OVERVIEW
The practice of adjusting a website’s technical settings, content relevancy, and link popularity in order to improve search rankings for its pages is known as SEO or search engine optimisation.
Search engines promote SEO tactics that raise page ranking and user search experience by offering pertinent information. This involves, among other SEO best practices, the use of relevant keywords in page titles, meta descriptions, and headlines (H1), using targeted keywords for descriptive URLs instead of using strings of numbers, and schema markup to specify the content of the page.

SERVICES
Outreach & Linkbuilding
The number of websites linking to your website is frequently mentioned as one of, if not THE most crucial ranking criteria. A1 SEO has built up a sizable network of trustworthy websites that we may reach out to for building links.
If your competitors are ranked highly and show up on the first page of search engine results, they will be building links on a large scale. However, making connections takes effort. As we are experts in link building, let A1 SEO manage the link building for your travel SEO campaign.
Local SEO
You can bring in clients who are looking for products and services in your area by using local SEO for travel. Two search types—local searches and location-based keywords—are the focus of local SEO.
A local website can easily be ranked. We at A1 SEO adhere to a procedure that has been improved over the previous ten years. There is no SEO black magic, just simple, tried and trusted tasks. When properly carried out, this method will improve your website's ranks on location-based search terms and in the local map pack.
On-Page SEO
The elements of a page are referred to as on-page SEO (search engine optimisation). The majority of the time, you have direct influence over these factors, and you can change them right away.
By giving on-page SEO the attention it calls for, Google can better determine the relevancy of your landing pages and connect your content to popular search terms.
SEO Audits
At A1 SEO, we know the SEO audit process inside and out. We have evaluated hundreds of websites over the past five years and have determined the key, fixable sticking spots in each and every one of them.
We use a variety of methods to assess technical, on-page, and off-page (link building) components in order to assess the overall health of your website.
An SEO audit from A1 SEO is the ideal place to start if you want to know where your website stands with Google and get practical suggestions on how to improve its ranking on web directories.
SEO Consulting & Training
Although they lack experience, your team is likely capable of making your website's search performance better. Strategic guidance can help your in-house team accomplish a lot, but hiring an SEO expert is pricey.
A1 SEO is aware that many big travel businesses prefer to develop the talents of their workers and only hire outside organisations for strategic planning. Some of the biggest in-house marketing teams in the world, including FMCG, B2B, and B2C teams, have been educated by us.
Technical SEO
The cornerstone for scaling link building and content marketing is technical SEO (including on-page SEO). Technical SEO plays a great part in creating a Google-friendly website.
Sites that provide more relevant information to Google are ranked higher. It's like handing your professor a 10,000-word dissertation in Spanish who speaks English. Good material is useless if the examiner cannot read it.
Technical SEO is effective. The speed at which A1 SEO can begin working on your website will affect technical SEO.
With technical SEO, we have total control. Content campaigns for link building produce instant outcomes. Google's algorithm takes some time to evaluate your site again, but once the process is done, you should see an improvement in rankings in Google search results and other organic search results.
White Label SEO
Some of the biggest marketing companies in the UK have entrusted A1 SEO with managing an SEO campaign for them. We are aware that hiring, onboarding, and account maintenance for clients can be challenging. A1 SEO's short-, medium-, and long-term proven strategies help ease new client strain.
Link building is the main focus of our white-label SEO for the travel industry. Most agencies lack the time and knowledge necessary to build high-quality links. For agencies without their own SEO team or those going through personnel changes, we offer technical SEO, on-page SEO, and reporting.
You can take on more clients without hiring as quickly if you can outsource a significant portion of your SEO approach. With the final client or the agency, we are constantly available for phone conversations and in-person meetings.
OUR PROCESS
Onboarding
Once your contract is signed, we will begin our onboarding process. Our onboarding process kicks off the entire SEO campaign. From here, we will brief in your website's technical auditing, including on-page and off-page audits. We will also create your own tailored reporting dashboard so you can have complete oversight of your SEO strategy's performance. At this stage, we also ask you to fill out a couple of forms to help our internal dedicated team put together an SEO strategy.
Strategy Call
After the onboarding stage, you will already have deliverables being completed against your account, and the clock will be ticking towards increased rankings. By now, our team will have spent a considerable amount of time familiarising themselves with your segment of the travel industry or travel sector. We will reach out to arrange a deep dive call to go through our proposed travel SEO strategy and gain feedback to allow us to tailor this travel SEO strategy further so that you are up to date on meeting your goals. We encourage all of our clients to commit to regular catch-ups on-going, ideally on a bi-weekly basis.
Niche Analysis
Now we're cooking with gas! Armed with the knowledge gained from the onboarding process and our SEO strategy call, our team of SEO experts will conduct an in-depth niche analysis, covering every topic and sub-topic within your slice of the travel industry. From here, we will create a master database containing each page of your website and what is required to start moving the needle in an extremely granular way. This process takes anywhere from 20 to 500+ hours!
Link Building Strategy
Whilst your granular page-level strategy is being devised, our team of in-house digital PR experts will crawl through your Google Search Console account to find the biggest opportunities for external links. We look for pages where links will move the needle in a big way getting you the best possible ROI for your budget. Our team has the ability to deliver scalable off-page travel SEO strategies from day five!
