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.
