Travel SEO Solutions

Our partnership approach

The travel industry is a highly competitive one, complicated by a cluttered field of local, national and international players. In this ever-evolving space, the Internet remains one constant: According to a recent survey of travelers, over 50% of all bookings happen online. More importantly, about 65% of those bookings happen directly on a brand’s website.

While this poses a great opportunity for digital marketers looking to reach eager and engaged travelers, it also means that web content must be optimized in order to connect with these prospective customers. Galileo Tech Media works with an array of noteworthy travel organizations to drive high-quality organic search traffic, craft compelling and linkable content, produce category-defining content and increase all-important bookings.

Galileo Tech Media has also conducted thousands of technical and local SEO audits on behalf of this client partner, ensuring consistency and accuracy across a variety of their digital touchpoints, including web pages and social media channels.

How Galileo Tech Media drives success for travel businesses.

For travel businesses seeking to rise to the top of the SERPs, bring in high-quality organic web traffic, and increase bookings online, having a nuanced and well-implemented SEO strategy is absolutely essential. At Galileo Tech Media, we understand the obstacles that many enterprises face in succeeding. Our adaptable and knowledge approach has been the solution for industry-leading travel brands who rely on us to assist in all stages of the sales cycle.

For many of our travel partners, this begins with an initial technical SEO audit, wherein we identify potentially penalizing site issues such as broken links, duplicate content, incorrect metadata implementation, and other issues. From there, we work to address those issues and provide a foundational go-forward SEO plan, one that often involves both keyword research and SEO copywriting, often focusing on geo-targeted search terms and themes. In many of our ongoing collaborations, a client’s web presences are continually optimized to ensure high-quality performance.

Regardless of how we work with our travel clients, one element remains consistent: Our turn-key approach and ability to scale as needed has made us a valuable resource and a critical part of their overall successes.
