Before you choose a travel marketing agency

Questions to ask any travel marketing agency. Here are our answers.

Ask these of any agency you talk to, including us, and compare the answers. Ours are backed in writing by our Transparency Guarantee.

  1. Who owns the ad account and the data if I leave?

    YesYou do, from day one. Your Google Ads account sits under your own login, and if you ever leave you keep it and its data.

  2. Is your fee a percentage of my ad spend?

    NoNo. A percentage means the fee rises when the budget does, whether results do or not. Ours is a flat monthly management fee, and your ad budget goes to Google direct.

  3. How long is the contract?

    NoMonthly rolling, with 31 days’ notice. Ask any agency what it costs to leave in month three.

  4. How do you plan the budget around our season?

    YesAround your booking window, not the calendar. A flat monthly budget overspends in the quiet months and runs out in the busy ones.

  5. How do you track bookings, not just clicks?

    YesBookings and enquiries are tracked by campaign, including those made through your booking system where it lets us see them.

  6. What do you do when booking sites bid on our name?

    YesA brand campaign protects your name in search, and we check who else appears for it. It is part of the job.

After you choose

From first call to monthly review. What happens after you enquire.

No mystery about what happens next. Here is the plan, step by step.

How we get started

  1. Day 1Tell us about your businessWhat you offer, when guests book, which booking system you use and what you spend on marketing now.
    More detail

    Your account specialist asks when your guests book, which dates matter most and how bookings are taken. If you already run Google Ads or SEO, we can look at that account first with a free audit.

    You get the price before you commit, and you can add services as you go.

  2. Typically week 1Tracking firstCalls and enquiries counted by campaign before any money is spent, so every result is measured.
    More detail

    We cannot improve what we cannot measure, so tracking comes first, on every package. Calls from the ads, calls from the website and form enquiries are tracked and shown separately. Sentinel click fraud protection is switched on from day one.

  3. Typically week 1 or 2LaunchCampaigns go live and any SEO or social work begins, with your approval.
    More detail

    Timing depends on account access, your approvals and Google’s own ad review. SEO changes and social posts reach you for approval first: nothing goes out until you say yes.

  4. MonthlyReport and reviewA plain-English report, and a meeting to plan the next month.
    More detail

    Each month you get an interactive report in Mission Control and a meeting to walk through the results and plan the next step. We are open that it often takes around three months of optimisation before performance really hits its stride, and SEO builds more slowly still.

Want a second opinion on your current marketing?

Travel marketing agency UK

Your travel marketing agency

We are a travel marketing agency for UK holiday parks, campsites, attractions, experiences and travel firms. One team plans and runs your paid search, SEO and social around your booking window.

A tourism marketing agency for the whole route

As a tourism marketing agency we cover the route from the first search to the booking: Google Ads, SEO, your Business Profile, paid social and the website, planned and reported on together.

A digital marketing agency for travel, not a generic one

Travel is seasonal, crowded and expensive to advertise in. People research for weeks across several devices, so we build around the booking window and track bookings, not only clicks.

A flat fee, never a percentage

Our fees are flat and published. Google Ads management starts at £145 a month + VAT and SEO at £185, separate from your ad spend, which goes to the platform direct. Contracts roll monthly with 31 days’ notice.

More detail

Each channel has its own page with the full detail and every package: Google Ads management, national SEO, local SEO and social media advertising. Not sure where to start? Use the audit tab in the form at the top of the page, or book a free Google Ads audit.

Travel PPC agency

Travel PPC: Google Ads built around your booking window

As a travel PPC agency we run Google Ads for businesses whose guests plan ahead. The aim is to be there when they search, at a cost per booking that makes sense.

A PPC agency for travel plans the season first

Many guests research and book weeks or months ahead, so campaigns should be live and learning before your main booking window opens, not when the season starts. We plan spend around the dates that matter to you.

Protecting your own name

When booking sites bid on your name, the booking and the commission go to them. A brand campaign keeps your own searches yours, and we check who else is appearing.

A PPC agency for tourism that counts bookings

Clicks are not bookings. We track bookings and enquiries by campaign, including those made through your booking system where it lets us see them, and report the cost of each.

Remarketing for the researchers

Most visitors leave without booking. Retargeting on every Google Ads package brings back people who looked, while they are still deciding.

More detail

It usually takes around three months of optimisation before an account really finds its stride, and travel accounts are no different. Nobody can promise bookings, but you will see what each campaign cost and what it brought.

