TripAdvisor thrashes competitors on Google
TripAdvisor was the most visible website on Google for foreign hotel searches last month, according to a report by Greenlight.
It found that the travel review site ranked top for 144 keywords, including ‘Dubai hotels’, in long-haul searches. In the short-haul market, it ranked top for six keywords, including ‘Rome hotels’.
TripAdvisor achieved a 68% share of voice in long-haul searches, thrashing its competitors. Expedia ranked second, with only a 26% share, followed by Marriott and Laterooms.com, which each achieved a 17% share.
In short-haul searches, TripAdvisor achieved a 52% share, followed by Laterooms.com with 33% and Expedia with 31%.
