Our approach

We combined organic and paid channels to fortify Exodus’ brand presence across the customer journey, from awareness to conversion. 

Elevating visibility and rankings

We conducted a comprehensive content audit, identifying E-E-A-T optimisation opportunities, and acquired high-authority backlinks around high-value destinations.

Strategically aligning SEO with paid campaigns improved upper-funnel keyword visibility, leapfrogging travel industry competitors and securing the top 3 positions in identified categories.

Within just one week of launching the revised campaigns, we identified key opportunities and adjusted bids to optimise performance and increase return on ad spend (ROAS).
