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.Posted on Google

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 🙂Posted on Facebook

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!Posted on Facebook

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
How is travel Google Ads different from regular Google Ads?
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 or Performance Max, which do we need?
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.
What are Hotel Ads and Things to Do?
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.
How do you handle seasonality?
We flight budget around your real booking window, ramping up before your season and pulling back when spend doesn’t make sense.
Do you build the landing pages too?
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.
Who owns the ad account and data?
You do. Accounts are set up in your name, so if you ever move on, you take everything with you.
How do you measure results?
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.
BOOKING FUNNEL
Turn more of the traffic you’re already paying for into bookings.
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.
