Beeby Clark+Meyler has been named a co-finalist of the 2026 Digiday Content Marketing Award for Best Use of AI in Content Production. The work that earned it: an AI-powered content workflow built for VISIT FLORIDA that drove a 712% increase in AI Overview visibility across their destination pages.
This is a brand new category. Digiday created it because AI in content production has exploded and those who use or build new tools to take advantage of it properly will win out.
What we built
VISIT FLORIDA’s /places-to-go/ section covers more than 200 Florida destinations. The pages were high-value, high-intent, and underperforming in Google's AI Overviews. Traditional copywriting at that scale would have been cost-prohibitive.
So we built a workflow instead. Using AI and automation, we identified the highest-volume traveler questions for each destination, generated FAQ content grounded in that data, and implemented FAQ schema to signal structured answers directly to search engines. The VISIT FLORIDA content team handled human fact-checking, editing, and final approval at every stage.
The results speak for themselves. AIO keyword presence grew from 985 to 8,000 between March and December 2025. Organic ranking keywords for the section grew 27% year-over-year. Individual destination pages saw organic click growth ranging from 160% to 657%. The workflow cut content production time by 75% and delivered an estimated 800% savings on copywriting costs.
