Slow mobile load time
Visitors wait, bounce, or switch back to an OTA before the tour page has done its job.
Technical booking-growth support
TheTechDodo helps tour operators and booking-based businesses identify technical website, tracking, SEO, speed, and booking-flow issues that may be costing direct bookings.
The expensive problem
A tour website can look fine and still lose bookings through technical friction. Slow pages, unclear mobile journeys, weak tour page structure, tracking gaps, missing schema, or OTA-heavy paths can quietly pull revenue away from direct bookings.
The first job is not to redesign everything. It is to diagnose what is actually leaking, prioritize the fixes, and avoid expensive guesswork.
Booking Leak Signals
These are the kinds of signals the Direct Booking Leak Audit is built to investigate and prioritize.
Visitors wait, bounce, or switch back to an OTA before the tour page has done its job.
The next step is present, but not obvious enough when someone is ready to book.
GA4, GTM, ads, or booking events are not telling you what actually drives inquiries.
Search engines get less structured context about tours, offers, reviews, or business details.
Traffic arrives, but the direct path is weaker than the third-party marketplace habit.
Too many steps, unclear availability, or awkward mobile UX creates decision drag.
The page may not answer the right questions in the right order before asking for the booking.
Offer ladder

Experience
I have hands-on experience managing and improving a complex multilingual tour operator website with serious online sales volume.
This includes work around a Norway Excursions-style environment: 40+ tours, 7 languages, WordPress, Cloudflare, Cloudways, WP Rocket, SEO, GA4, GTM, Search Console, schema, booking flows, OTA dependency, and Google Ads landing page quality.
Future case study placeholder: add specific screenshots, constraints, improvements, and careful results language after review.
