INTRODUCTION:
In July 2019, we launched a promotional marketing campaign for Egypt with Innovative Travel via our website and social channels. We created five interlocking, evergreen articles that are still seasoning on Google for SEO. Between our web pages and associated social media promotion, we have garnered well over 113k Impressions on our Egypt campaign so far. The detailed statistics and approach are described below.
STRATEGY:
It was our goal to write five related but unique articles highlighting travel to Egypt:
- Is Egypt Safe for Solo Female Travelers targets a high-traffic key word for safety conscious travelers and offers booking through Innovative Travel as a way to stay safe.
- All the Ancient Egypt History Needed to Plan an Egyptian Vacation speaks to historical travelers who would benefit from the in-depth information provided on an Innovative trip.
- Ode to Egypt – Is Egypt Still a Must-See Destination is a narrative piece that targets the emotional dream of traveling to Egypt.
- Seven Tips for a Luxury Nile Cruise that Will Convince You to Go targets a high-volume key word with one of the tips being to book through a company such as Innovative Travel.
- Abu Simbel Tours: What You Need to Know targets a high-volume keyword an features Innovative Travel’s ability to add on an Abu Simbel trip to a Nile River cruise.
We interlock the articles via links building a silo structure that enhances SEO, web visibility, and web authority.

A couple of our favorite comments we have received so far…
“I love the way you weave this story! Your passion and excitement for Egypt, after years of being intrigued by it, is so fun to read. Honestly Egypt was never really on my radar as a place to visit until I started reading your posts on it, and what you say about not truly seeing the world until you’ve experienced Egypt pretty much cements it for me – I’ve got to visit someday! I can’t believe Cairo is bigger than NYC, LA and Chicago combined…. that’s nuts. I’m not sure I could handle that haha but get me out to the Nile and the desert stat!! – Sarah
“I love posts like this. I tend to travel to a place that I know a little bit about, and then get SUPER interested in the history and study it all while I’m there or just after I leave – totally backwards! I need to spend more time reading about places before I go, so that I can more thoroughly enjoy the experience. I love that you made a complicated and lengthy subject – the history of Egypt! – so approachable and concise. This is awesome!” – Dani
“You make a good point – don’t believe everything you see on the news. I find that there are often misconceptions about Egypt, and am glad for companies like Innovative Travel who can help people see the amazing and safe parts for what they are.” – Hannah
