There are 10 very good reasons for advertising your property on Go South France. Go South France specialises in long term rentals and holiday villa & gite rental advertising in the South of France. These are the reasons why you should consider advertising your holiday home with Go South France:

1.) Go South France - No cost advertising

There is no charge for advertising on Go South France. We work on a booking commission only basis. Our booking commission of just 10% is probably the lowest you will find. Most of our owners build our commission fee into the advertised price of their properties - this way they get additional bookings for free!

2.) Go South France Conversion rates and Quick response

We prefer working on a performance related basis. It means that we work harder to obtain more bookings for you. Our experience shows that the quicker we respond to enquiries, the greater the chance that we have of securing the booking. We also know that on average each customer will enquire with at least 3 other websites at the same time. Our current conversion rate is 5 enquiries to each booking. We aim to respond to all booking enquiries within 3 hours and to confirm availability within 24 hours. Our target is to obtain at least 5 weeks reservations per property each year.

3.) Go South France - we do all the hard work

We do all the hard work of getting your property advertised on Go South France. We look at any current website adverts that you have and then we write your property description containing relevant keywords for the search engines. We also format your images for fast loading. But above all we create an accurate, professional and appealing advert for your holiday home to maximise potential bookings. All we ask you to do is to review the final draft before it is published. What could be more simpler?

4.) Go South France - search engine optimised

Go South France is not only a very professional looking website, it is also very 'web-clever'. Iain Laverock, Go South France's Web Master has spent the last 5 years researching web design and search engine optimisation. In addition, Jane Wilson, Go South France's Reservations Administrator has also used her previous experience of working for Google as a trained Website Assessor to design a highly efficient website. Together we have spent hundreds of hours researching keyword phrases that people use to search for gites and villas to rent in the South of France. The results have been dramatic. Every month we receive around 1500 unique website visitors. This is actual people visiting our website, as opposed to the 'website hits' figure that you are often quoted, which includes a lot of search engine spider robots crawling the site (our monthly hits figure is 197,000). According to Alexa, the internet monitoring service, Go South France is now the 7th most popular vacation rentals website for South France, just behind our sister website Go Languedoc (Number 5).

5.) Go South France - South France long term rentals specialist

Since we established Go South France we have seen a growth in the number of enquiries for long term rentals in the region. We know from our own personal experience that it is very difficult to find long term rental properties in South France advertised on the Internet. Partly this is a French legal issue and partly because other websites are set up just for short term vacation rentals. Go South France has dedicated sections just for long term rentals. As a result, Go South France is the 1st or 2nd search result for long term rental keywords with Google and Yahoo and we regularly receive 2-3 long term rental enquiries per week. If you are considering renting your holiday home over the winter months or for a prolonged period of time whilst you are away, then Go South France is the best option for you.

6.) Go South France - initial response to questions

Go South France handles all the initial enquiries about your property - availability, local area information, facilities, etc. We use our knowledge of your property (based on our House visits) and our local information gained from living in the area, to reduce the amount of initial questions that you need to answer. All we generally ask you to confirm is the availability (ie., you have not received any new reservations that we do not know about). We contact all our owners on a regular basis to obtain up-to-date availability information that we publish in your property description. Again our experience has shown us that the more complete the availability calendar is on a property, the more enquiries it will receive.

7.) Go South France - we do not touch your money

All payments from the customers are paid direct to you - we never receive any payments on your behalf. Once you have confirmed the final availability for your holiday home, we then put you in touch with the customer to arrange payments, contracts and arrival details. We will then send you an invoice for our commission approximately 10 days after the reservation is confirmed (to allow time for the customer's deposit to be paid to you).

8.) Go South France - house visits

We like to visit all of our houses that we advertise. This is so that we can get a better idea of the layout of your house and the local vicinity. It helps us enormously when we receive general enquiries from customers - "I want an old stone cottage near a beach" or "We need a house in a quiet area, all on one level, but close to a restaurant/bar" or (our personal favourite) "Do you have a house with a red bedroom". It also helps us to answer a lot of the initial questions from customers.

9.) Go South France - local knowledge

Most of the team behind Go South France live in the local area and all of the people involved have a good knowledge of the region. We are passionate about promoting the South of France as a travel destination. We have written hundreds of articles providing tourism ideas and we are always on hand to advise your customers to get the best out of their holiday.

10.) Go South France - the personal touch

You will hopefully find the people behind Go South France a pleasure to work with. We are very professional at what we do, but we do not take ourselves too seriously either. We are straight-forward, honest, hard working people, who love what we do. If you would like to take up references from other Property Owners about our service, we are more than happy to arrange this
