Revitalising digital presence to boost geology tour bookings

Geocultura specialises in expert-led, small-group geology tours, offering immersive experiences that explore Earth’s history and landscapes. Despite the unique nature of their offerings, their previous website was underperforming, leading to low booking rates and limited audience engagement.

The challenge

Geocultura faced several challenges with their existing website:

  • Low conversion rates: The site was not effectively converting visitors into bookings, impacting revenue and growth.
  • Outdated design: The website’s design did not reflect the company’s expertise or the immersive quality of their tours, failing to engage potential clients.
  • Inefficient integration: Lack of integration with essential systems like Rezdy for bookings and Campaign Monitor for email marketing hindered operational efficiency and client communications.
