HOW CLIENTS FIND YOU NOW
One search, three places to win.
Travelers pick the destination first and the tour second. They search for things to do in a place, compare a map, a marketplace listing and an AI answer, then check reviews, photos and the cancellation policy before they book, often on a phone and sometimes from the hotel lobby.

Google Maps and things to do
Tours tied to a place show on the map and in Google things-to-do results. A verified profile with real photos, recent reviews and a link to book on your own site gives travelers a direct way in.
What we do: We set up your profile and listings so the booking link points to your own site where the platform allows it.
Google search results
Travelers search by destination, activity and need: kid-friendly, private, half-day, wheelchair accessible. Marketplaces rank for the broad terms, but a detailed page for each tour can win the specific ones.
What we do: We build a page for each tour and destination, with itineraries, meeting points, inclusions and clear cancellation terms.
AI answers
Travelers now ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Copilot which tour to take or which agency plans a certain trip. Answers draw on reviews, listings and pages that state facts plainly.
What we do: We write answer-first tour pages and keep your facts the same on every listing AI tools read.
Then they call the business that showed up clearest.
WHAT WE DO
Rank, get named, get the call.
Three parts that build on each other: SEO so you rank for the trips you sell, AI search so you get recommended, and conversion so the visit becomes a booking or an inquiry.

THE FIRST 90 DAYS
What happens, and when.
The first three months set up the work that compounds. It is the order things happen in, not a promise of bookings.
- 1Month 1
Audit and plan
Your site, profile, listings and booking tracking checked, and the tours, destinations and kinds of traveler to focus on agreed with you.
- 2Month 2
Pages and fixes
Technical fixes ship and the first tour and destination pages go live after you approve them, with profile and listing updates made alongside.
- 3Month 3
Early movement
Google indexes the new pages and the specific searches tend to move first. The first report includes what AI assistants say when asked about tours where you operate.
Travel is seasonal, so we plan pages ahead of your peak and compare months year on year. Give it six months, and ideally one full season, before judging.
BY SPECIALTY
Planned for how you work.
A swamp tour, a honeymoon planner and a school-trip company sell to different travelers, so we plan pages around who books you and when.
- Tour operatorsDaily departures where reviews, photos and availability decide the booking.
- Travel agenciesHigh-value trips researched over weeks, where trust and expertise win the inquiry.
- Activity and adventure providersHikes, rafting, jeep and bike tours, searched by activity and place.
- Boat tours and chartersWeather-led, same-day searches where a clear booking path matters.
- Group and student travelPlanned by teachers, organizers and HR teams, often a year ahead.
- Destination management companiesBusiness buyers looking for a local partner with proof of past events.
- Luxury and custom travelA small number of travelers who want a specialist, not a catalog.
- Attractions and experiencesTicketed places competing with marketplaces for "things to do" searches.
Written within the rules for travel sellers
Travel marketing carries its own rules. California, Florida and Washington require sellers of travel to register and to show their registration number in some or all advertising, and a few other states have their own rules. The FTC bans fake and bought reviews, and prices should show the full amount a traveler will pay, with any mandatory fees made clear. Cancellation and refund terms on the page must match what you actually do. Where a rule is unclear for your business, we follow the principle that every claim is true and can be shown, and you approve every page before it goes live.
It depends on how many tours and destinations you sell, how crowded your market is with marketplaces and other operators, and what the site needs. Our SEO plans are on the pricing page, and on the first call we tell you which one fits.
QUESTIONS
Travel and tour SEO, answered.
01How long does SEO take for a tour operator or travel agency?
Profile and technical fixes tend to show within weeks. Ranking for specific tours and destinations usually takes three to six months, and broad searches such as "things to do in Orlando", where marketplaces lead, take longer. Seasonal businesses do best when pages are live a few months before the peak, so we plan around your calendar.
02Should we stop selling through marketplaces?
No, not because of SEO. Marketplaces bring travelers who would not find you otherwise. The aim is to win more of the searches you can own, such as your brand name, specific tours and repeat guests, so a bigger share books direct without a commission. We track direct bookings so you can see the mix change.
03Do tour pages need prices on them?
Showing a price helps travelers decide and helps your pages compete with marketplace listings that show one. If prices vary, a "from" price with clear notes on what changes it works well. Show taxes and mandatory fees plainly, so the total at checkout is no surprise.
04We are a travel agency, not a tour operator. Is the approach different?
Yes. Agencies sell expertise and trust more than a single product, so the pages lead with the trips you plan, who you plan them for and the questions travelers ask before they commit. Reviews, advisor profiles and a clear inquiry form matter more than a book now button.
05Does this work for travel businesses in the UK or Australia?
Yes, with local wording and rules. UK travelers say holiday where Americans say vacation, and package holidays there come with their own protection rules. Australian travelers often search for tours by region and season. We plan pages for the words your travelers use and the rules where you sell.
06What does travel and tour SEO cost?
It depends on the number of tours and destinations, how competitive your market is and how much the site needs. The SEO plans are on the pricing page, and we tell you on the first call which one fits.
07Can you guarantee we outrank the big marketplaces?
No. Large marketplaces have huge authority, and nobody controls Google. We will not promise positions. We commit to the work that gives your own site the best chance on the searches you can win, and to telling you honestly which those are.
