I’ve worked with a lot of travel brands over the years, ranging from household names to niche tour operators, and while a lot of SEO best practice can be standardized across the board – the travel vertical has its own nuances and challenges that throw some elements of best practice into question.
I’m an advocate of approaching each website and project with an open mind, and ready to accept that not all playing fields are level, or the same, and not taking the immediate blanket approach that a website needs more links and linkable content (an approach which unfortunately still exists today).

How budget airlines could be more attractive than their ticket prices.
So i’m on another flight. Not a particularly long one — Stansted to Stuttgart. Pretty simple. One hour twenty. Plenty of insights into in-flight experiences though. Eurowings is rich with points of experience (good & bad) and I’ve been getting more curious about it each flight. Eurowings, otherwise known as Germanwings is a budget airline, the airline of choice for a student like me living abroad. The flights are usually well managed, friendly and really surprising in the way you are treated. It’s sometimes a little weird though…

Having a quality user experience can be critical to the success of a business. But many marketers often underestimate the role that website performance plays in the user experience.
Nowhere is this truer than on mobile, where a slow-loading or poor-performing webpage can lose a user’s attention and interest within seconds.
Unlike desktop websites, mobile websites are typically accessed on the go, and in situations where people don’t have a lot of time or inclination to sit around waiting for a website to load.
