The challenge

Before the engagement, Explore had a stagnant crawl footprint, thin metadata coverage on travel pages and no schema markup on their money URLs. Rankings were volatile, click-through rates lagged category benchmarks and AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) rarely surfaced the brand.

What the WBP program shipped

  • Migrated the entire site onto WpBulkPublishing and ran a one-click audit on every URL — titles, descriptions, canonicals, hreflang and Open Graph.
  • Used the bulk editor to rewrite 462+ metadata records across travel category, tag and product pages in a single session.
  • Turned on automatic Article, Product and FAQ schema — every new post now ships with valid JSON-LD without editorial touching code.
  • Deployed AI Link Genius to build 647 contextual internal links and repair 62 orphan pages.
  • Enabled the llms.txt file and AI Visibility tracker so brand mentions in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini could be measured and grown.

"WpBulkPublishing turned SEO from a monthly slog into a background system. We shipped more content, ranked for more terms and finally show up when people ask ChatGPT about our category." — Head of Growth, Explore
