Tourism & Experiences

Put Your Experience on the Map

Tours, boat trips, cooking classes, wine tastings — they're all searched on AI and Google. We make sure yours gets found first.

Why It Matters

The Experience Economy Is Booming — But Discovery Is Broken

Travellers want experiences more than ever. But between aggregators taking 20–30% commissions and AI search changing how people discover activities, small operators are getting squeezed from both sides. The ones winning are those who own their digital presence.

When a tourist asks ChatGPT 'what experiences should I book in [city]', the answer is shaped by search visibility, review volume, and content authority — not just which platform you're listed on. We build the organic presence that gets you recommended directly.

Common Challenges

Why Tourism Operators Struggle Online

Seasonal Dependency

Most tourism businesses live and die by peak season. Building year-round digital authority means you start peak season with momentum — and survive the off-season without haemorrhaging cash.

Dependent on Tourist Flow

You can't control how many tourists arrive. But you can control how many of them find you. A strong search presence means you capture more of the visitors who do arrive in your destination.

Competing with Aggregators

Viator and GetYourGuide spend millions on SEO and ads. You can't outspend them. But you can rank for specific, high-intent searches they ignore — and capture direct, commission-free bookings.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I compete with Viator and GetYourGuide?

You can't beat them at their own game — they dominate generic searches and spend millions on ads. But you can capture direct bookings by ranking for specific, high-intent searches like 'private wine tasting tour in [region]' or 'sunset boat trip [city]' — searches that aggregators don't optimise as effectively. Direct bookings also mean zero commission, which significantly improves your margins.

Can SEO help during the off-season?

Yes. Off-season SEO targets different audience segments: corporate retreats, local market content, shoulder-season travellers, and long-stay visitors. A year-round content strategy that anticipates seasonal demand shifts keeps your pipeline active even when peak season ends.

Is TripAdvisor still worth optimising for?

Absolutely. TripAdvisor remains a critical discovery channel for experiences, and AI tools like ChatGPT often cite TripAdvisor data in their recommendations. A strong TripAdvisor presence with recent, positive reviews supports both direct bookings and AI search visibility.

Do you help with tour operator websites?

Yes — web development is one of our services. A fast, mobile-optimised website with online booking integration, structured data for experiences, and strong landing pages for each tour type is the foundation of a direct bookings strategy.

How do AI search engines recommend tours and experiences?

AI models pull from a range of sources: your website content, Google Business Profile, review platforms, structured data, and directory listings. When someone asks ChatGPT for 'the best cooking class in [city]', it synthesises all those signals. We ensure every source is optimised to recommend you.
