Challenge

Audley Travel were looking at better understanding what a forward strategy could look like & where could have the biggest impact to position growth & ranking expansion.

Main challenges faced include:

  • Size of key players in the industry
  • How to address content at scale for destinations
  • How to improve indexability
  • Reducing/eliminating cannibalisation

The Goals

  • Identify pre-existing opportunities for growth
  • Identify new opportunities for growth
  • Review SEO strategy to date
  • Review organic performance over time
  • Second set of eyes on tech, tech compliance, content, UX
  • Reduce potential for cannibaisation
  • Maximise compliance against things such as HCU/E-E-A-T

The Strategy

The strategy for Audley Travel was to first understand the needs, their own internal SEO efforts & to ascertain work being done vs impact.

As the site is sizeable & the brand is aged/established, there was a lot of data to review.

Identifying work done to date & subsequently impact over time, we could then review via the audit and identify where there are opportunities to improve/do things better.

The audit was conducted off the back of an initial consult to really get to understand where the priorities are for Audley as a brand

From there, we conducted a bespoke behemoth SEO audit that provided a full tear down / organic review, brand review, website, content, links and UX review.

SEO Strategies for Luxury Travel Brands

Affluent travellers face real decision fatigue when planning complex itineraries, and this fatigue pushes them toward highly structured queries instead: a full thought rather than a couple of keywords, something closer to "private Parisian townhouses with butler service" or "boutique hotels Amalfi Coast with private beach and concierge service."
