Case Study: NT Tour Operator Skyrocketed Revenue with Google Ads



Google Ads Success

At Monsta Media Moreton Bay, we believe in delivering real, measurable results that help businesses thrive. Today, we’re excited to share a case study highlighting the incredible success of one of our clients, a Northern Territory tour operator, who saw outstanding growth in revenue and bookings thanks to our strategic Google Ads campaign.

Through carefully planned campaigns and expert digital marketing strategy, we achieved a remarkable ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) and generated impressive revenue numbers that transformed their business. Here’s how we did it, and how your business can experience similar success by partnering with a top-notch digital marketing agency like Monsta Media Moreton Bay.

The Challenge: Increasing Bookings and Revenue

Our client, an established NT tour operator, approached us with a clear goal: they wanted to increase bookings for their popular wildlife and sightseeing tours, attract both international and local travellers, and grow revenue.

They faced some challenges, including:

  • Seasonality impacting bookings.

  • Difficulty in reaching overseas tourists post-pandemic.

  • Competition from other tour operators and travel experiences in the region.

They needed a targeted approach that would attract both domestic and international travellers while making sure the right messages reached the right people.

Our Approach: A Strategic Google Ads Campaign

At Monsta Media Moreton Bay, we kicked off this campaign by taking a data-driven approach. Google Ads provides incredible tools for targeting specific audiences based on location, interests, and search behaviour. With the right strategy, we knew we could hit the sweet spot between capturing high-intent search traffic and showcasing the unique selling points of the tour operator’s offerings.

Step 1: Research & Campaign Setup

We began by conducting in-depth keyword research to understand the specific terms that travellers—both locally and overseas—were using to find tours and travel experiences in the Northern Territory. This formed the backbone of our Google Ads strategy, allowing us to target high-intent searches.

Step 2: Audience Segmentation

One of the key components of our strategy was audience segmentation. We designed separate campaigns to target two distinct groups:

  1. International tourists, searching from abroad and planning trips to Australia.

  2. Domestic travellers, particularly from interstate, looking for exciting experiences within Australia.

By tailoring the ad messaging to suit each group’s motivations and search intent, we were able to deliver highly relevant ads that resonated with these potential customers.

Step 3: Ad Creative and Copy

To attract both local and overseas travellers, our ad creatives highlighted different aspects of the tours. For overseas visitors, the ads focused on the once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing NT’s famous crocodiles and iconic wildlife. For local audiences, we pushed messaging around the convenience of booking a short, adventurous getaway.

Our messaging also integrated clear CTAs (Call-to-Actions) to encourage urgency and promote family fun.

Step 4: Conversion Tracking and Optimisation

A robust campaign requires accurate tracking, so we integrated Google Analytics and conversion tracking from the start. This allowed us to monitor key performance metrics such as clicks, conversions, and overall ROAS.

We kept a close eye on each campaign's performance, making adjustments where necessary to ensure every dollar spent was optimised for maximum return.

The Results: An Incredible ROAS and Revenue Growth

The campaign delivered outstanding results. Over a three-month period (24 July – 24 October), the NT tour operator saw incredible growth:

  • Ad Spend: $8,650

  • Impressions: 31,000

  • Clicks: 8,718

  • Average CPC: $0.99

  • Conversions: 868

  • Conversion Rate: 9.96%

  • Cost Per Conversion: $9.96

  • Revenue Generated: $114,103.41

  • Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): 13.19x

The impressive ROAS of 13.19 means that for every $1 spent on advertising, the client generated $13.19 in revenue. In total, they made $114,103.41 from an investment of just $8,650—an exceptional return that far exceeded expectations!

Meeting Demand: The Success of Double Tours

The surge in bookings was so significant that our client had to start running two tours a day to accommodate the increase in demand. This is a perfect example of how effective Google Ads can help businesses grow not only their revenue but also their operational capacity.
