Google Ads Services for Travel Brands Chasing Conversions

Google Ads that fill rooms, seats, and tours, not just spend budget. We capture high-intent travel demand at the moment someone’s ready to book, and turn that demand into direct bookings instead of paying OTA commission.

Having worked on a few projects with Matthew and the team, I can safely vouch for their dedication to delivering high quality service. They pay close attention to all the touchpoints during their process, ensuring the end results are always above expectations. We worked together quite successfully on a website project for close to four years in an ongoing capacity where they maintained our website, SEO and content and always went above and beyond. Their approach directly resulted in our online traffic increasing substantially and also increasing our revenue earned from online channels and partnerships.

Matt and his team did incredible work on the optimisation of historical articles on our website, helping these rank and drive organic traffic in a short period of time. This increase has also translated into a boost in conversion through organic channels, which has been amazing to see. We're now following SEO best practices based on the learnings we made from partnering with his team, and are grateful for the continued support they have offered.

We worked with Matt and his team at Travel Tractions for a few months on everything from content creation to SEO optimization. We also did a deep audit of our site and had them change the many issues we had. They're great with communication, last-minute changes, and just getting things done. SEO is such an important piece of a website and business so it was really great to see it from a technical angle as well and have issues fixed that we didn't know existed. Definitely recommend 🙂

We are very pleased with Matt and Travel Tractions. They helped us get our new tourism business off to an amazing start - even in a Pandemic! Matt's coaching definitely helped jump-start our blog rankings and helped us avoid some big mistakes as well. We learned a lot about digital marketing through research on the internet, but having Matt personally audit our site and coach us through some techniques brought us above and beyond. We highly recommend Travel Tractions if you need that extra boost for your business!

Why Travel Tractions.

Travel and tourism, only

We understand seasonality, booking systems, and competing with OTAs on paid.

We plan around seasonality

Budgets timed to your real booking window, not a flat monthly spend.

Honest reporting

Cost per booking, not vanity clicks. We tell you what’s working and what isn’t

Before you ask

You’re competing with OTAs on high-intent terms, working with long and seasonal consideration windows, and often need campaign types like Hotel Ads or Things to Do that don’t exist outside travel. size the right budget for your goals on the audit call

Search ads are best for defending your brand and capturing specific high-intent terms. Performance Max works best with a larger catalogue and enough conversion data to automate against. Most accounts use both.

Google Hotel Ads places you in the rate comparison box travellers use to book a stay. Google Things to Do is the equivalent for tours and activities. Both put you next to the OTAs at the moment of booking intent.

We flight budget around your real booking window, ramping up before your season and pulling back when spend doesn’t make sense.

We can, or we’ll work with what you have and recommend fixes. See our conversion optimisation work for landing pages built to convert paid traffic.

You do. Accounts are set up in your name, so if you ever move on, you take everything with you.

Cost per booking and revenue, tracked through GA4 and Google Ads conversion tracking, not just clicks or impressions.

More ways we help travel brands with paid media.

PAID SOCIAL

Facebook and Instagram campaigns that turn social proof into bookings.

BOOKING FUNNEL

Turn more of the traffic you’re already paying for into bookings.

FULL STACK

SEO, GEO, content, social and web, run by one travel team.

Find out which searches are actually worth your budget.

Get a free Google Ads audit. We’ll show you where spend is leaking and which campaigns fit your business, no pitch either way.

P.S. The audit is genuinely free. Worst case, you walk away with a clear list of wasted spend to cut. Best case, we find profitable demand you’re not capturing yet.
