Background

Meet Cape2Camp — Hiking & Camping the WA Way

Cape2Camp is a Western Australian adventure tourism brand offering hiking and camping experiences. Focused on nature-based travel, the brand connects people with scenic trails, multi-day hikes, and immersive outdoor getaways.

When Cape2Camp first approached us, they were operating with a basic Wix website consisting of only 3–4 pages. The site lacked structure, mobile optimisation, and the SEO foundation needed to compete in the adventure tourism space.

We (Aus Asia Online) began with a focused SEO strategy using the existing website — optimising technical elements, starting keyword research and publishing early blog content. After two months, however, we identified limitations with the current platform, especially in scalability, performance and user experience.

We recommended a full website redesign to align with SEO best practices and modern design standards. The client agreed — and within 4 weeks, we launched a new, fast-loading, SEO-optimised website.

With clear navigation, SEO-optimised content, and a visually engaging layout for hiking and camping enthusiasts, the new site gave us the solid foundation needed to push further SEO growth in the following months.

The Challenge

Where Cape2Camp Stood Before SEO

A brand with stunning offerings but almost no way for travellers to discover them online.

Little to no online visibility on Google.

Most traffic came from social media or direct links.

Important keywords were dominated by competitors.

No blog or structured content strategy in place.

Low local search presence on Google for WA trails.
