Products & Services for Bike Tour Operators
- SEO for Bike Tour Operators Client
A strong SEO foundation begins with an on-page keyword strategy, but is bolstered by off-page SEO initiatives. For our bike tour and bike rental clients, we focus on local and “near me” terms as the lead time for bike operators is typically shorter and in-destination. We also focus on key partnerships and backlink outreach to reinforce the website SEO strategy and provide quality referral traffic and bookings.
- Content Marketing for Bike Operators
Content Marketing targets key customer persona types, pain points and questions that potential customers are seeking answers for. We leverage hub and spoke content strategies with our bike operators to provide potential customers with valuable informational guides, reinforce the website’s expertise, authority and trustworthiness (E-A-T), and create internal linking opportunities.
- Google Ads for Bike Operators
TOMIS works with advertising budgets of all sizes when it comes to Google Ads. Depending upon paid advertising goals and business initiatives, we also manage and optimize a variety of campaign types. During the peak booking months of bike tours (May-July), our Chicago client was seeing an average of 7.8x ROI on Google Ads campaigns. These campaigns included bike tours, bike rentals, and adjacent tour campaigns based on their tour offerings.
- AI ChatBot for Bike Operators
Chances are if you’re a bike operator, you’re always on the go. This leaves little time for you or your staff to field every last minute booking question coming through over the phone or email. The TOMIS AI ChatBot has been leveraged by bike operators to enhance the online user experience by answering tour and rental related questions; providing tour recommendations based on the user’s interests, needs and availability; directing customers to meeting locations; and sharing helpful biking and area guides by linking to blog posts and key website pages.
