SEO SERVICES

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimizing your website so it appears on page 1 of search engine results pages (SERPs), primarily Google as they have majority market share, for keyword phrases that are used by potential customers when they are searching for the products and services you offer. Being present on page 1 will generate free, targeted traffic to your website from Google.

SEO should not be thought of as a cost, but an investment which provides a great return on investment (ROI). SEO is also a long term strategy, you cannot expect results overnight but over a 6-12 month campaign you will not be disappointed with the increases in traffic you will see to your website.

Why is SEO important in the travel industry?

So you’re sat at your desk dreaming of your next holiday when you’re ready to research your next trip where do you turn…? Most turn to search engines, every day over 600 billion searches are made and 97% of people prefer to find businesses online. In the travel industry specifically; 69% of travelers begin their search online.

70% of clicks on the 1st page go to organic (free) listings, the other 30% go to the paid adverts at the top of the search results. Users are often in a buying frame of mind when searching on Google and so conversions are often a lot higher than other forms of marketing.

In the travel industry, the value of SEO is far more than being present on Google at the point of booking. Your travel customer’s journey to conversion depends on the ability to research, discuss and share information, recommendations, and reviews online; 90% of customers check online reviews before purchasing. Search engines will be involved in the majority of this process.
