Benefits
SEO performance
Every microsite page is a fully rendered HTML document — no client-side rendering, no JavaScript dependency for content. Search engine crawlers receive complete, structured content on the first request, which improves indexing speed and ranking potential. Pages include semantic HTML, canonicals, hreflang tags for multi-language content, and structured data markup where applicable.AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)
AI search engines and large language models favour content that is clear, structured, and authoritative. Microsite pages are written and formatted to appear as high-confidence answers to destination and travel planning queries. This means your content is more likely to be surfaced in AI-generated summaries and conversational search results, giving you visibility in a channel that traditional SEO does not fully address.Multi-language support
Pages are generated in all languages configured for your site. Each language variant is independently indexed, extending your reach across international search markets without duplicating manual effort.Domain authority and the reverse proxy
The reverse proxy is one of the most important aspects of the microsite setup. Rather than hosting content on a subdomain (e.g.microsite.yourdomain.com) or a third-party domain, the reverse proxy serves microsite pages as part of your main domain (e.g. yourdomain.com/destination).
This matters for two reasons:
- Domain authority — all SEO signals (backlinks, page authority, engagement signals) accumulate on your main domain rather than being split across a separate hostname. Over time this compounds, making new pages rank faster and more competitively.
- Trust signals for AI — AI crawlers and answer engines weight content more heavily when it appears on a domain with an established trust profile. Pages on your primary domain inherit that trust immediately.

Sitemap integration
Each microsite generates its ownsitemap.xml covering all destination, guide, and topic pages. For search engines to discover and index these pages as part of your domain, you must reference the microsite sitemap in your main domain’s sitemap_index.xml:
Page types
| Page type | Description | Status |
