For many wineries, SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can feel like a mystery. You know people are searching for wineries, wine clubs, and tasting rooms online, but how do you make sure they find you instead of your competitors?
We recently hosted Connor from Kru Marketing, an SEO expert who specializes in helping wineries rank higher on Google, increase tasting room reservations, and drive more online wine sales. The session focused on the biggest SEO challenges wineries face and the most effective strategies to improve search rankings.
While SEO can feel overwhelming, there are three key areas wineries should focus on first to start seeing results.
Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is one of the most important tools for local SEO. It determines whether your winery shows up in “near me” searches and Google Maps when potential visitors are looking for places to visit.
Quick Fix: Make sure your profile is complete, with updated hours, accurate location details, high-quality photos, and recent reviews.
Google prioritizes websites that offer useful, well-structured content that directly answers what people are searching for. This includes:
Quick Fix: Think about the questions your visitors ask in person—those are likely the same ones they’re searching for online!
SEO isn’t just about your website—it’s about your overall digital presence. Google considers your online reviews, mentions in articles, and backlinks from other trusted websites when determining how authoritative your winery is.
Quick Fix: Encourage happy customers to leave Google reviews and look for opportunities to be featured on wine blogs, local travel guides, and industry websites.
Connor covers even more strategies in the webinar, including common SEO mistakes wineries make and how to fix them.
Connor dives deeper into these topics and shares actionable, step-by-step guidance on how wineries can improve their SEO without needing to be an expert.
