Travel marketing for agencies and OTAs who are done overpaying for leads.

Every enquiry you buy through a lead agency or an ad platform is a customer you’ll pay to acquire again next trip. We build the SEO, GEO and content that help travellers find and book with your agency directly, so growth stops depending on rented traffic.

Interested in a free 20 minute audit? Worth $200, no pitch, you keep the notes.

Every external lead funnel you rely on is a customer you don't own.

Niche agencies and OTAs both run on the same trap: pay a platform for the click, pay again for the next one. We build the search and AI presence that lets travellers find you directly, first, and every time after.

Everything an agency or OTA needs to win the direct booking.

For niche travel agencies, tour agencies and OTAs competing on price and reach. Take one service or the full stack, run by the same marketing team no matter the scope.

SEO & Al visibility

Own the searches for your niche and get cited when travellers ask ChatGPT or Gemini who to book with. Search is where trust starts.

Destination & trip content

Guides, itineraries and comparison pages that answer the questions travellers have before they’ll trust an agency with their trip.

PPC & paid search

Defend your own brand name in search and fill the gap while organic builds, without bidding against your own listings on someone else’s platform.

Conversion (CRO)

Fix the enquiry-to-booking path so the traffic you already have converts into a booking instead of a quote request that goes cold.

PR & link building

Editorial coverage and links on the sites travellers already trust, building the authority that Google and Al engines reward

Web design & booking flow

A fast site with a booking or enquiry path built to convert, not just a brochure that sends people back to search for the OTA listing.

Agency & OTA marketing packages, designed to scale.

Month to month after a three month start, since SEO needs time to show. Scale up when the results do.

BESPOKE RETAINER

Need something scoped to you?

For larger agencies, franchise networks and OTAs, we build a custom retainer around
your goals, with a dedicated travel team and custom reporting.

How it works. No black box.

01

Audit

We start with the free 20 minute audit: where you’re losing enquiries to OTAs and paid channels, and the next lever of growth.

02

Plan

A plan scoped to your niche and budget: what ships, in what order, with an honest timeline for when search compounds.

03

Execute

The specialists run the work: content, technical SEO, links and conversion fixes. You approve, we ship.

04

Report

Plain-English monthly reporting on the numbers that matter: rankings, direct enquiries and bookings, not vanity traffic.

We track the numbers that matter to you.

Not vanity dashboards. The three numbers that decide whether marketing spend is paying for itself.

Direct booking share

The percentage of bookings coming through your own site, instead of a commission-taking listings.

Search and AI visibility

Rankings for the tips and destinations you sell, and citations when travelers ask AI who to book with

Cost per booking

What it actually costs to land a booking across all channels, so budget moves toward what’s working and not what’s loudest

Agency and OTA results, not generic case studies.

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.

I've worked with Travel Tractions for years for various websites that I've had, and they're always quick to respond and take very detailed notes about my preferences so there isn't much back and forth. I highly recommend them.

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!

Before you ask

OTA listings put you where travellers are already searching, but every booking through them costs a commission, and you don’t own the customer relationship for next time. This builds the direct channel alongside your OTA presence, not instead of it.

Yes, often better. Niche agencies can rank for specific, high-intent searches that a generalist OTA never will. The Foundations package is built for exactly this.

SEO compounds over 3 to 9 months. Paid search and conversion fixes can move faster. The audit gives you an honest timeline for your agency, and if paid is your fastest win, we’ll say so.

Independent and niche travel agencies, tour agencies, and OTAs. If you sell trips and someone else’s platform is taking a cut of every one, this is for you.

Yes. The packages are starting points. For larger agencies, franchise networks or OTAs, we scope a bespoke retainer around your goals on the call.

Interested in a free 20 minute audit?

Let's build the direct channel you actually own.

Tell us your agency and we’ll show you, on a recorded 20 minute
audit, exactly where you’re losing bookings to OTAs and paid
channels, and the three fixes to ship this week.

P.S. The audit is genuinely free. Worst case, you walk away with a $200 deliverable and three
quick wins. Best case, we save you six figures in commissions this year.
