The cost

Miss the answer, buy the demand back.

The answer is where travellers choose where to go and who to book with.

The gap

AI cites depth, not volume.

Assistants trust specific, connected, up-to-date knowledge about a place. Most destination content is too thin, and agencies, in-house teams and generic AI can't build that depth.

What obvlo does

We build the source first, then the pages.

Obvlo maps every place, event and insight in the destinations you market, and how they connect, then builds your pages from it, so AI can find, trust and cite them.

We map every destination you market

We find the gaps in your content, then map every place by where it is, what it is and who it suits.

AI recommends you

Travellers ask AI where to stay and what to do. Your pages connect your brand to the places around it, so the assistant can build its answer from you, and cite you.

Analyse

We benchmark your AI visibility and find the gaps in your content.

We start by auditing your website: taking your URL and checking how well set up you are for AI visibility, then producing a benchmark. At the same time we pick up your content pillars, work out the gaps, and identify what we should build. This is also where we learn your brand's tone of voice, ready to guide everything we write for you later.

◎

AI visibility benchmark

We audit your website URL to see how visible you already are to AI assistants and search engines, then score it against your category.

▦

Content gap analysis

We map your existing content pillars, spot the gaps, and identify exactly what needs building next.

✎

Brand tone of voice

We learn how your brand writes and speaks here too, so everything we produce later sounds like you.

Strategy

We turn the gaps into pillars, pages and the questions to answer.

We turn the gaps into targets. Content gets organised into pillars, then categories, then individual pages, each one tagged as a keyword target for SEO, a query target for GEO, or a question target for AEO. You can see the full structure at a glance, and tweak or refine it any time using a natural language chat tool.

Things to do

Practical info

A unique content database

One per customer, per destination, per domain

Every fact is already researched, curated, evaluated, branded and personalised, natively in each language, before a single page exists. Two hotels on the same street would build two different databases, so their pages can't ever be the same.

Stage 2 — Build the pages · reads only from the database above

Customer domain → Strategy → Sitemap → Pages composed → AEO / GEO / SEO → Optimised web pages

↻

Always improving

Content is kept up to date, and we feed back what we learn about which pages engage readers to fine-tune them and produce more like them.

⌘

Live on your domain, zero integration

Fully-indexable HTML pages, hosted by us and served through your domain via reverse proxy. No CMS work, no dev tickets, no replatforming — your content just appears.

▲

AI visibility audits

Regular audits score how ready your pages are to be found, understood and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

Deploy

Pages go live on your own domain, with no replatforming.

Deploy connects the content straight into your site. The main route is a reverse proxy: your existing domain serves the pages, so every page carries your URL and inherits your domain's SEO and GEO equity from day one. If that doesn't fit how your stack is set up, we also support an API, a WordPress plugin, and a JavaScript widget you can embed anywhere.

Recommended

Reverse proxy to your domain

Content lives at yourdomain.com/guides, or wherever you choose, served through your own infrastructure. No subdomain to build authority for, no separate site to rank, and nothing lost from your existing domain. This is the setup we recommend for almost every client.

API access

Pull structured content directly into your own templates and systems, if your team would rather build the integration.

◫

WordPress plugin

Drop content straight into a WordPress site with a plugin built for teams already running on WordPress.

▢

Embeddable widget

A lightweight JavaScript snippet that renders content anywhere on a page, useful for quick pilots or non-standard setups.

Measure

Track search, traffic and bookings alongside AI visibility audits, then feed what we learn back into the source, so the value compounds.

Once you're live, connect Google Analytics and Search Console and see it all in one place: clicks, impressions and rankings from traditional search, alongside regular AI visibility audits of your pages. No separate reporting stack, no manual exports.
