The new front door to travel

When a traveller asks AI for a recommendation, do you show up?

Travellers increasingly start trip planning by asking ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, not Google. If your business isn't in those answers, you're invisible at the exact moment a trip is chosen. This is what we fix, and what almost no other travel agency can prove.

  • ✓ We structure your site so AI engines can understand, trust and quote it
  • ✓ We build the entity, content and citations that get you recommended
  • ✓ We track your visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Perplexity, monthly

If you only want a good-looking travel website, we're not the right fit

Anyone can build something polished, and cheaper options exist for that. What very few agencies understand is how travel is actually researched and booked, and how to make you visible in both Google and AI search so the right travellers find you. Most agencies stop at handover. We start with your data: where visitors drop off, why enquiries don’t convert, how dependent you are on OTAs, and whether AI recommends you at all. Then we build something that solves all of it before a single pixel is designed.

A travel specialist vs. a general agency

  • × Heavy galleries that slow the site to a crawl on mobile
  • × Weak destination and itinerary structure that never ranks

  • × No idea whether AI tools recommend you or not
  • × Hands over the site and moves to the next client

  • ✓ Fast Core Web Vitals on every device, image-rich but quick
  • ✓ Purpose-built destination, tour and itinerary templates
  • ✓ SEO, GEO and CRO built in as one system from day one
  • ✓ Built and tracked to be found and cited in AI search
  • ✓ Ongoing optimisation, measured in bookings and revenue

One system to get you found, booked and growing

A fast site that no one can find is as useless as a findable site that never converts. Design, SEO, AI visibility and conversion work together from day one, built specifically for how travel is booked.

Travel website & AI visibility questions, answered

Yes. Kijo Digital is a specialist travel and tourism growth agency. We work with safari and lodge operators, tour operators, DMCs, boutique hotels, villas, and adventure and marine travel businesses. Focusing on one industry means we deeply understand the traveller booking journey, and can make your business visible in both search and AI.

AI search visibility, or Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), is the practice of structuring your website and online presence so AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity understand, trust and recommend your business. As more travellers plan trips by asking AI, GEO helps your business appear inside those answers, not just in a list of links.

We build direct-booking and enquiry-focused websites, optimised for search and AI, so travellers find and book with you directly instead of through OTAs that charge commission. The result is more margin kept per booking and a sales channel you own rather than rent.

Travel website projects typically start from around USD $7,000 (GBP £6,000). The final price depends on the number of tours and destinations, whether you need a booking engine or enquiry funnel, and languages and currencies. We quote a fixed price after a short discovery call, in ZAR, USD, GBP or EUR.

Yes. Much of our travel work is international. We're based in Cape Town and work with operators, lodges and DMCs across Africa, the UK, Europe and beyond, quoting in your local currency.

Yes. Redesigns are a large part of what we do. We audit your current site's performance, SEO, AI visibility and enquiry flow, then rebuild what's losing you bookings while preserving the rankings and content already working for you.

A focused tour operator or lodge site typically takes four to eight weeks. Larger multi-destination or booking-integrated builds take longer. Timelines depend mostly on how quickly content, tours and images are ready, which we help you structure during discovery.
