Goals
- Show up for travelers with relevant content during every stage of their trip planning.
- Showcase unique family-focused content and articles on Google Search.
- Cut costs and break ahead of pack in the travel space on general search queries.
Approach
- Used DSA to maximize brand’s search ad presence with limited team resources.
- DSA allowed the brand to fill gaps in search campaigns and capture more general family travel-related searches.
“DSA allowed us to quickly and easily expand our coverage to deliver hyper-relevant ads and content to potential customers, ultimately boosting the overall revenue-generating ability of our editorial content. After the performance it delivered, DSA is now the key revenue driver and focal point of our paid search strategy, as well as a key area of growth across other brands in our portfolio.”
