‘Best Travel & Leisure SEO Campaign’ – European Search Awards

Headline Results

+610%

ROI compared to the previous year.

+35%

SEO visibility increase, +11% above target. Now 4x the closest competitor.

The Client

Work the World is the UK’s leading provider of medical elective placements abroad for healthcare students.

Industry: Travel & Leisure.

Target Audience: University-level healthcare students.

The Challenge

In July 2022, Work the World needed to capitalise on recovering post-Covid travel markets. The targets: +22% SEO visibility and +12% non-brand enquiries within 12 months.

What We Did

We optimised key landing pages, restructured internal linking, and implemented structured markup. An E-E-A-T audit strengthened authority. We manually mapped hreflang across four regional sites for accurate targeting.

We also leveraged the blog to target broader terms like ‘electives in Asia/Africa’, which drove significant traffic and funnelled users to conversion pages. We worked with developers to transform the electives hub into a deeper, SEO-friendly landing page.

The Results

+35% SEO visibility

by June 2023, exceeding target by 11%. Now 4x ahead of the nearest competitor.

+32% enquiries

growth year-on-year, +39% vs 2019. Beat target by 19%.

610% ROI

driven by 376 additional enquiries.
Won ‘Best Travel & Leisure SEO Campaign’ at the European Search Awards 2023.
