What we offer
Cruise line SEO
We offer a comprehensive SEO service that covers every aspect of your organic search engine marketing strategy. We start by delving into your data, before conducting keyword research and competitor analysis to help identify goals and opportunities. For driving those all-important bookings, we can optimise your landing pages to ensure each one is user-friendly, search engine-friendly and ready to convert.
Our specialists will also take a deep dive into your site’s technical SEO health, undertaking a full technical audit that explores elements including meta titles, meta tags, page speed, canonicals, links, duplicate content and crawl issues to iron out any issues that may be letting your site down.
Content marketing
Having fresh, relevant and authentic content on your site is key to attracting, engaging and retaining potential cruise travellers. As a travel-focused SEO agency, we know how to strike the perfect balance of creativity and data-backed reasoning, producing and promoting content that resonates with your target audience.
Boosting brand awareness and trustworthiness is at the heart of all our content marketing strategies, and we consistently monitor and adjust our approach in line with cruise industry trends to deliver the best results for your business, ensuring your content remains optimised for maximum visibility.
PPC for cruise lines
PPC can get your cruise website in front of potential customers at optimum stages of the booking journey, whether they're just thinking about a cruise holiday or are ready to make a booking. Our fantastic PPC team are meticulous data analysts, creating targeted search ads that showcase your brand’s unique selling points, scrutinising data and exploring insights to optimise your campaigns and maximise your ROI.
Data analytics
Data analysis is so much more than measuring performance levels month on month. We conduct thorough website tracking audits, analyse customer data, assess offline conversion points for closed-loop analysis and weigh up the use of different attribution models for better ROI, enabling you to better evaluate performance targets, improve your reporting capabilities and create forecasts. We know that booking a cruise can take months, sometimes even years, so our data analysts will work closely with your team to make sure we get the best possible insights into your performance.
Getting the most out of GA4
GA4 is the latest version of Google Analytics, replacing Universal Analytics back in July 2023. We can help you improve your GA4 account, so it provides you with actionable insights and reports from all the data it collects when people interact with your website. We’ll track all the relevant events on your website, such as bookings, brochure downloads or newsletter sign-ups, highlighting how your users behave, what they prefer and what influences their decisions. This information can then form part of your marketing strategy and forward planning.
