higher it will climb on search engines.

3. Really try to 'sell' your sailing organisation or service by making the description as catchy and appealing as you can. Avoid descriptions that are too short or too long.

4. Pick a good price for your sailing course or charter. Only you can judge the correct price but as a guide you could do a search for similar courses/charters and see what they are doing.

5. Always keep your free listing up to date. Most options are free and easy to use.

6. If you sell a range of services, list as many as you can.

7. Double check the email address you have registered. There is no point in entering a false or incorrect email address as customers will not be able to contact you!

8. Use all the selling tools you can to make your service stand out. We have provided you with some optional tools such as 'bold listing', 'featured item' listing and additional photographs which will help your service stand out from the rest.

9. Spread the word! Tell everyone that you list your services on the Have Your Say Directory and get them to check out the site. If they use search engines to find us then search on 'Have Your Say' or 'RYA Sailing Courses'. That way these phrases will rise to the top of the index which in turn will help you.
