Where most engagements start

Clear scopes, senior delivery, and a prioritised plan you can act on without agency bloat.

Travel SEO & AI Visibility Audit

A fixed-fee, human-reviewed audit covering crawlability, indexing, priority commercial pages, internal links, content quality, entity and structured-data signals, competitor/source gaps and a timestamped sample of agreed AI-search questions.

Best for: hotels, guesthouses, tour operators, DMOs and travel startups that need an independent diagnosis before investing in implementation or ongoing support.

€495 fixed fee. Up to 30 indexable pages, delivered within five business days after scope and access are confirmed.

See the full audit scope

Content Strategy

A structured content plan built around the queries your potential guests are actually searching. Covers: keyword research, content gap analysis, content architecture mapping, and an editorial calendar with topic briefs. Includes guidance on which content types to prioritise - destination hubs, service pages, FAQ content, or local guides - based on your specific competitive position.

Best for: travel brands who are publishing content but not seeing results, or those starting from scratch and wanting a clear direction before investing in writing.

Typical timeframe: 10 to 14 business days

SEO Foundation Build

A complete organic search foundation for travel businesses starting from zero or rebuilding from scratch. Covers everything in the SEO Audit plus: technical implementation, schema markup setup, Google Business Profile optimisation, initial content production (three to five key pages), sitemap and robots.txt, and Google Search Console configuration. Everything needed to start building organic authority correctly.

Best for: new travel tech startups, guesthouses launching their first website, and tour operators who have relied entirely on OTAs and are ready to build a direct channel.

Typical timeframe: 4 to 6 weeks initial build, with optional monthly support thereafter

Local SEO for Hotels and Accommodation

Focused on the local search signals that determine whether your property appears in the Google Map Pack and Google Hotels results. Covers: Google Business Profile audit and optimisation, Google Hotels free booking links setup, review strategy and response templates, citation consistency audit across TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Agoda, and local directories, and local content guidance.

Best for: boutique hotels, guesthouses, and villa operators in Southeast Asia and Europe who want to reduce OTA dependency and capture more direct bookings from local and near-me searches.

Typical timeframe: 2 to 3 weeks initial setup, ongoing monthly management available

AI visibility, languages, and ongoing support

Deeper programmes for brands that need compounding search presence beyond a one-off project.

GEO and AI Visibility

Strengthening the same foundations used by search and AI retrieval systems: crawlable pages, useful first-hand information, clear entities, consistent facts, relevant third-party sources and well-structured commercial content. Monitoring uses an agreed, timestamped prompt set with methodology and limitations recorded.

Best for: travel brands that want to understand where they appear in representative AI answers, close evidence and source gaps, and improve the underlying content without relying on unsupported GEO shortcuts. FAQ markup and llms.txt are treated as optional implementation details, not ranking guarantees.

Typical timeframe: 3 to 4 weeks initial implementation, monthly monitoring and optimisation available

Multilingual SEO

Building search visibility in the language markets that matter for your specific guest mix. Covers: source market analysis, language-specific keyword research (Vietnamese, Korean, Thai, Bahasa Indonesia, French, and others), hreflang implementation, localised content production, and platform-specific guidance (Naver for Korean markets, Baidu for Chinese markets, Agoda for Southeast Asian OTA visibility).

Best for: tourism businesses in Southeast Asia serving regional as well as international travellers, particularly those in Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Bali where Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese visitor numbers are growing significantly.

Typical timeframe: varies by language scope; single-language implementation typically 3 to 4 weeks

Monthly Retainer

Ongoing SEO and content support for travel brands who want a consistent, senior-level presence without the overhead of an agency. Typically covers: monthly content production (two to four pieces), technical SEO monitoring and maintenance, Search Console and analytics review, and strategic guidance on any emerging opportunities or issues. All work delivered directly by Nathan, not delegated to junior staff.

Best for: established hotels, tour operators, and travel tech companies who have built their foundation and want consistent, compounding growth rather than one-off project bursts.

Minimum engagement: 1 month. Starting from €600 per month.

How we evaluate hotel discoverability

The checklist we use to judge whether travellers can find a hotel before they know its name.

Google Hotels and free booking links

Is the direct rate showing in Google's price comparison, is it competitive and accurate, and does the booking page load fast? Background: Google Hotels and metasearch.

Google Business Profile and Map Pack

Is the profile verified and complete, are categories, photos and reviews current, and does the property appear in the Map Pack for its main local searches? Try the GBP audit checklist.

EEA supplier unit

For guests searching from the EEA, is the site crawlable and serving EEA users so it is eligible for Google's supplier unit, which has appeared alongside the OTA aggregator unit since September 2026?

AI answers

Is the hotel named accurately in Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT for the searches that matter, and are its facts consistent across the web? Run the free AI readiness scanner.

Organic search and measurement

Which generic searches bring impressions and clicks, and does GA4 show where bookings and enquiries really come from? See GA4 for travel brands.
