Background

A small, owner-run travel agency planning family holidays, often with three generations travelling together.

The owner had spent 18 months doing his own SEO. The site had hundreds of destination guides and road-trip posts, but only a handful of clicks a day.

Challenge

Google saw a travel blog, not a travel agency. The site ranked for research searches, not for people ready to book an agent.

There were no local landing pages, and the homepage was trying to rank for a local search and a national one at the same time. The owner wanted enquiries, not more blog readers.

Our approach

01
Reposition the site as an agency

Rewrote the homepage to present a boutique agency for Western Sydney families, and fixed technical issues including broken pages.

02
Build local landing pages

Published local pages for the areas the agency serves, completed the Google Business Profile and made the business details consistent across listings.

03
Target people ready to book

Wrote destination pages for the trips families ask about most, and launched a small Google Ads campaign for the top destination.
