Demand for Devon holiday parks is steady and predictable. The shape of the year doesn’t change, which makes it possible to plan website work around it.
What should holiday parks do with this?
Have your website ready before January. The biggest single jump in searches happens in January. Updated accommodation pages, current prices and availability, and any new facilities need to be live and indexed before then, so autumn is the time to do the work.
Don’t judge your SEO by November. A drop in organic traffic in the autumn is mostly seasonal. Compare each month with the same month last year, not the month before, to see whether your visibility is actually improving.
Give campsite pages a spring refresh. Campsite searches build from March to July, so touring, camping and glamping pages benefit from a check in late winter, when demand is starting to climb.
Answer the questions people ask in January. Early-year searchers are planning, not booking tomorrow. Clear information on accommodation types, facilities, dog policies, location and what’s nearby helps them shortlist you, and it’s the kind of detail AI search tools use when they recommend places to stay.
What does this data not show?
This data covers two broad searches. Holiday park traffic also comes from many more specific searches, such as a town, a type of stay or a facility, and those can have their own timing. The figures are Ahrefs estimates of UK searches, so treat them as a reliable guide to the shape of the year rather than exact counts.
To see how your own park’s visibility follows the season, compare your Search Console data year on year.
