Travel Ads Problems We Fix Every Week
These are the most common issues we see with travel Google Ads accounts.
OTAs Dominating Your Search Results?
Booking.com, Expedia, and TripAdvisor spend millions on Google Ads. You can't outspend them on generic travel terms. But travel agents, tour operators, and niche providers can own specific destination searches, experience-specific queries, and brand defence campaigns they don't target aggressively. We find the profitable gaps the big tourism players miss.
Seasonal Budget Going to Waste?
Travel demand is highly seasonal — January blues booking surge, Easter holidays, summer peak, Christmas getaways, last-minute deals. Running the same budget year-round wastes money in quiet months and underspends during peaks. We build 12-month budget strategies that follow demand across popular destinations and peak travel seasons.
Bookings Not Attributed to Ads?
Travellers research across multiple sessions and devices over days or weeks. Standard tracking misses half the journey. We implement cross-device tracking, call attribution, and multi-touch attribution so you know which campaigns actually generate completed bookings — whether they come from travel agents, direct searches, or holiday bookings through your site.
High CPCs Eating Thin Margins?
Travel and tourism keywords are brutally competitive. Without precise targeting, long-tail keyword strategies, and destination-level bidding, you overpay for every click. We find the profitable pockets — niche destinations, specific experience types, and high-intent searches — that deliver bookings at sustainable cost for your travel agency or hospitality business.
Long Booking Journey, No Remarketing?
A traveller might research tourist destinations for 3-4 weeks before booking. Without remarketing, you pay for the initial click but lose the booking to a competitor or OTA. We build remarketing sequences that keep your holidays visible throughout the decision-making process.
PMax Advertising Sold-Out Holidays?
Performance Max in the travel industry without availability controls advertises trips you've sold out of, destinations you don't serve, or dates with no availability. We structure PMax with destination-level control and availability-aware management.
"We were losing bookings to bigger OTAs. Within 3 months of working with Visionary, direct bookings increased 47% and our cost per booking dropped by 31%. They genuinely understand travel and tourism demand."
Sarah Mitchell
Tour Operator Manager
"Their seasonal campaign approach is a game-changer for travel agents like us. We went from flat Q4 holiday bookings to our best season ever. They knew exactly when to scale budget across key destinations."

Oh My Cream: +50% Profit — While Already With a Big Agency
Premium UK beauty brand Oh My Cream (formerly Naturisimo) had hit a growth plateau their full-service agency couldn't unblock. Chris was layered in as strategy lead — not as a replacement — to find an under-exploited segmentation axis the embedded agency couldn't see from inside day-to-day delivery.

Our Approach
We Don't Just Run Travel Ads. We Fill Your Calendar.
What separates generic PPC from travel-specialist campaign management.
Destination-Level Strategy
Every destination has different demand, margins, and competition. We build campaigns at destination level — popular destinations get broad targeting, niche experiences get long-tail strategies.
Each destination has its own budget and ROAS target based on booking value and margin.
Seasonal Demand Intelligence
Travel demand follows predictable patterns. January booking surge, Easter holidays, summer peak, half-term, Christmas getaways.
We build a 12-month campaign calendar that increases bids and budgets during peak booking windows and reduces spend during quiet periods. Your budget follows demand, not the other way around.
Beating the OTAs
You can't outspend aggregators. But you can outmanoeuvre them. Direct booking campaigns targeting people who've already visited your site, branded campaigns protecting your name from competitor bidding.
Niche keyword strategies targeting experiences the aggregators miss. Direct bookings mean higher margins and customer ownership.
Multi-Touch Booking Attribution
A traveller clicks your ad Monday, browses on their phone Wednesday, sends the link to their partner Thursday, and books Saturday on a laptop.
Standard tracking credits only the last click. We implement cross-device, multi-session attribution so you understand the full journey and know which initial touchpoints generate revenue.

Our Process
How We Build Travel Campaigns That Book

Destination Campaign Architecture
Campaigns built at destination level with separate budgets, bid strategies, and ROAS targets. Popular routes get broad coverage. Niche experiences get efficient long-tail strategies.
