Unleashing the power of Google Ads
We knew the key to unlocking The Ultimate Travel Company’s full potential on Google Ads lay in a strategic overhaul. We started by restructuring their entire account, streamlining the bidding process for maximum efficiency.
Riding the search wave with a seasonality heatmap
But efficiency wasn’t enough. To ensure optimal budget allocation throughout the year, we created a cutting-edge “seasonality heatmap.” This heatmap visualised search volume trends for each destination and country, allowing us to strategically invest where potential customers were actively searching.
Goodbye keyword silos, hello data-driven bidding
Traditionally, keywords are segmented into neat little groups. We ditched that approach. Instead, we embraced a powerful grouping strategy. This empowered the data itself to guide our bidding decisions. As search trends evolved, so did our targeting, ensuring we were always bidding on the most relevant terms at the right time.
Brand domination: 90% impression share and beyond
For their brand account, we set our sights on achieving a staggering >90% impression share. We achieved this by strategically bidding on core brand terms and utilising match types that effectively captured all relevant searches related to their brand. This approach maximised brand visibility without wasting resources on unnecessary keywords.
