Flight Centre Limited, Australia’s best known travel agency group, has engaged Switched on Media to execute search engine optimisation strategies across three of its major websites: Flight Centre, Escape Travel and Student Flights.

“This is a monumental win for Switched on Media and a highly competitive account,” says Scot Ennis, Director of Switched on Media. “Travel is an expansive industry in the online environment, so there’s incredible opportunity to gain some good traction for these big brands.”

As cheap flights become more common, travellers are overwhelmingly turning to the internet to conduct their travel research. Recent studies show that as many as 66% of leisure travellers are going online to plan at least some part of their holiday.



For the Flight Centre brands, search engine marketing is a vital component of the company’s ongoing business development. “We are continually looking to develop and enhance the Flight Centre profile and we are pleased to be working with Switched on Media on this project,” says Nicole Moy, Marketing Manager for Flight Centre Limited.

Switched on Media will be employing a number of proven SEO strategies with the aim to improve rankings for key terms as well as boost overall traffic and the number of visitors to the sites.
