Question 1

Should my Greek website be in Greek or English?

Accepted Answer

You need both, and mixing them up is the classic Greek SEO mistake. Local services in Athens or Thessaloniki are searched in Greek script: plumbers, dentists, lawyers, accountants. Tourism, hospitality and anything in the islands is searched in English, by visitors planning from abroad. Many businesses need a Greek section for locals and an English section for tourists, cleanly separated so each ranks for its own queries. I map your revenue to the right language per page, because a hotel that only has Greek pages is invisible to the people booking rooms.

Question 2

How important are reviews for Greek businesses?

Accepted Answer

For tourism businesses, absolutely. TripAdvisor reviews decide bookings on the islands, Google reviews decide local services in the cities, and Greek customers read both carefully. The Hellenic market is small enough that a handful of detailed reviews genuinely move a business, and Greek reviewers write at length when they care. I set up review collection in Greek and English depending on the audience, with owner replies in the reviewer's language, because in Greece the business with the most credible reviews usually gets the booking.

Question 3

Are xo.gr and vrisko.gr still worth listing on?

Accepted Answer

As a citation, yes. xo.gr is the digital heir of the Greek yellow pages, and vrisko.gr describes itself as the number one local-advertising site for Greek small businesses. Google reads both when verifying that your business exists, and older Greek customers still use them directly. Claim and correct both, keep the details identical, then focus your energy on Google Business Profile and TripAdvisor, which is where the customers actually decide. The directories are supporting actors, not the stage.

Question 4

Does Greek SEO need to account for the tourist season?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the season, and Greek SEO has to plan around it. Hotels, restaurants, car rentals and activities on the islands live on a May-to-October cycle, and the smart operators build content and reviews in winter for summer demand. Athens city businesses are steadier year-round, and B2B barely notices the seasons. The mistake is running the same campaign in January and July. I build Greek strategies on the seasonal calendar: content and link-building in the quiet months, review generation and conversion work when the visitors arrive.

Question 5

Does Greece enforce cookie consent rules?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is strict about it. Greek cookie banners must offer a genuine choice, and the Hellenic DPA is active: its 2024 report listed 46 decisions and 4.3 million euros in fines, including 400,000 euros against the Ministry of Interior in a voter-data case. Most Greek small-business sites run banners that do not actually block tracking, which means non-compliant and unreliable data. I fix the banner and the tag setup together, so your analytics are both legal and accurate.
