Vrbo Content Play
Vrbo
Vrbo wanted to increase its brand's search visibility in platforms beyond Google, as well as expand its social presence with useful and reliable listing content.
/ Challenge
We know “search” is more than just the Google search bar. Any platform with a search bar has the opportunity to reach your target audience. To answer this need, PACIFIC created “Content Play”, the easiest way to transform written content into video content and expand a brand’s social presence with quick production time, reduced costs, and that professional look.
In the travel industry, there are opportunities left on the table. From hotels to activities to flights and packages, there’s no shortage of search demand beyond Google itself.
In addition, with 82% of all internet traffic coming from video content and 64% of users being more likely to buy after watching a video, we had the opportunity to diversify traffic to more direct areas and drive more bookings.

So why not turn written content into an asset that gets results no matter the platform? And even further, why not turn it into a video asset?
Using our self-sufficient proprietary process and asset library, PACIFIC quickly created SEO-friendly scripts and storyboards transforming Vrbo family destination guides into 5 visually stunning and professional videos, each linking back to a U.S. family destination guide landing page with kid-friendly activities ready for YouTube and other social channels.
Each video was directly uploaded to their YouTube with SEO-optimized descriptions, tags, and elements for each chapter.
After 6 months (videos posted 7/26/21), we saw all videos ranking under “Suggested Videos” and owning the following rankings for the following videos:
