How a boutique hotel group in Ho Chi Minh City shifted their content strategy to target AI discovery — and saw dramatic visibility gains across their entire portfolio.

The Auno Group operates a portfolio of boutique hotels in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. They used the Visaible platform to increase their AI visibility across all three properties — Amanaki Thao Dien, Amanaki Saigon, and Anima Saigon — through a content-led optimisation strategy powered by Visaible's monitoring and content engine.

The Challenge

The Auno Group had invested in content marketing — but it wasn't translating into AI visibility:

  • Good content, wrong framing: The hotels had their own blogs, regularly posting about energy sustainability, local restaurants, and upcoming events. This was valuable content — but it wasn't structured or framed to be picked up by AI in key discovery queries
  • No AI visibility data: Without monitoring, the group had no insight into how — or whether — AI platforms were recommending their properties in traveller searches
  • Cost-conscious approach needed: As a boutique operator, the group needed a strategy that delivered results without relying on expensive third-party content distribution

The Strategy

  1. Visaible Monitoring: Once the Auno Group had access to Visaible's monitoring platform, they could see exactly how their properties were performing in AI-generated travel answers — and where the gaps were
  2. Content Engine: They used Visaible's finely tuned content engine to produce articles targeted at the specific prompts they wanted to rank for — each piece optimised for AI discovery and designed to maximise visibility impact
  3. Own-channel publishing: Instead of posting via third parties, they published approximately 15 Visaible-generated articles on their own website blogs across the three hotels over a six-week period — keeping costs low while maintaining full control

Key Insights

  • Own-channel content works: Content published on the hotels' own blogs was just as effective as third-party distribution — without the added cost
  • Manageable volume: ~15 articles published over 6 weeks is a realistic output for a small team — proving that meaningful results don't require massive content operations
  • Gains compound: The strongest result (9x+) came from the property with the most room for growth — showing that AI visibility improvements can accelerate over time
  • Monitoring is the foundation: You can't optimise what you can't measure — the Visaible platform gave the group the data they needed to focus their content efforts where it mattered most
