Travel Platform: 6,832% ROAS Across Search, YouTube and PMax

Multi-channel coordination across Google and Meta for a major booking platform, with retargeting built from real drop-off research.

The problem

A major travel booking platform needed to increase bookings and improve ROAS while ensuring cost efficiency. The target audience included high-intent segments such as repeat customers, cart abandoners and lookalike audiences.

  • Needed to scale bookings while maintaining cost efficiency across multiple campaign types
  • Required multi-channel coordination across Search, YouTube and Performance Max
  • Complex audience segmentation across international, local and brand campaigns

What we did

Multi-channel campaign strategy

  • Search campaigns for high-intent users actively searching for travel services
  • YouTube for awareness and remarketing to non-bookers
  • Performance Max targeting past visitors and custom intent audiences

  • Identified drop-off reasons via a survey at the search listing stage
  • Launched targeted retargeting addressing the concerns users had raised
  • Achieved a 40.21% increase in purchases with 24.92% lower cost per purchase
