Friday, 28 Mar, 2013 0

TripAdvisor was the most visible website on Google for foreign hotel searches last month, according to a report by Greenlight.

It found that the travel review site ranked top for 144 keywords, including ‘Dubai hotels’, in long-haul searches. In the short-haul market, it ranked top for six keywords, including ‘Rome hotels’.

TripAdvisor achieved a 68% share of voice in long-haul searches, thrashing its competitors. Expedia ranked second, with only a 26% share, followed by Marriott and Laterooms.com, which each achieved a 17% share.

In short-haul searches, TripAdvisor achieved a 52% share, followed by Laterooms.com with 33% and Expedia with 31%.

Earlier this week we reported that TripAdvisor was the most influential hotel-related website on social media.