Travel SEO agency

Tourism SEO: pages that answer what guests ask before they book

Tourism SEO builds the pages that rank all year for the research searches people make first. It takes months, not days, and nobody can promise a ranking, but it keeps working without a charge per click.

A travel SEO agency starts with how guests search

Guests search for places, things to do, facilities and answers, long before they search for you by name. We build pages for those searches, with real detail, so you are in the research as well as the booking.

Travel SEO services for the technical side

Site speed on a phone, clear structure, correct data and a booking path that works are part of the job, because a page nobody can use does not earn bookings.

Local SEO and your Google Business Profile

For a park, campsite or attraction, the map results matter. Your profile, photos, reviews and listings are worked on together with the website.

AI search optimisation is included

AI search optimisation (GEO) is in every SEO package, never an extra. Nobody can promise a place in an AI answer; we work to make your pages the clearest answer to quote.

More detail

National SEO starts at £335 a month + VAT and local SEO at £185, each with a one-off £195 set up.

Paid social for tourism

Paid social for tourism: reach guests while they are planning

Search catches people who already know what they want. Paid social reaches people earlier, while they are looking for ideas, and brings back those who looked and did not book.

Facebook and Instagram for places people want to go

Travel and days out suit pictures and video. Paid social puts yours in front of the right people in the right area, and AI images and video are included on our social packages.

Retargeting the people who looked

Visitors who browsed your rooms, tickets or dates are shown a reminder while they decide, which is cheaper than finding new people.

Social media management for the rest of the year

A post every day, approved by you, keeps your place in front of past and future guests. We do not reply to comments or manage your community.

More detail

Social ads start at £145 a month + VAT, and social media management at £195 a month + VAT with a one-off £195 set up fee.

Holiday park marketing

Holiday park marketing and more direct bookings

Holiday park marketing comes down to one question: how many guests book with you, and how many through a site that takes a cut? Every part of the plan points at that.

Win the booking before it leaves your site

A fast, mobile-first site with a clear booking path matters more than another thousand visits. Nebula shows where guests give up, so you know what to fix.

Campsites, parks and attractions plan differently

A park sells a stay weeks ahead, an attraction sells a day out, an experience sells a gift. The campaigns, the pages and the budget follow how each is bought.

See what each booking cost

Your monthly report shows bookings and enquiries by campaign and the cost of each, in plain English.

More detail

Websites to rent start at £49 a month, with AI-written copy and images included, if your site is the problem.

Travel and tourism marketing FAQs

Travel and tourism marketing FAQs.

Cost and choosing

How much does a travel marketing agency cost?

Our travel PPC (Google Ads management) starts at £145 a month + VAT, separate from your ad spend. SEO starts at £185 a month for local SEO and £335 for national SEO, each with a one-off £195 set up, and social media management starts at £195 a month with a one-off £195 set up fee. Contracts roll monthly, with 31 days’ notice.

Is PPC or SEO better for tourism businesses?

Both, for different jobs. PPC puts you in front of people at the moment they search and can be turned up for your peak booking window. Tourism SEO builds the pages that rank all year for the research searches people make first. Most travel businesses run PPC for bookings now and SEO for the long term.

When should we start advertising for next season?

Earlier than most businesses do. Many guests research and book weeks or months ahead, so campaigns should be live and learning before your main booking window opens, not when the season starts.

Do I own my Google Ads account?

Yes. It is set up under your own login and its data belongs to you. If you ever leave, you keep it.

Bookings and your business

Can you help us get more direct bookings?

That is usually the main goal. We protect your brand searches, advertise to people searching for what you offer in your area, and bring back visitors who looked but did not book, so more guests book with you directly rather than through a booking site.

Do you work with holiday parks and campsites?

Yes. We work with holiday parks, campsites, attractions, experiences and travel firms across the UK. The approach changes with what you sell and when your guests book, but the reporting and fixed monthly fee are the same.

Can paid social help a tourism business?

Yes, mainly earlier in the planning. Facebook and Instagram ads reach people who are looking for ideas rather than searching for you, and retargeting brings back visitors who looked and did not book. Social ads start at £145 a month + VAT.

How do you track bookings made on a separate booking system?

Where the booking system lets us see the booking, we track it back to the campaign. Where it does not, we track the enquiry and the visit as far as it goes, and say plainly what we can and cannot see.