Technical SEO Sprint
During the niche analysis and early link building stages, our technical SEO team will be in the background working their magic. We benchmark all of our clients' travel websites against a 100+ point checklist and action any anomalies we find. We also do a deep dive within Google Search Console, looking for query gaps, indexing issues, broken average position lines and much, much more. This is a sprint that is repeated every single month.
SEO Scale Up
The previous steps in our process tend to take 1-3 months. By this point, you will begin to see movement in the SERPs and will have a good idea of how we work and operate. All of the systems we have put in place for your travel business to date are designed to scale up nicely. At this stage it is a case of being aggressive with publishing new and optimising older pieces of content, building links and keeping on top of the website's technical SEO.
WHY CHOOSE A1 SEO

In extremely competitive industries, our A1 SEO agency has collaborated with some of the fastest-growing businesses in the world. We are very skilled, meticulous in our planning, and diligent.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does SEO take to work?
This depends on many factors, including which segment of the travel industry you operate in, keyword competition and much more. SEO takes time and the travel industry is a highly competitive market, but SEO should yield results in 6–12 months. The results you'll see are increased organic traffic, a rise in link popularity and an improvement in leads or conversions. Any travel business investing in SEO should expect to see progress within this timeframe, even if you haven't reached your goal.
How does link building help SEO?
One strategy in search engine optimisation (SEO) is link building, which sends a message to search engines like Google that your website is an authoritative resource. This means that sites with more high-quality backlinks will likely rank higher.
What is on-page optimisation in SEO?
On-page optimisation, also known as on-page SEO, is the process of enhancing a website's search engine rankings through changes made on the page itself. Measures to enhance the meta description and title meta tags are examples of this.
What does a Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) specialist do?
When a website is tested, analysed, and modified by an SEO specialist to be deemed search engine friendly by Google's algorithm and other major search engines, it rises in the rankings.
An SEO specialist can do wonders for a travel business by increasing its website's Google rankings through the use of travel keyword research, travel copywriting, and SEO tools like Google Analytics. Some may also collaborate with other members of a marketing team to create targeted new initiatives or improve the management of social media accounts in an effort to increase user engagement and website traffic.
What services does A1 SEO Offer?
A1 SEO offers scalable travel SEO services, focusing on link building, content marketing and optimisation, technical SEO, local SEO, SEO consulting and SEO training.
Do you specialise in any particular sectors?
Simply put, no, we do not specialise in any sector. That being said, the majority of our business is in eCommerce SEO, where businesses are selling directly through a website. However, we have helped build dozens of high 6- and 7-figure lead generation businesses in various industries.
Why do I need A1 SEO when I can hire a specialist in-house?
Using a third-party travel SEO agency has a lot of benefits, like having access to a team of experts who are up-to-date on marketing and the latest industry trends and developments in search technology, instead of just one person trying to keep up with everything. In addition, with only one in-house specialist, you'll have to account for meetings, sick days, and annual leave which may render you without an SEO at crucial times.
With A1 SEO, you get a group of people, not just one. You gain experience in many different fields, not just your own, and as we invest in training and development, you get better employees who bring more value to your travel business more often.
Not only do we take away the risk of hiring the wrong person, but we are also likely to be much cheaper than hiring someone in-house. Most importantly, you can trust us as a dedicated travel SEO agency. Trust, Loyalty, and Collaboration (TLC) are the core of how we do business, and the success of the travel companies we work for is always our top priority.
Why is it so important for SEO to have a content strategy?
The best content marketing strategies are those that focus on getting you seen in the searches that bring the best customers to your website. It's not about being popular or following the latest trend. Instead, it's about being relevant, easy to reach, and there when customers need you.
The good news is that we've been working on content strategies since long before they became trendy, so we know what it takes to get your website to rank.
Do you offer quick fixes and "black hat" SEO?
You can be "number one" for a keyword in a few weeks, but if it is a very popular keyword, the only way to do this is to trick the search engines. Some companies think this is a good solution, but the Search Engines always figure it out and punish the site, so we don't use it. It's short-sighted and doesn't work, so we don't do it.
How much do you charge for your services?
Starting at £1,200+VAT per month, we offer a range of SEO services for travel agencies. We have a variety of packages that will work for most growing businesses, depending on their needs. Get a quote from us and a free consultation and review of your website by contacting us directly.
Who is A1 SEO owned by?
A1 SEO is an independent family-run business. We are a limited company. Registration number is SC699214.
Why should I work with an SEO agency like A1 SEO instead of an agency that does everything?
There are a lot of agencies out there that say they offer "full service" and can do everything. From what we've seen, this is almost never the case. Most of the time, they will be good at some things but not so good at other things. They will say they can do all services, but they will outsource some of them without you knowing. We're different because we only offer and specialise in SEO services.
How long are your contracts?
We offer monthly rolling contracts with a 6-week cancellation policy. We don't tie you into 12- or even 6-month contracts as we are that confident in our ability to provide travel SEO services that are top-quality.
