The Challenge

A stunning property. An invisible website.

Tranquille Resort had exactly what travelers search for — a private lakeside retreat, beautiful cabins, and a setting most people don't know exists. The problem: when someone searched for Lake Chatuge cabin rentals, they found everyone else first.

Their existing site was slow, hard to navigate on mobile, and invisible to AI search engines. With the rise of ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, properties that aren't structured for AI citation are losing visibility fast.

Outdated site with poor mobile experience
Minimal search visibility for core terms
No AI search presence — invisible to LLM-based queries
No schema markup for vacation rental properties
Slow load times hurting both rankings and bookings
