Have your services changed? Did you recently add new luxury units to your fleet? Are your hours of operation up to date? These are important questions to frequently answer as a business owner for your website. If you added a new feature to your business, write new content on the “services offered” section. If you added new units to your existing fleet, take some high-quality pictures of the inside and outside of the units and showcase them on your website.
