April 2014

Two of the biggest losers this month were searstravel.ca and travelplus.ca. Sears continues to control many first page positions, but has dropped rank on 32 search terms, while only rising on 8, and holding unchanged on 12. Travelplus.ca has been almost entirely thrown off of Google’s page one. We’ll see if this unhappy trend continues.

Marlintravel.ca is the regional leader with a #1 rank for many high-value search terms, like “travel agent peterborough”, while having just picked up another #1 for the more obscure “china tours from peterborough” and an extra two listings in the gross organic listings captured during this research (indicating rising relevancy with Google).

Here is the list of peterborough-area travel companies, most of which belong to large chains:
