Search Engine Marketing remains one of the most cost-effective and efficient ways of advertising directly to your customers.

Over two-thirds of travellers turn to the web to research before deciding where or how they wish to travel and the majority will use a search engine in this research. Google Ads helps your business cut through onto the busy first page of Google and assists to get those all-important online bookings. It is fully measurable, allowing clear return on investment management.

As we live and breathe the tourism industry, our point of difference is our innate understanding and experience of what strategies and campaigns delivery results.

As a certified Google Partner we have an invaluable relationship with Google Account Managers who keep us up-to-date with the latest trends and changes.

Google Ads FAQs

Many tourism businesses successfully manage their own social media by posting consistently, engaging with followers, and sharing authentic stories. But working with an agency like Tomahawk can save you time and bring professional expertise in strategy, content creation, and paid campaigns. If you’re short on hours, want to grow faster, or need fresh creative ideas, we can take your social media to the next level while you focus on your customers.
Start by defining your audience, who are you trying to reach (backpackers, families, luxury travellers)? Then choose the platforms they use most, like Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok. Create a content plan with a mix of storytelling, visuals, and calls to action. Consistency is key: post regularly, engage with followers, and track what works so you can refine your strategy over time.
Both. We can develop your content strategy, create your posts, manage your community, and run targeted paid campaigns, or we can coach your team to do it confidently in-house.
We start with your audience. Every post should inform, inspire, or convert. We build content calendars around your brand’s voice, seasonality, and traveller interests, whether that’s adventure, relaxation, or local culture.
We do, where it makes sense. AI helps with brainstorming and efficiency, but all our content is reviewed, edited, and aligned to your brand tone by our human experts.
