- In-house SEO leadership by Aditya Aman as SEO Manager
A large travel marketplace needs search decisions tied to inventory and revenue.
Travel demand changes by destination, attraction, activity, date, and market. SEO has to connect that demand to inventory people can actually evaluate and buy.
The work also sits inside a live product organisation. Search priorities must account for templates, engineering, merchandising, content, analytics, and the commercial value of each landing-page family.
The work was designed as one connected system.
Lead search as a commercial channel
Set priorities around the pages, markets, and search journeys capable of supporting transactions and revenue.
Coordinate marketplace systems
Worked across large inventories, destinations, experiences, transactional landing pages, and the teams responsible for production.
Connect demand to page types
Mapped how destination, attraction, activity, and product searches should resolve to useful marketplace experiences.
Measure business contribution
Kept organic revenue beside traffic and rankings so search decisions could be evaluated commercially.
Organic search contributed more than US$1 million in monthly revenue.

The page does not disclose confidential dashboards, transaction counts, or a causal breakdown by tactic. Its purpose is to define the scale, role, industry, and commercial responsibility accurately.
What another team can take from this work.
Measure the marketplace, not only the keyword
Inventory availability, page usefulness, conversion, and revenue determine whether a ranking creates business value.
Make role context explicit
In-house leadership demonstrates operating ownership; it should not be presented as an agency engagement.
Build systems that survive scale
Destination and experience SEO depends on repeatable page, data, content, and internal-link decisions.
Continue from this proof to the work it demonstrates.
Evidence is more useful when its boundary is explicit.
- This was Aditya’s in-house role, not an agency engagement.
- Confidential revenue dashboards and tactic-level attribution are not published.
