The Challenge
Tour pages were light on text and structured around internal naming, missing the long-tail activity and destination queries that drive discovery.
Much Better Adventures
Seasonal travel fluctuations and thin tour itinerary pages limited non-brand organic discovery for niche adventure destinations.
The Strategy
Travel itinerary content architecture
Expanded every tour page with detailed day-by-day itineraries, difficulty ratings, gear lists, and local guide profiles so pages matched real search intent.
TouristTrip schema markup
Implemented TouristTrip and FAQ schema so search engines could surface itineraries, prices, and availability in rich results.
Destination guide hubs
Built destination and activity hubs that linked broader travel research into specific tour bookings.
International SEO targeting
Optimized hreflang, currency, and local intent signals to capture UK, US, and European adventure travel searches.
