Bidding against Expedia and Booking with a fraction of the budget, and no real results?
Broad destination terms burn budget against advertisers who can outspend you indefinitely. With no clear split between lead-gen goals and booking volume goals, it becomes impossible to manage manual campaigns. This is why agencies and smaller OTAs need campaigns backed by data, winnable search terms, and reporting that measures revenue or qualified leads, not clicks and impressions
Winnable
the niche and long-tail searches the mega-OTAs don't defend
At scale
feed-driven campaigns covering your full inventory
ROAS
the metric for OTAs and volume-driven accounts
Cost per lead
the metric for niche and specialist agencies
Two very different goals. We run them differently.
An OTA needs volume and ROAS across huge inventory. A niche agency needs a small number of high-value enquiries. Same channel, completely different account structure.
Online travel agencies
- Feed-driven campaigns across your full destination and package inventory
- Performance Max tuned on real booking value, not click volume
- Bid strategy that concedes the unwinnable head terms and owns the long tail
- Reporting on revenue and return, tracked to your booking system
Specialist & retail agencies
- Tight, high-intent campaigns on the specialist searches you're credible for
- Enquiry and call tracking, so you know which spend produced real leads
- Remarketing built for a long, high-value consideration cycle
- Reporting on cost per qualified enquiry, not raw form fills
We also work with retail agencies moving online for the first time, and independent travel advisors building a book of business.

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

FAQ
How is travel agency PPC different from regular PPC?
You’re competing against advertisers with effectively unlimited budgets on the broadest terms, while managing far more inventory than a typical account. It takes feed-driven structures and disciplined choice about which searches to contest.
Can we actually compete with Expedia and Booking on paid search?
Not on the broad head terms, and we won’t pretend otherwise. You compete on specialist, niche and long-tail searches where your expertise is genuinely better and the mega-OTAs bid less aggressively. That’s where the profitable volume is.
Can you manage a large account with thousands of products?
Yes. We use feed-based and dynamic search campaigns so your full inventory stays covered and updates automatically, rather than building and maintaining campaigns by hand
Our goal is enquiries, not instant bookings. Does that work?
Yes, and we structure the account entirely differently for it. Enquiry and call tracking, longer remarketing windows, and reporting on cost per qualified enquiry rather than raw conversions.
How do you measure results?
ROAS and revenue for volume accounts, cost per qualified enquiry for specialist agencies. Both tracked back to your booking system or CRM, not just to Google’s reported conversions.
How much does it cost?
A flat management fee plus your ad spend, which stays entirely under your control and is billed directly by Google. We recommend a minimum budget on the call based on your inventory and goals.
Find out which searches are actually worth your budget.
Get a free PPC audit. We’ll show you where spend is leaking and which terms you can realistically win, 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 you profitable volume the mega-OTAs aren’t defending.
