Challenge

What stood in the way

Brief risk

Without a Turkish-native publisher pool and clear approvals, the team risked more English authority that would not move local SERPs.

01

Peak season always arrived faster than content. Destination pages needed local citations before paid costs spiked.

Approach

How we ran the work

We front-loaded sample approvals, published destination guides in Turkish, and ran two digital PR angles with seasonal data the newsrooms would actually use.

Pool + briefs locked

Results

What changed

Outcomes are framed around pages and conversions the client already tracked—not vanity referring-domain totals alone.

During the peak window, organic bookings on targeted destinations rose 54% year over year, with a 17% reduction in paid share of voice on those same routes.
