What to do about it

Three calls for the next quarter.

01Double down

Concentrate PR effort on the readable tier.

Lonely Planet, Afar, Forbes, CNN, Outside, InsideHook are doing the heaviest grounding work in AI's current understanding of your destination. Aim for one signature placement per season in this tier.

02Reframe

Treat blocked premium titles as brand-building, not AI-grounding.

Texas Monthly and Travel Texas are valuable for human readers and prestige, but they're invisible to AI today. Don't redirect AI strategy budget to them.

03Invest

Invest in structured-review properties AI can parse.

Google reviews, NPS reviews, and on-site testimonials with schema markup. Encourage attractions to surface review counts and ratings inline.

HOW DAVI MEASURES THIS

External readability is sampled across 79 third-party sources covering the destination · review platforms, travel publications, OTAs, and editorial coverage. Each source is classified as readable, partial, or blocked based on whether AI crawlers can fetch and parse the primary content without JavaScript or paywall barriers.
