We design and build websites, and handle SEO, AI search, Google and Meta Ads, local search and social media. Most of our island work is for real estate agencies, brokerages and agents, and for the villa, concierge and transfer businesses that visitors book before they land.

(hello, Sint Maarten)

Someone in Toronto searches for a condo in Simpson Bay, and someone in Amsterdam for a villa near Orient Bay. Your business should show up for the side and the bay they mean, be named when they ask ChatGPT or Google’s AI, and be easy to reach before they land. We work remotely, in accounts you own.

We handle SEO: site audits and technical fixes, schema markup, content and link building.

Island search starts far from the island. A buyer weighing a move searches for months before the search for a listing: which side to live on, whether a non-resident can own freehold, what residency takes. By the time they search for a villa or a condo, they often know which agency they trust. So we write guide pages that answer the early questions, and keep them from burying the listings.

The island also goes by many names. People search for Sint Maarten, St. Maarten, St Maarten, Saint Martin, St. Martin and SXM, and the French side writes Saint-Martin. Your pages use the names your customers use, in titles and headings where they fit, never as a pile of variants.

(website design and development)

We design and build websites on WordPress or Next.js, and custom code where a site needs it, choosing the platform by how much the site needs to grow. Every site we build has SEO built in. We also take on redesigns, speed work and maintenance.

Language is the first design decision here. English is spoken across the island, and French is the official language of the French side. A site for customers on both sides, or for visitors from France, needs French pages a person has checked, each at its own address, so search engines can show French speakers the French page.

Saint-Martin, the French side, is part of the European Union; Sint Maarten, the Dutch side, is not. We keep inquiry and booking forms to what the request needs, so there is less personal data to hold on either side.

AI search in Sint Maarten

We work to get your business named in Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity. The work goes by two names: answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO).

People planning a move or a trip ask assistants the long questions. Which side of the island suits a family? Can a non-resident buy a condo? How far is Orient Bay from the airport? We answer the questions your customers ask in plain, quotable sentences on your pages, so an assistant has something to cite.

(local search)

Search on the island splits by side first, Dutch or French, and then by bay, beach and town. Sint Maarten, the Dutch side, covers the south, and Saint-Martin, the French side, the north, and people cross between them every day.

  1. The side is a search of its own. Many buyers start by asking whether to buy on the Dutch side or the French side, because the two have different laws, currencies and official languages. A listing or a guide that says which side it is on, and what that means, answers their first question.
  2. Bays and beaches are place names. People search for Simpson Bay, Maho and Cole Bay on the Dutch side, and for Marigot, Grand Case, Orient Bay and Terres Basses on the French side. Each area you serve gets a page of its own about your work there.
  3. The main airport and the cruise port are on the Dutch side. Princess Juliana International Airport sits between Maho and Simpson Bay, and cruise ships dock at Philipsburg. Transfer, tour and rental pages answer how far a place is from both.

Real estate is most of our work on the island, so it comes first. The rest follows an economy that runs on visitors: villas, rentals and the services people book before they arrive.

    For real estate agencies and agents in Sint Maarten, we run SEO and social media built around the questions buyers research from abroad. Few buyers are on the island when they start looking. They research from home for months: which side to buy on, whether a non-resident can own freehold, what residency takes. The search for a listing comes last, often after they have chosen the agency whose guides they have been reading.

    For a Sint Maarten real estate agency, the SEO work defends the rankings its site already had and widens it into those research questions, and its social media carries the same island content.

    For a Sint Maarten real estate agent, we built a site that began with one development and grew into one about the island: realty, visas, island updates and concierge, with guide, hub and near-me pages and vacation rental listings.

    For a Sint Maarten real estate brokerage that sells and rents villas, we built a WordPress site with a page for each service, from private showings to yacht and waterfront services, a page for each villa and a blog. We look after it on an ongoing basis.

    A villa page has to say which side and which bay the villa is on, and how far it is from the beach and the airport, because a buyer or a guest abroad cannot drive past it first.

    Winter is the island’s busy season, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Pages for the winter should be indexed and ranking by the fall.

    For concierge, transfer and tour businesses on the island, we build websites that take inquiries and bookings from visitors before they land. Many visitors arrange what they need on the island before they land. The same brokerage’s concierge brand has a site of its own for airport transfers, yacht charters, water taxis and private events, with villa search in grid, list and map views and inquiry forms for consultations and private chef reservations.

    For an airport transfer company, we built a one-page site in custom code that switches between English and French. LocalBusiness and TaxiService schema tell search engines what the business is, and the booking form sends the trip details as a WhatsApp message.

    For Sint Maarten property managers, we rebuild the website templates that platforms such as AppFolio, RentCafe and ShowMojo ship into full sites with property pages, while the manager’s software keeps running the rentals.

    An island manager’s site speaks to two audiences: guests and tenants looking for a place, and owners who may live abroad and want to know their condo or villa is looked after. Each gets pages of its own.

    For one property manager, we rebuilt a five-page site into more than 250 pages, with a page for every property it manages.

(before you hire)

Whether you hire us or someone else for SEO, a website or paid ads, these five questions show who has done the island homework.

  1. Ask who will own the accounts.The domain, Google Ads account, Business Profile and analytics should be registered to your company from the start, so they stay yours whoever you work with.
  2. Ask which side they would start with.An agency that knows the island will ask whether your customers are on the Dutch side, the French side or still at home planning the trip, and plan pages and ads for each.
  3. Ask how they handle English and French.If you serve the French side or visitors from France, ask for French pages a person has checked, each at its own address, rather than a translation widget.
  4. Ask to see the location setting.Any agency you consider for PPC should show you this setting on a live campaign and explain how it reaches buyers and guests who are still planning from abroad.
  5. Check what reviewers say was done.A star count says little on its own. Look for reviewers who name the project, such as a new site or an ad campaign. Kihan Marketing is rated 5.0 on Google.

(FAQs)

Do you have an office in Sint Maarten?

No. We work remotely, inside accounts you own. The website, ad account, Business Profile and Search Console stay in your name, and every change we make shows up in them.

Do you work on both the Dutch and the French side?

Yes. Our island work includes a real estate agency, a real estate agent, a villa brokerage with a concierge brand, and an airport transfer company. Pages, profiles and ads follow the side your business is on and the side your customers are looking at.

Can you build a site in English and French?

Yes. The airport transfer company’s site we built switches between English and French on one page. On a larger site, each language gets its own pages at their own addresses, so Google can show French speakers the French page.

Do you work with real estate agents and brokerages in Sint Maarten?

Yes. It is most of our work on the island: guide pages for buyers researching from abroad, area and near-me pages, listings, social media, and a landing page with Meta ads for a development launch.

When should a rental or tour business get its pages ready for the season?

Months ahead. Visitors plan from abroad, so pages for the winter season should be indexed and ranking by the fall. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and a business that stays open through it can say so on its site and its Business Profile.

Can you help a business that serves both residents and visitors?

Yes. Residents search on the island, often with “near me”, while visitors search from home weeks or months before they arrive. Each gets pages of its own and ad campaigns of its own, so neither pays for the other’s clicks.

Start with a marketing audit that shows which island searches your site and Business Profile already reach.
