My name is Sébastien Leidgens, and I'm the founder of Let's Go My Love. I'm 40 years old, I'm originally from Belgium (more precisely Embourg, 10 min from the center of Liège, in Wallonia) and I now live between Brussels, Paris and Munich. This page is an opportunity to tell you a little about how Let's Go My Love came to be.

We're a guide to the best romantic accommodations. Our main audience: couples celebrating a special occasion. We started in Belgium in the spring of 2021 and are cautiously opening up to France, Italy and Switzerland. Let's Go My Love is a bit like an address book written by a couple who have visited the whole world.

We spend 90% of our time choosing and describing quality places. Each place is like a dish that simmers for hours. Once published, the place is reviewed and updated several times a year. We're in constant contact with the owners and we travel a lot, all the while working.

A little background... In July 2020, I aspire to launch a new project in the world of travel, but which one? At that time, I'm working as Digital Marketing Director for the French industrial company Re-uz, which specializes in reusables. I was in charge of the digital department. Prior to that, I had also helped develop the luxury travel agency Little Guest, which today employs around 30 people and selects the finest hotels for families.

As is often the case, the idea for this project came from a personal need. As my partner, Sylvie, celebrates her 30th birthday in September 2020, I'm looking for a romantic place with a really special atmosphere. I go to Instagram, Google, Booking.com but each time I'm left wanting more. In the end, my choice fell on la Cabane de Poupette in Brussels, not without difficulty! We had a great time.

In the weeks that followed, I put down on paper the following idea: to bring together the most romantic accommodations in a stylish collection. And I try to find an editorial line: places run by passionate people, with a romantic atmosphere and a real personality, a bit like a book or a painting. We're not necessarily looking for luxurious places. Above all, we want each place to be unique and different from all the others.

Around April 2021, I moved into the Silversquare coworking space in Brussels and started looking for a team, as I couldn't see myself going it alone! The 1st person I met was Pauline, a French student, who decided to put her trust in me even though the site wasn't even online and the name hadn't yet been found.

And the name itself? My partner Sylvie, who works for Canva, came up with part of the name during a lively discussion, as did the logo. We love the name because it's spontaneous, simple and international. I also love the idea of taking off without thinking.

In the months that followed, I decided to surround myself with interns whom I trained in digital marketing at the same time: Camélia, Laureen and Omérine in particular. An almost all-female team in the end. Each of them leaves a precious mark on the project.

Today, 3 of us work on the site (a team that is Belgian, French and German) and we collaborate with 4 or 5 freelancers on a weekly basis. We travel a lot, but above all we make sure we can pay our salaries and bills. We're getting there slowly, and that motivates us all the more.

Our site is very cutting-edge, with meticulous attention paid to display speed, SEO and content. We spend a lot of time on it. We want the best for our partners and visitors. For us, the journey starts with the online search.

What we're most pleased about is that couples are very engaged with the site, remember the name and come back later. And frankly, that's no easy feat when you consider the competition in tourism. We can't wait to see what the future holds!

No, we do not take any commission on your reservations. You only pay for your subscription. Your customers are your customers. No bad surprises!

Yes, we always do a post on Facebook (35,000 subscribers) and Instagram (13,500 subscribers) to introduce your location to our audience.

Yes, absolutely, and that's why it's possible that your application may be rejected or temporarily refused. We pay attention to every detail, look at online customer reviews and try to predict whether your venue might appeal to couples. In Belgium, for example, we have decided never to exceed 150 locations (approx.) to guarantee the highest possible editorial quality.

We have a very good system for this. We always encourage couples to mention Let's Go My Love. Either when contacting you (by email or phone) or during the booking process. There's probably a "comment" field in your booking form? Or even better: you create a LETSGOMYLOVE promo code in your booking engine, such as Cubilis. Each couple who mentions Let's Go My Love can then benefit from a little extra that we choose together: discount on the stay, bottle of prosecco, etc. This motivates couples to book directly, and at the same time enables you to measure your return on investment.

Yes, that's one of our great strengths! We have over 15 years' experience in the field. This generates almost 4500 targeted visitors every day from all over the world who are looking for a romantic location. Try us out in Google! We're in 1st position on Google on a huge number of queries. We take content very seriously (a bit like traditional travel guides) and that's what makes our SEO so good.

Couples are our audience! We want to know everything about them. What makes them decide to book? Around 80% of our visitors are women, and around 50% are celebrating a special occasion: an anniversary or a marriage proposal, for example. Many are just browsing Let's Go My Love and are tempted by a coup de coeur. We're constantly trying to understand what makes them tick, and that's what drives our day-to-day work.

Yes, some of the establishments on Let's Go My Love are freely published by our team. We choose these places ourselves if we think they fit in with our editorial line. Very often, we remove them. These places have a much lower visibility than our partners, and always redirect visitors to booking.com, our partner in our affiliate program. This also allows us to test and see what works with couples.

Your business may include several units: for example, an estate around a lake with 8 cabins, or an estate with 3 wellness suites. In this case, you can decide whether to create a single page for all your units, or one page per unit. The 1st option is less expensive and groups everything together. The 2nd option gives you much greater visibility, more precise presentation text and 12 photos for each location. You can choose the option that suits you best.

Yes, as long as couples can book for a few hours during the day, this is not a problem. We already work with a lot of daytime venues, including private spas.

Since January 2021, we've been working with a huge number of partners who own a romantic establishment and want to increase their bookings. Here are a few tips we often give to make the most of your collaboration with Let's Go My Love :

1. Have a photographer come to your establishment to do a pretty, romantic shoot that's sure to get people excited. We love the photos we've taken for El Clandestino, for example. It builds confidence and is a great incentive to book.

2. Make a few short 20-30 second smartphone videos in portrait format, walking around your establishment when it's perfectly clean with candles, for example. It doesn't have to be professional or edited. Photos sometimes don't tell enough, and videos are better at telling a story and building confidence.

3. Create a promo code on your official website and share it with us to encourage bookings and better measure the bookings that come our way. Example: a LETSGOMYLOVE promo code giving a 10% discount on a stay. Customers love promo codes because they give them a sense of rarity.

4. Choose an attractive, easy-to-remember name for your establishment! The name is very important: it creates desire and envy. Try to choose a name that can be understood all over the world, and avoid puns that are only understood by people who speak your language.

5. Try to be clear about your vision: are you offering a b&b, a wellness or a luxury hotel? Are you more upscale or unusual? In general, a place that's too hybrid and lacking in coherence will be harder to convince, as customers won't know what to expect. Don't hesitate between 2 visions, try to propose a single coherent vision.

6. Offer total privacy to couples staying at your establishment, and take particular care to guarantee them complete peace and quiet with no unpleasant surprises. Romance is a suspended moment that can be broken by the slightest problem.

7. Pay particular attention to your welcome: your smile, your tone, your warmth, the crackling fire in the fireplace, the music, the little word of welcome... The first 10 minutes are the most important. Make your customers feel welcome and special. Show that you want to welcome them.

8. More and more couples like to travel with their dogs. We advise you to allow small dogs at an extra cost if this is possible for you.

9. How many couples say "wow" when they discover your establishment? And how many recommend you to their friends months after their stay? Make this a priority.
