The link building agency for travel sites that publishers trust.
Good travel links are hard to find and easy to get wrong. We place you on real travel publications with real readers, the kind Google trusts and AI engines quote, so your pages climb and your brand gets named.
Free 20-min audit ($200 value). We show you the link gap between you and your top 3 competitors. No pitch, and you keep the notes.
SEE IT BEFORE YOU BUY
Every kind of travel site, one outreach network.

Accommodation sites

THE PROBLEM
Why is our travel site not ranking when our content is better
Because in travel, links decide who gets seen. Your competitors are named in the guides, roundups and destination features that Google leans on and AI engines quote back to travellers. You are not, so your better page sits on page three.
Then the shortcuts make it worse. Bought links on expired domains, guest posts on sites no traveller reads, and directory blasts either do nothing or actively cost you rankings.
THE ANSWER
Earn placements on travel publications editors actually run.
We audit the gap between you and your top three competitors, then pitch the specific travel publications, guides and destination features where a mention of your brand makes editorial sense. Real sites, real readers, real traffic.
Every link is reported with the URL, the anchor, and what it moved. Placements are guaranteed for a year or your money back, so the risk sits with us rather than you.
Knowing which travel links are worth acquiring is the whole job.
Most travel sites we audit have paid for links that did nothing, or worse, actively hurt their SEO. Here is the line we hold on every placement.
- What we place you on :
- Travel and tourism sites with genuine organic traffic, checked in Ahrefs before we pitch
- Editorially reviewed placements, in context, inside content a traveller would read
- Dofollow links with anchors and words you approve, pointing at pages that can actually rank
- Sites already being quoted by AI engines, so the citation travels further than the link
- Guaranteed live for a year or more, or we replace it and refund
- What we turn down for you :
- Private blog networks and "travel" sites with 400 outbound links a month
- Domains with a big DR score and no real traffic behind it
- Casino, crypto and adult neighbours sitting next to your placement
- Public lists that anyone can get onto, that every competitor already bought
- Anything cheap enough that it will be deindexed before it pays back

Matt Bailey1852 days agorecommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook.
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

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!Posted on Facebook

The part most link sellers will not say out loud.
Links are slow, then sudden
Placements go live in weeks, but the ranking effect usually shows one to three months later. Anyone promising movement next week is selling you something else.
.
Links can't fix a broken page
If the page itself doesn’t answer the search, links won’t rescue it. We will tell you that on the audit and point you at content first, even though links are what we sell.
Not every site needs links yet
Young sites often get more from fixing technical issues and publishing. If that is you, we will say so and send you to the free community instead.
Need a custom link order for your travel site?
Have multiple properties, international markets, a launch that needs press coverage, or a specific list of publications in mind? Tell us the goal and we will price it honestly.
Not sure what you need at all? Book the free call and we will look at your link profile with you
Want to build the links yourself? The community is free.
The community is our free space for travel brands that want practical link-building assistance without paying for implementation and management. Do it yourself now, hand it to us when the budget is there.
- Our outreach templates and the emails we still send
- The prospect-vetting checklist we use before we pitch
- Live workshops and teardowns of real travel link profiles
- No card needed, and no pitch
Straight answers about travel link building.
What makes a link building agency for travel sites different?
Relationships and judgement. We only work in travel, so we already know which tourism publications have real readers, which ones quietly sell to everyone, and which ones AI engines quote. A generalist agency has to guess, and usually buys the easy inventory
How do you track the links and collaborate?
A shared Google Sheet. Every prospect, price, placement URL and live-check date sits in it, and you can open it any time. Nothing is hidden until a monthly report lands..
Do I get to pick the anchor text and target page?
Yes. You choose the page and the anchor, and we find sites happy to post about you. If an anchor looks overoptimised for your profile we will flag it, but the call is yours..
Do the links drive referral traffic?
Often, because every site we place on is active and has traffic. We can’t guarantee a specific amount of referral traffic, though, and any agency that does is guessing.
Do I get final approval of the content?
We write it and share it, but the publishing site has the final say, so we can’t promise editorial approval. If something is wrong, tell us within 48 hours of it going live and we will push for the fix.
What is the turnaround time?
Single links typically land in two to four weeks. Packages run four to eight weeks depending on size, because we would rather wait for the right site than fill the quota. If a placement is going to be late, you hear it from us first.
What happens if a link gets removed?
Every link is guaranteed for a year or more. If one drops in that window we replace it on an equivalent site, or refund it, your choice
Which payment methods do you accept?
PayPal for online orders, bank transfer for custom campaigns and invoiced work.
