### Clicks and impressions trend

Clicks per day

Cruise Parking is a textbook long-tail travel query set: thousands of port, date and hotel combinations that people search once and book immediately.

The work was structural — templated location pages, clean internal linking and technical fixes so the crawler could actually reach every combination.

The trend line inflected roughly eight months in, which is what compounding looks like when the page inventory finally matches the demand.
