Our Award-Winning Campaign: Avanti Travel Insurance

While the shifting priorities may be understandable given the current economic circumstances, however, it’s crucial to emphasise that sustainability remains relevant and crucial for everyone.

Our research also highlights several points that demonstrate the continued importance of sustainability in the industry.

Our journey to this momentous victory began when we joined forces with Avanti Travel Insurance on an ambitious 18-month SEO campaign. The goal was to secure and maintain page 1 rankings, enhance their organic visibility, and empower them to compete with industry giants while offering comprehensive travel insurance options for all.

Through meticulous research, our team identified areas for improvement in brand trust, authority, backlinks, and keyword rankings. An invaluable insight revealed that individuals seeking a reliable insurance company place immense trust in NHS websites. This discovery provided an excellent starting point to expand Avanti’s reach and cater to a wider audience.

Our dedicated team embarked on an outreach program, targeting every NHS Trust in the UK to secure backlinks from their websites to Avanti’s homepage. Additionally, we focused on acquiring relevant backlinks from travel, finance, and insurance-related blogs, further strengthening Avanti’s digital authority. Our team proactively contacted 600 UK- based blogs aligned with these themes, resulting in 150 acquired links that strengthened Avanti’s position.

The outcome of this ground-breaking campaign was nothing short of extraordinary. Within just 12 weeks, Avanti achieved the remarkable feat of consistently ranking on page 1 for two highly competitive search terms.
