Sergiani Travel
TheSergiani Traveloffers day trips from Athens. The aim was to establish itself as the main office for this segment, as theCruise Escape for boat trips in Preveza, with an emphasis on quality and personalized service.
The SEOit was the channel for stable bookings without depending only on seasonality and paid.
Sergiani Travel has been operating since 1995 in Peristeri, with hundreds of excursions a year: one-day, multi-day, sea bathing, cruises, hikes. Every tour is a page for Google to find.
With almost 400 pages, many without description and with old tours still online, the site had volume but no organization.
01
82 tours without meta description and 68 with metas that didn't help
02
78 old 2023 and 2024 tours that were still getting shows
03
Second H1 on each page of the tour from the theme of the site
04
120 pages of taxonomies in the index without their own content
05
Blog articles that are short, with links to old URLs and without a clear structure
Our approach
Step 01
For tours: metas that read like a schedule
Over 200 titles and descriptions on pages, articles and tours, together with 78 old tours of 2023 and 2024. Each snippet says destination, duration and departure from Athens, because this is checked by the user before clicking.
Step 02
For Google: a travel agency with a clear identity
TravelAgency schema in the initial and TouristTrip schema that is automatically included in every excursion, and in future ones. Index cleaned of taxonomies, bogus and forgotten pages.
Nineteen articles were expanded to at least 600 words with correct heading hierarchy, and 40 internal links were corrected to point to the tours pages. Each article got read time, share buttons, CTA to book and three related articles.
Step 04
For the article archive: a Greek H1 and pagination that works
The News page had an English H1 from the topic and articles in one column. Got a Greek H1, four-column grid, and pagination that loads properly, while the old /blog/ 301s to /nea/.
Step 05
For the visitor: reasons to trust
The original got sections on office history, experience numbers and reviews, and the footer was rebuilt with services, contact, hours and proper social links.
