After months of work, the first fruits: Google names ferienhaussizilien.de

Dear hosts, partners and friends of Sicily,

On October 1, I wrote to you here that the new portal network from Terra Mia Immobiliare was live. I had been building it since the winter of 2025. Today, for the first time, I can show you what it is starting to deliver, and I could not be happier.

Google names ferienhaussizilien.de first

When someone searches google.de for "Ferienhaus Sizilien" (German for "vacation home Sicily"), they often read the AI Overview first: a ready-made answer that Google writes itself. On October 25, 2026, at 12:32 p.m. CET, in a signed-out browser window, ferienhaussizilien.de, the German-language site of Ferienhaus Sizilien, came first in three places:

  • as the first search result, directly above the AI Overview,
  • as the first source under the answer's opening sentence,
  • as the first card in the list of sources.

Google search for "Ferienhaus Sizilien" on google.de, signed out, October 25, 2026, 12:32 p.m. CET (excerpt). A snapshot: Google assembles the answer differently depending on time and location. The text and the price range are Google's. Google is a trademark of Google LLC.

The new network went live on October 1. Less than four weeks later, ferienhaussizilien.de appears in an answer Google writes itself, alongside the big travel portals. Not on every search, because Google keeps rebuilding the answer.

Why this mention matters so much

Many guests no longer click through ten search results. They read the answer and follow the link Google gives them. That fits what I measured on the old Sicily sites in the spring: as many impressions as the year before, but 36 to 44 percent fewer clicks. That is exactly why I built the new sites so that Google can quote them. Now Google does.

What's inside the new sites

Google doesn't disclose how it picks its sources. What I can show you is what stands behind the sites:

  • Since the winter of 2025, more than 4,000 changes have gone into the system.
  • The accommodation pages also carry location, sleeping arrangements and amenities in a form search engines read directly.
  • Every accommodation is online in German, English and Italian, each at its own address.
  • Travel information on weather, airports and getting there is on sicily.holiday. From there, the path leads to your accommodation.

This is only the beginning

For many other searches, Google is still re-sorting the old addresses after the move, and that takes a few weeks. The mention in the AI answer is the first visible result, and it came sooner than I had hoped. I'll tell you here how things develop as soon as the numbers are solid.

What you can do

Google quotes what is on the page. The more complete your details, the more Google has to quote: current photos, an accurate description, an up-to-date calendar. Write to me at info@terra-mia.immo with what has changed, or submit the change directly in your account.

Thank you to every host who has given me details, photos and a great deal of patience over these past months. This first success belongs to you, too.

Warm regards,
