Local SEO for Travel Businesses
Helping hotels, tour operators and travel attractions dominate local search results in their destination.

A staggering number of people use search engines to find local businesses. In fact, 46% of all Google searches are local. Around 50% of those people are looking for contact details, opening hours, addresses or other business-specific information.
With such significant numbers of people searching for local businesses, it’s no surprise to discover nearly 80% of local mobile searches result in an offline purchase.
