International tour operators · Search engine optimisation

Appear when a family searches for the Europe, Dubai or Bali trip you actually run.

SEO for an international tour operator is the work of making your destination, visa and departure pages easy for search engines to understand and worth a traveller's click. GullySales builds that page structure and the content under it, and does not promise any ranking.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For international tour operators

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Travellers search by trip and by worry”

    A search such as Europe tour packages from Bengaluru with Indian food names a trip. A search about visa documents for Schengen names a worry. A site with only a brochure page answers neither, while separate pages for each meet the buyer at either door.

  • “Portals own the broad destination terms”

    A large online portal will always have more pages than you. Competing for a bare destination name wastes effort. Specific phrases that carry your departure city, your group type or your meal arrangement are where a smaller operator can be found.

  • “Old departures leave dead pages behind”

    A page for a departure that has run and gone still sits in search results, and a traveller who lands on it finds nothing to book. Each departure page needs a plan for what it becomes once the date has passed.

What we do

What we deliver for international tour operators.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A destination page map

    A list of the destinations and trip types you sell, each given its own page with a clear search phrase, so no two pages compete with one another.

    Result: You can see which trips have a page and which are still hidden inside a brochure.

  2. Visa and documents guides

    One plain guide per destination covering visa type, documents asked for and passport validity, written to answer the questions travellers type.

    Result: Visa searches land on a page that also shows the trips you sell there.

  3. Departure page upkeep rules

    A rule for what happens to a departure page when the group has run: archive, redirect or turn into a next-season page.

    Result: Past dates do not leave visitors on a page they cannot book.

  4. Page titles and descriptions for every trip

    Title tags and descriptions written for the traveller's phrase and your departure city, checked for repeats across the site.

    Result: Each page presents a distinct title in search results.

  5. Search and enquiry tracking

    Search Console set up and enquiries tied to the page the traveller came from.

    Result: You can read which pages bring calls and which only bring visits.

How the result is measured

  • Ranking positions
  • Organic traffic
  • Enquiries from organic search

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works

How the search engine optimisation work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Audit and baseline

    We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.

  2. 2

    Decide what to rank for

    We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.

  3. 3

    Fix the foundations

    Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.

  4. 4

    Build the pages

    A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.

  5. 5

    Publish and earn mentions

    Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.

  6. 6

    Measure, report, adjust

    At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How long before SEO brings enquiries?
Nobody can state that honestly, and GullySales does not promise it. Search results depend on competition, your site and the destination. What we can say is which pages to build first and how to check that they are indexed.
Do we need a blog for SEO?
Only where a question needs a full answer, such as how the visa process works or what a first trip abroad involves. A blog of general travel writing brings readers who do not book.
Should each country get its own page?
Yes where you sell the country as a trip. Where you sell only one add-on, such as a stopover, a section on the main page is enough.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
