SEO Overhaul for Cruise Travel Site

My cruise-focused travel site needs a comprehensive SEO tune-up so that Google rewards us with higher positions and, in turn, a steady rise in qualified organic traffic. The content library is already solid, but technical gaps, uneven on-page optimisation and a thin backlink profile are holding us back from the visibility we should be enjoying for core cruise, itinerary and deals-related keywords.

Here is what I would like to see delivered:

• A brief technical audit highlighting crawl, speed and indexation issues, plus a prioritised fix list
• Keyword research and mapping that aligns search intent with every important landing page
• On-page improvements (titles, meta descriptions, headers, internal linking) implemented or clearly documented for my developer
• A scalable content plan that fills topical gaps and supports future blog posts, destination guides and comparison pages
• An ethical, cruise-relevant link-building roadmap that strengthens authority without risking penalties
• Tracking setup and a simple reporting framework so I can monitor traffic and ranking gains over time

Please send a detailed project proposal outlining tools, methodology, milestones and timeframes. Prior experience with travel or niche tourism sites is a bonus, but a clear explanation of how you will move the needle on Google is what will ultimately decide. I’m ready to start as soon as the right plan lands in my inbox.
