Direct bookings and clear websites for Seychelles businesses
Most Seychelles businesses serve two audiences at once: visitors planning a trip from abroad and residents on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue. Groow designs websites, booking flows and search visibility that work for both, delivered fully remotely.
Where we focus
Guesthouse and hotel websites
Fast, photo-led websites for guesthouses, villas and small hotels, with room details, availability or enquiry flows and the answers guests look for before they book.
Direct booking flows
Booking and deposit flows with card payments and clear policies, so guests who find you on a platform or Instagram have a simple reason to book with you directly.
Local SEO across the islands
Google Business Profile optimisation, location pages and review routines for searches across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue, from Beau Vallon to Anse Royale and Grand Anse.
English and French content
English and French pages written naturally for each audience, with Creole where it makes local campaigns and social posts feel closer to residents.
Websites for local businesses
Mobile-first sites for professional firms, schools, retailers and service businesses in Victoria and around Mahé, with clear services and one-tap contact routes.
Google Ads for visitors
Search campaigns targeted at travellers planning a trip, with booking and enquiry tracking so you can see which keywords bring real reservations, not just clicks.
Small islands, global audience
Guesthouses, self-catering villas and small hotels across Mahé, Praslin and La Digue compete for the same visitors, often on the same booking platforms. A clear website with its own booking or enquiry flow gives guests a reason to book direct and gives you more control over your margins.
The same applies beyond tourism. Professional firms, schools and retailers in Victoria and around Mahé are judged on how easy they are to find, how credible they look and how quickly they answer.
How customers find and pay Seychelles businesses
Visitors research on Google, Maps and Instagram, compare on booking platforms and often ask a final question on WhatsApp or email. Seychellois Creole, English and French are all official languages, and French pages can help with French-speaking visitors and clients.
Residents increasingly pay by card and app. We design checkout and deposit flows around card acquiring through local banks or regional gateways such as MIPS, and local options such as MCB Juice or Airtel Money where they fit, with clear rupee pricing for local customers.
Execution notes
Seychelles’ Data Protection Act 2023 came into force in December 2023 and is overseen by the Information Commission. We design booking forms, guest records and CRMs with it in mind: clear consent, sensible retention and secure storage. Groow works remotely, over video calls, email and WhatsApp.

Questions, answered
Can you help my guesthouse get more direct bookings?
We can make direct booking easier and more attractive: a clear website, a simple booking or enquiry flow and good visibility on Google. We do not promise a specific volume of bookings.
Can guests pay a deposit online?
Yes. We integrate card payments through your bank or a gateway such as MIPS, with clear deposit, balance and cancellation rules shown before guests pay.
Do you create French content?
Yes, where it serves your audience. We plan which pages need French alongside English and write them naturally rather than machine-translating them.
How do we work together?
We work remotely. Start with the contact form, email or WhatsApp; we run discovery on a video call and share progress in regular reviews.
