Who Is This Feature For?

This feature is reserved for properties across Italy that set the standard for where American travelers choose to stay. Whether a luxury resort on the Amalfi Coast, a historic palazzo in Rome, a vineyard villa in Tuscany, or a boutique guesthouse in the Dolomites — if your property defines the Italian summer experience, this feature was built for you.

    • You are entering a funding round or have recently raised, and your company is being evaluated. Investors, partners, and media are searching for your name. You need a credible, structured presence across trusted publications that reflects your positioning, traction, and category.

    • You operate in a space where multiple companies offer similar solutions, and perception drives trust. When someone looks you up, what appears needs to confirm your relevance, scale, and legitimacy across recognized business and financial media.

    • You are expanding beyond your core market and need immediate recognition in environments where you are not yet known. You need presence across authoritative US and global media to establish credibility at the moment of entry.

    • You understand that your company is being interpreted by search engines and AI systems. When your name, category, or competitors are queried, your presence across trusted sources shapes how you are described, ranked, and recommended.

  • Your name is becoming tied to your company and people are researching you directly. You need a presence that reflects credibility, clarity, and positioning across recognized media, not just your own channels.

  • You are launching a new product, entering a new category, or redefining your positioning. You need controlled, credible coverage that establishes the narrative you want associated with your company across multiple trusted sources.

  • You are in conversations where your company is being evaluated beyond your pitch. Decision-makers are searching for validation. What appears online needs to support trust, scale, and legitimacy.

What's Included

What's included.

01
Your written feature 100–150 words, crafted in the publication's voice, built around what makes you distinct. This isn't a generic description or a rewrite of your website copy — it's a positioned, story-driven segment that tells the readers exactly why you belong on this list.
02
Guaranteed placement Once accepted and confirmed, your spot is locked. You are in the article.
03
One high-resolution image Featured alongside your segment within the published piece.
04
Google-indexed backlink A permanent, Google-indexed backlink from usatoday.com — one of the highest-authority domains on the internet, with a DA of 94 and DR of 92. A single link from this domain carries more SEO weight than dozens of links from lower-authority sources, and it stays live long after publication.
05
AI discovery positioning When travelers ask AI where to stay on their travels, it pulls from trusted, high-authority sources. A feature on USA Today doesn't just reach today's readers — it positions your property inside the content that AI recommends tomorrow.
06
Amplification through co-participants Every property featured alongside you has its own audience of loyal, high-intent travelers. When they share the article, your property lands in front of people who already trust their taste — giving you reach far beyond your own channels, at no extra effort.
07
Press-ready link A shareable URL you can use across your own channels — website, social, newsletters, investor decks, PR pitches.
08
Segment review You see your feature before it publishes. You approve it.
Investment upon selection EUR 2,400 One time  ·  No recurring fees
