How to tell if your SEO has done their homework 1. B&B

Tonight while doing research for what words to optimise Rainbow Tourism.com new website, I remember an interesting trend I leant some time back that might intherest those of you that own a B&B.

Most people thoughout the world search for
Bed and Breakfast

As a rule this is the order of searches

Bed and Breakfast
B&B
B and B
Bed & Breakfast


The two highlighted in red interchand depending on what country the search was done from. Americans Tend to search nore for B and B rather than B&B

This tells me of course that if you have a B&B website, and have already had the optimisation done, that a good SEO would have known this trend, and even if the name of your business is something like Molly's B&B that a good SEO would have told you about this, and asked you to consider calling it Molly's Bed and Breakfast on the website.

Look below at the search trends for Australia, United Kingdom, United States, and New Zealand.
New Zealand is really interesting, Kiwi's didn't even start searching for B&B is general until late 2006!!! I wonder why, Bed and breakfast places have been around for years.

Anyway, click the picture below and look at the trends,
