Travel SEO Opportunity Audit

Share your URL. We will benchmark rankings, crawl, schema, content gaps and booking website threats β€” then quote the program.

  • Where you show up on Google today (and where you don't)
  • The easy searches you can win first
  • What's broken under the hood of your website
  • How the big booking websites are beating you

We reply within 1 hour, every business day.

Why this matters

Beating Booking.com on Google is not impossible β€” it just takes the right approach.

Booking.com and Expedia win 6 out of 10 top spots on Google for travel searches. Trying to beat them at their game is a losing fight. We do it differently β€” we win the searches the big booking websites can't answer properly.

A tour operator in London ranks first for "10-day Sri Lanka tours" because we built proper trip pages travellers actually want to read. A travel company in Dubai ranks first for "private desert safari Dubai" because we wrote the kind of honest answers Booking.com never bothers to. A luxury operator wins "best private safari Kenya" because Google sees them as the real expert.

Search is also changing. Almost half of all travel questions on Google now get answered by AI right inside Google β€” no click needed. Our work makes sure your business is the one mentioned in those answers, with a clear path back to your tour page. That's the difference between regular Google work and a real growth plan.

What you get

What's inside our Google search service.

Six things we do for you every month. All of it focused on bringing you bookings β€” not just clicks.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

A Plan of What to Win

60 to 120 travel searches we map out for your business β€” destinations, tours, "best time to visit", visa questions, comparisons. We start with the easy wins that bring fastest results.

πŸ“

Stories That Sell Your Trips

8 to 16 long, helpful articles every month β€” written by people who know travel. Built to show up first on Google and get mentioned by AI tools too.

βš™οΈ

The Under-The-Hood Fixes

We fix every quiet problem on your website that Google hates β€” slow pages, broken links, missing information. All the boring stuff that stops you ranking, done properly.

πŸ”—

Every Page Connects

Every tour page on your website is one click away from the articles that bring interested travellers in. So readers turn into customers.

πŸͺ

Proof You Are the Expert

Real reviews, real licences, real awards, real expert names on your pages. Google trusts you more. Travellers book you more.

🌍

Mentions in the Right Places

Travel magazines, tourism boards, niche newsletters and expert round-ups talking about your business. Never shady tricks β€” only honest mentions that last.

How the program runs

Four stages, four growth checkpoints.

Standard SEO retainers are billed by month and judged by year. Ours are billed by month and judged by what each booking costs you enquiry.

Audit

Technical crawl, rankings inventory, content gap, schema audit, link profile and booking website competitor map. A 40-page diagnostic and the first 12-week sprint plan.

Foundation

Fix technical SEO, ship schema, rebuild on-page across high-value templates (destinations, packages, itineraries), redesign internal links and clean up cannibalisation.

Cluster Build

Eight to sixteen articles a month, structured as groups of related pages with hub + spoke + internal link pattern. Editorial calendar planned three months ahead.

Compound

Link earning, AI search layering, CRO experiments on top-ranking pages, traveller proof updates and the first feedback loop from booking data back into the keyword plan.

Where SEO wins for travel

The nine query families every travel SEO program should rank for.

Most travel brands fight for the obvious destination terms and ignore the queries that actually convert. We map every program across all nine families.

  1. Destination + duration: "10 days in Sri Lanka", "Egypt 14 day tour". Highest commercial intent in travel SEO β€” and the booking websites ignore them.
  2. Destination + theme: "honeymoon Maldives", "family safari Tanzania", "wellness retreat Bali". Where price-led booking websites cannot compete on context.
  3. Destination + season: "best time for Petra", "Dubai in December", "Iceland Northern Lights month". Inform-first, book-fast queries.
  4. Package + brand: "Bluepine private safari Kenya". Branded discovery β€” own this or lose the buyer to your own re-seller.
  5. Visa + travel: "Schengen visa for Indian passport", "UAE visa for UK residents". High-volume top-of-funnel that loops to packages.
  6. Comparison: "best Dubai destination travel company for inbound corporate events", "Audley vs Black Tomato", "Booking.com vs direct booking". Bottom-of-funnel β€” your highest-converting cluster.
  7. Itinerary research: "what to do in Salalah for 3 days", "Bhutan itinerary 7 days". Where AI Overviews matter most β€” AI search compounds here.
  8. Operational: "how much does a Petra trip cost", "is it safe to travel to Egypt 2026". Trust and pricing queries that pre-qualify your buyer.
  9. Post-booking: "what to pack for Iceland in October", "currency in Cambodia". Builds repeat bookings and review velocity β€” under-served by booking websites.

Each family gets its own cluster architecture, schema profile and CRO baseline. Each is judged on the only number that matters: enquiries it sends to your customer follow-up system.

"Within six months we were ranking page one for 41 high-intent terms. Direct enquiries overtook booking website bookings in month nine. The team thinks like tour operators, not SEO contractors."

Ask on WhatsApp
What is travel SEO?
Search engine optimisation built around the way travellers actually search β€” destinations, packages, durations, visa rules, best-time queries, comparisons against booking websites and post-booking questions. It uses groups of related pages, structured data, linking pages together and travel-specific trust and expertise signals to rank pages that convert into enquiries, not just traffic. See our full Travel SEO Guide.
How long does travel SEO take?
Most programs produce meaningful ranking gains and a lift in enquiries between 90 and 120 days. Cluster builds and on-page work surface in 4 to 8 weeks. Competitive package terms take 6 to 9 months.
How is travel SEO different from generic SEO?
It has to win against booking websites that have 100x your domain authority, satisfy trust and expertise for high-trust travel decisions, structure schema for trips, and surface in AI Overviews where Google now answers 47% of destination queries without a click. A generic agency rarely accounts for any of those.
How much does travel SEO cost?
Retainers start at USD 2,500 per month and scale to USD 12,000 for global brands with multi-language content velocity. Project SEO (audit, technical fix, single cluster) starts at USD 4,500.
Do you do link building?
Yes β€” but only travel-relevant. We earn coverage in travel publications, tourism boards, partner destination travel companies, niche travel newsletters, podcasts and trade outlets. No PBNs, no foreign-language farms, no spam.
Do you cover AI search too?
Yes. Google search and AI search are run as one integrated program. Clusters that rank in Google are structured as citation-worthy sources for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Bing Copilot.
What does a typical program include?
Technical audit, schema, website loading speed fixes, 60 to 120 keyword clusters, monthly content velocity (8 to 16 articles), internal link graph, package and destination page rebuilds, traveller FAQs, AI search answer engineering, link earning and monthly reports against what each enquiry costs you.
What kind of travel businesses do you do SEO for?
Outbound and inbound agencies, tour operators, destination travel companies, luxury and adventure brands, visa companies, hotels and resorts, tourism boards and travel-tech startups across Dubai, London, Singapore, Riyadh, Mumbai, Sydney and across Europe.
