Current ClientObjective
InteleTravel's website was initially conceived and built by Hypha HubSpot Development with the primary goal of attracting new travel advisors for recruitment purposes. This strategic focus on building a robust network of independent, home-based advisors was met with great success, significantly contributing to the expansion of InteleTravel's advisor community. However, as market dynamics and consumer behaviors evolved, InteleTravel recognized the need to adapt its approach to keep pace with the changing travel industry landscape.
In early 2021, under the guidance of Hypha HubSpot Development, InteleTravel undertook a significant strategic pivot: The company sought to broaden its focus beyond the successful recruitment of travel advisors to directly attracting travelers with unique and personalized travel experiences.
This evolution of strategy led to the following key objectives:
- Shift the website's focus from recruiting travel advisors to attracting travelers, necessitating a redesign and rewrite to appeal to a new audience.
- Develop and implement a new content strategy centered around travel blogs that address key topics and questions potential travelers may have before booking their trips.
- Achieve significant growth in travel-intent keyword rankings and leads generated through the website.
- Expand InteleTravel's brand, reach, and market presence internationally, specifically targeting the U.K. and Mexico.
