Your Google Ads could be targeting the right keywords, with the right bids, reaching the right travellers – and still failing to convert if the ad copy itself doesn’t land. In our experience, ad copy is the most commonly overlooked lever in a travel PPC account – and it’s often where the biggest performance gains...

Remarketing and retargeting are terms used interchangeably in most digital marketing conversations, but they have a technical distinction worth understanding – particularly for travel advertisers who are building re-engagement campaigns across multiple channels. Here’s the difference, and how to apply both effectively for travel brands. What Is PPC Retargeting? Retargeting typically refers to re-engaging users...

Mobile search is where a significant proportion of travel research happens – particularly in the early inspiration and consideration stages, when prospective customers are browsing during commutes, evenings, and weekends. For tour operators running Google Ads campaigns, failing to optimise specifically for mobile means paying for mobile clicks that convert at a fraction of the...

Google Looker Studio (formerly Data Studio) is a free reporting tool that transforms raw analytics data into clear, shareable dashboards. For travel marketing teams managing multiple campaigns, channels, and client accounts, it solves a real problem: making sense of the data from Google Ads, Google Analytics, Search Console, and paid social in a single place....

Managing Google Ads across multiple tour products, destinations and seasonal campaigns is genuinely complex – more so than most industries. You’re not just running one campaign; you’re often juggling separate campaigns for different departure types, market segments, and budget periods that shift dramatically between January’s peak enquiry season and quieter mid-year windows.

Sitelinks are one of the most underused assets in a tour operator’s Google Ads account. They sit beneath your main ad and link directly to specific pages on your site – and when used properly, they can significantly increase both click-through rate and the quality of traffic landing on your pages. Used badly, they dilute...

Click-through rate is one of those Google Ads metrics that feels straightforward but has real nuance in travel. A high CTR is a good sign – but in a sector where search intent shifts dramatically between someone dreaming about a destination and someone ready to book, optimising purely for CTR without considering what those clicks...

In travel PPC, your click-through rate (CTR) is one of the clearest signals of whether your ads are resonating with the right travellers. A low CTR doesn’t just mean fewer clicks – it drags down your Quality Score, inflates your cost per click, and ultimately makes every booking more expensive to acquire. For tour operators...

In travel PPC, a poor landing page doesn’t just waste the click – it wastes weeks of remarketing spend that follows that visitor as they fail to convert. Tour operators often have longer-than-average consideration windows, which means a bounce from a landing page isn’t just a dead end; it’s the start of an expensive retargeting...

Your call-to-action is the moment your ad stops describing and starts asking. In travel PPC, getting it right matters more than most industries – because the gap between someone researching a trip and someone ready to commit a deposit is enormous, and the wrong CTA at the wrong moment of that journey will haemorrhage click...
