With the majority of online travel transactions referred by search, being found in Search Engine

results is now more important than ever. Participating in Sponsored Search ads is an effective

medium to secure immediate site visibility, build brand awareness, leverage promotions, generate

revenue, and supplement organic search engine optimization. Sabre develops highly targeted

pay-per-click advertising campaigns to meet both long and short term revenue goals. Whether

the objective is to generate direct bookings for last minute availability, build brand awareness

or support business during your low season, Sabre will design a campaign to fit your needs and

reach your target customers.

The PPC program differs from the Search Engine Optimization Program in aspects of fees,

control over copy, placement and implementation. With PPC, Websites pay to be listed under the

“Sponsored Link” section of Search Engine results for specific keywords. The Search Engines

position ads based on click rate and bid. This type of Search Engine Marketing (pay-per-click) drives

immediate site visibility.

Our Pay-Per-Click solution includes:

• Research, analysis and planning

• Implementation management

• Maintenance and optimization

• Reporting and analytics

To ensure the most accurate analytics and measurement of

ROI, we offer a call tracking portal that allows us to assign

a unique phone number to the Pay-Per-Click campaign and

record all calls generated from the campaign. The dynamic

technology is scripted into your Website’s code and connects

seamlessly to the general reservation line to enable review

of recorded telephone calls and tracking of any transactions

completed during the call.

Pay-Per-Click Advertising ManagementWe will design an end-traveler focused pay-per-click advertising campaign that helps you achieve your goals and outperform your competition.
