The challenge

Sawadee wanted to increase online visibility and improve positions within search engines. The biggest challenge here was the limited amount of content and availability of technical resources, which made it difficult to grow organically. This made it crucial to find an efficient and scalable solution that would not only improve findability, but also ensure a long-term sustainable strategy.

The approach

valantic developed an integrated SEO strategy based on three pillars: technical SEO, content optimization and AI-driven content creation.

Technical SEO optimization and content strategy

To improve the website’s technical performance, rendering issues were addressed, the internal link structure was optimized and duplicate content issues were resolved.

In addition, correct hreflang tags, which help search engines determine for which language and region a page is intended, provided strong SEO growth in the Belgian market.

A content strategy was rolled out to reduce internal competition between pages. Finally, roundtrip pages and blog content were optimized according to Google’s guidelines for “helpful content,” with a specific focus on search behavior around the best travel time per destination.

AI-driven content creation

An important part of the strategy was the implementation of AI for content generation. Several search behavior analyses showed that users often search for local attractions, inspiration and practical tips.

Because producing content at scale was a challenge, valantic developed a custom-written Python script. This script automatically generates content via the OpenAI API:

  • The team of experts at valantic create dynamic, SEO-driven prompts that meet Google’s strict guidelines, ensuring that users actually receive valuable and relevant content.
  • The script then produces large-scale content of a quality comparable to that of experienced copywriters.

In addition, content about local attractions is particularly well suited for AI-driven production, as this information is generally stable and changes infrequently. This enabled us to efficiently create relevant content at scale while closely aligning with travelers’ search intent and information needs.

This approach allowed Sawadee to build a valuable content library in a short period of time, without relying on manual content creation
