How we work
These are the Wellows views our team works in every day. The data below is an example.
01 · Audit
We audit the whole domain, rank issues by traffic at risk, and fix them once you approve.
Technical audit · 300 checks
Example data02 · Bot analytics
If GPTBot or PerplexityBot can't reach a page, that page can't be cited. We check this every week.

| bernina express tour healthy | 2,066 | 12.10% | 5.4 | Watch |
04 · Internal links
We crawl every internal link on the site. Pages with no links pointing in, or none pointing out, get flagged. Then we score each link opportunity by topic match, authority and freshness.

05 · Topical depth
We map your main topics, the clusters under them and every supporting page, then compare that with what you've already published. Missing pages go straight into the content calendar.
Topical map · Tours
Example data06 · Content gap
We crawl the competitors you name in onboarding, map their coverage against yours, and rank the gaps by traffic and by how often AI answers name them instead of you.
Content gap · you vs 4 competitors
Example data| Topic | You | Competitor A | Competitor B | Competitor C | Competitor D | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tour pricing pages | deep | deep | deep | thin | deep | High |
| Visa-free destinations | thin | deep | deep | thin | thin | High |

| Group travel FAQs | deep | thin | thin | thin | thin | Low |
| Cruise packages | thin | deep | thin | deep | deep | Medium |
| Family tours | thin | thin | thin | thin | thin | Low |
07 · Backlink analysis
We compare your backlink profile with each competitor, then pull out the domains linking to several of them but not to you. Domains that AI engines already quote go to the top of the outreach list.
Referring domains
Example dataReferring domains, last 12 months. The gap is the work, not the score.
Link gap · top targets
| Domain | DR (domain rating) | Links to | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| travelweekly.example | 78 | 4 of 4 | Cited in 6 prompts |
| nomadlist.example | 71 | 3 of 4 | Cited in 4 prompts |
| balkaninsight.example | 66 | 3 of 4 | Roundup, no mention |
| r/travel thread | 91 | 4 of 4 | Quoted by Perplexity |
Your first 90 days
It starts with a workshop, not a crawl. We can't pick your prompts, competitors or topics until we understand what you sell and why people choose you.
Workshop with your team: what you sell, who buys it, your feature set, your competitors and what makes you different. Everything after this is built on it.
300-point audit, bot logs, Search Console, link map, content gap and backlink gap. Prompt set agreed, baseline captured.
Bot access, technical fixes, orphan pages and the first batch of internal links. These move fastest.
Topical map and gap list locked. Content calendar running. Slipping and low-CTR queries fixed every week.
Outreach to the link gap and to sources engines already cite. Quarterly review resets the plan on results.

Example data
FAQ
The questions a retainer raises, answered with what we will and will not commit to.
How is this different from hiring an SEO or GEO agency?
An agency reports on tools you never see. We built the instrument, so the work and the measurement live in the same place: your Wellows account. You can open it mid-month and check our claims against the same data we are looking at.
The practical difference is that you stop paying for the reporting layer twice.
Do you work on Google as well as AI engines?
Yes. The same work moves both: pages bots can reach, topical depth, internal links and trusted mentions. We report Google clicks and positions next to AI citations.
Do you fix things, or only recommend them?
We fix them. You approve the change, we ship it. If your stack means only your developers can deploy, they get a ticket with the exact change, the file and the reason.
What do you need access to?
Search Console, analytics, your CMS or a staging branch, and bot data from server or CDN logs. If logs aren't available we read bot visits from our own tracking script instead.
Can you guarantee rankings or citations?
No. AI answers change run to run, and Google changes weekly. We commit to the work volume in your plan and show you every result, good or bad.
What counts as a "new page" or an "optimization"?
A new page is a published URL of 1,200+ words or a full landing page. An optimization is a substantive rewrite of an existing URL against a specific query or prompt. Pruning, redirects and internal links don't count against either.
How do you choose which competitors to track?
You name them in the onboarding workshop. We then check who actually shows up for your queries and in AI answers, and bring back any name you missed before the set is locked.
How do you pick which prompts to track?
From your sales calls, Search Console data and category research. You approve the set before tracking starts, and we revise it each quarter.
Where do backlinks and mentions come from?
From pages engines already cite for your prompts: roundups, comparison posts, communities and publishers. We don't buy links from networks.
We already have an SEO agency. Does this overlap?
It can sit alongside. We map who owns what during the diagnostic so nobody duplicates work.
How fast will we see results?
Bot and technical fixes often show within weeks. Content, links and topical depth usually take a quarter to compound.
Can we cancel?
Yes, with 30 days notice on month to month. Everything we create, and your data, stays yours.
Scoping call
We'll run your domain through the audit and bot check live, and tell you honestly if we're the right fit.
