Meet Kimberley Expeditions. 

For over a decade, Kimberley Expeditions has been guiding travellers through one of Australia’s most spectacular regions. Operating 14 luxury cruises annually along the Kimberley coast, this Darwin-based operator has built a reputation for unforgettable adventures through pristine wilderness and dramatic landscapes.

The challenge.

Kimberley Expeditions wanted to increase direct sales through their website, but our audit revealed several issues holding them back.

Technical SEO problems were creating internal keyword competition, while poor search visibility meant they were ranking on page four for their primary keyword “Kimberley cruise.” The site also lacked targeted content for different traveller segments such as seniors and solo travellers, and there was no conversion tracking in place to measure what was actually working.
