SEO & SEM Custom Tailored for Travel Companies

At Travel Spike, we know the best time to reach a traveler is when they’re looking for you.
Search engines are one of the most popular tools travelers use to book a vacation. And while there are thousands of companies that can help you with search engine optimization (SEO) and pay per click (PPC) search engine marketing, only one does internet marketing exclusively for the travel industry: Travel Spike. We have the experience working with CVBs, tourism boards, DMOs and individual hotels. No other company specializes in new media strategies like blogs, RSS feeds, podcasts, email lifecycles, online videos, digital PR, destination marketing, technology, and social networking. In the Web 2.0 era, it is critical to leverage these rich media outlets to build an effective search engine strategy. Simply put, we are the travel SEO & SEM experts.



Travel SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Search engine optimization refers to the way a website interacts with the internet and the travelers who visit it. Effective travel SEO requires meticulous management of website content (on-page SEO) as well as a critical examination of your website’s internet-wide exposure (off-page SEO). When done properly, intelligent travel SEO can sustain top search engine rankings for a minimal investment.



Pay Per Click Marketing (PPC)

PPC marketing (a.k.a. “pay per click marketing”) is the quickest route to the top of the search engines. As the name suggests, these search listings have been purchased by a company (on a cost-per-click basis) to make sure their ad is listed prominently. Travel Spike can save you years of trial-and-error and thousands of dollars because we have the resources to build an effective keyword campaign and make sure that internet browsers are delivered to effective landing pages.
