Why REVOLVE shows up first in AI answers
As AI-powered search transforms how consumers discover products, brands need to rethink how they show up in results.
At the start of 2024, REVOLVE, a global leader in online fashion retail, chose Verbolia’s Vpage to scale long-tail SEO and grow organic traffic from Google. But what started as an SEO play quickly turned into a powerful advantage in the emerging world of AI-generated search experiences.

To address REVOLVE’s need for scalable, high-performing landing pages, Verbolia deployed Vpage, a solution designed to:
