Great work!

My feedback:

1)Some images don't belong to the destinations, see for example: Tsilivi from Greece

2)Add reviews / comments - in this way you'll have new content on your site (good for seo)

3)Create unique title, meta title and meta description for each destination

    <meta name="description" content="">
    <meta name="keywords" content="">

Right now I'm looking to Capri, Italy, but the search engines don't know it because the title is DESTIGOGO and there's no meta data.

This is very important for SEO.

4) If after a week your website traffic is still growing, you should consider an investment in mobile apps.

Good luck!

Hi Raresp!

Thank you for your awesome feedback!

1) True, but it belongs to Zakynthos island, where Tsivili is located. Sometimes we had to choose for a more general place near the city we are mentioning, to get a decent image. And since it is very near, we think it's ok (When you will go to Tsivili, you definately will visit Navagio beach (Shipwreck Beach).

2) Planning to!

3) Good one! Is it ok to generate it dynamically (does Google find it in then?)

4) We'll thake that into account! But we'll first focus on developing the web app further and add features :)

Thank you!

Google doesn't use the description and keyword meta tags anymore and I imagine that other search engines don't either. It is useful for the snippets that you see on the results page, though, if your page doesn't have much content.

Google understands and use meta description but Google don't understands/use meta keywords. Source - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/79812?hl=en

Another example of 1): Stranda in Norway, where the picture is looks like Ålesund. Which is relatively close but seems misleading.
