Google Ads puts your tours in front of travelers who are searching RIGHT NOW. Not someday, not maybe—they're actively looking to book. That's incredibly high-intent traffic.
Have a winter ski trip launching next month? A summer adventure package? Google Ads lets you turn on campaigns quickly and scale spending when you need it most. SEO takes months; Google Ads works immediately.
Unlike other marketing channels, Google Ads shows you exactly how much you're spending and what you're getting back. Every booking can be tracked to a specific ad campaign and keyword. You know your ROI.
When someone searches "Costa Rica tours," both you AND Viator can show ads. Google Ads gives you a fighting chance to capture that high-intent traffic before the user even sees organic results.
We don't bid on every tour-related keyword. Instead, we target the specific searches where travelers are ready to book YOUR tours. This means lower cost-per-click and higher conversion rates.
Our Keyword Strategy:
We organize campaigns by destination, tour type, or seasonal offering. Each campaign targets a specific traveler intent. This structure lets us optimize bids and budgets separately for maximum ROI.
A good ad doesn't matter if the landing page doesn't convert. We audit your site and either optimize existing pages or build dedicated landing pages that match the ad's promise.
We don't set campaigns and forget them. We continuously monitor performance and adjust bids based on conversion data. High-converting keywords get more budget. Low performers get paused or reduced.
We set up sophisticated conversion tracking so you know exactly which ads and keywords drive bookings. This data drives all our optimization decisions.

Our management fee is based on ad spend tiers and the complexity of your campaigns. Every engagement starts with a free audit where we project your expected cost-per-booking and ROAS before you commit any budget.
We primarily focus on Google Search (highest intent) and Performance Max campaigns for tour operators. We also run YouTube ads and Display remarketing when the data supports it. We don't waste budget on low-intent placements.
