This search engine optimisation , worked well until about five years ago. Around that time, Google began placing more ads on the top of search results, pushing down the free listings. The internet giant also built new travel search tools, which were mostly paid listings. “Google has got more aggressive,” TripAdvisor CEO Stephen Kaufer said during a conference call with analysts late on Wednesday. “We’re not predicting that it’s going to turn around.”
DA Davidson analysts wrote that Expedia is exploring alternatives to mitigate its “reliance on search/Google”, but they see “no alternatives that will be able to efficiently ‘move the needle’ from a volume perspective anytime soon”.
