Driving visits, bookings & spend

CIE Tours

The Challenge

CIE Tours wanted more bookings from the same media budget. Tracking counted clicks rather than the quote requests and calls that become bookings.

The Solution

We rebuilt Google Search, Performance Max, and AI Max, plus a Meta funnel staged from awareness to conversion. Tracking now counts quote requests and calls, and budget moves each week to the ads producing them.

The Results

The same budget produces more conversions, cheaper leads, and a bigger audience. Figures compare H1 2026 with H1 2025.

Driving visits,
bookings & spend

People plan travel months before they book. We build campaigns around that pattern — inspiration early, offers in the booking window — and move budget every week to what’s actually producing enquiries, bookings, and visits.

What it does for the budget
