Я более двух лет уже живу в Азии и чаще именно во Вьетнаме, а не в Тайланде, и хотя я еще не стал настояшим гуру, но все же что-то уже познал и могу поделиться.&#x20;

[https://vietnamguru.ru/](https://vietnamguru.ru/)

Мой личный сайт про Вьетнам

vietnamguru.ru

Redesign the video section or remove it altogether.

Very often the coordinates of photos are important, and I specifically enabled geolocation access for the camera.&#x20;

In turn, a single article can contain several entities with their own coordinates at once (not just photos). That is, the system needs to be designed in such a way that it is possible to find the nearest relevant entities specifically taking coordinates into account.&#x20;

Work out the uploading of photos with coordinates, and entities with coordinates in general

For example, on the page [https://vietnamguru.ru/city/thai-nguyen](https://vietnamguru.ru/city/thai-nguyen) there is a link to Hanoi that leads to a non-existent website on the left.

Double-check external links

We are currently getting targeted traffic to the website, but very little interaction. We need to improve the bot's visibility and speed up the initial contact.&#x20;

Increase AI bot chat conversion rate

Set meta tags

Google hasn't added anything new in a month, but yesterday I restored the Map page and it immediately got indexed.&#x20;

![](/images/resized/middle/cmkppub1z0002mu0z427kxsay/1783356959928-image.png)



That means the site is indexing normally. We just need to add some new pages.&#x20;

Boost SEO

Currently, there are almost 1,500 legacy route records in the database. However, the data is stored in a flat structure like this:&#x20;

```json
{
  "id": 4,
  "city": "ho-chi-minh",
  "city2": "mui-ne",
  "time": "07:30",
  "time2": "12:30",
  "price": "120000",
  "company": "Tam Hanh Cafe",
  "type": "bus",
  "gps_link": "https://goo.gl/maps/86122wbjUQ62",
  "gps_link2": "https://goo.gl/maps/1Sabdd9TVy42",
  "address": "199 Phạm Ngũ Lão, Quận 1, Hồ Chí Minh",
  "address2": "135 Nguyễn Đình Chiểu, Phường Hàm Tiến, Thành phố Phan Thiết, Bình Thuận",
  "phone": "+84 283 920 5653",
  "note": ""
}
```

The issue here is that there is no separate reference table, at least for companies.

If we query the companies and transport types with grouping right now, we get the following picture:&#x20;

| count(\*) | company                  | type  |

| 16        | Superdong                | boat  |
| 10        | The Sinh Tourist         | boat  |



Here, at least SP1, SP2, etc., are not companies at all, but train routes. Meanwhile, SNT2 (Livitrans Express) refers to specific carriage cars operated by Livitrans Express on train SNT2. So the current structure is a complete mess.

However, there is another problem: there are duplicate records.&#x20;

We need to get rid of duplicates already at the import stage. Fortunately, there weren't separate pages for each individual route. By the way, we'll need to create them.&#x20;

Refactor the Transport section

Now many images are very small and of poor quality.

Update images

Currently, this section is static and not supported by facts. It needs to be redone into concepts + facts.

![](/images/resized/middle/cmkppub1z0002mu0z427kxsay/1783849641574-image.png)

Redo the FAQ section

Since the relevance of the answers is directly related to understanding where the user is physically located, this data needs to be passed to the AI agent so that it can select the nearest objects rather than just guessing.&#x20;

Pass the user's current coordinates to the AI chat

At a minimum, the following needs to be done:

1\. Make markers non-clickable when selecting route points (route building). Currently, if you click on a marker in this situation, it redirects to the object page.

2\. When building routes, update the URL so that routes can be shared and browser navigation works.

3\. Add filters for geo-objects (islands, cities, tourist spots, etc.).

4\. Expanding the map should not redirect to a separate map page, but should simply render in the document body and be fixed to full screen.

Refine the map

Out of the box, the AI agent only works with its own concepts. Here, we need to teach it to work with all concepts in general. But first, there are many of them, and second, they have structure and logic. We need to add and develop a skill for working with the knowledge base.

There is another point: it is assumed that the AI agent will play a very important role in the website's operation and assist users in every possible way. At the same不过, if you ask it something, it can output a massive wall of useful information, but still just as plain text (albeit formatted). There are no links, no cross-linking, nothing. At the same time, there is really a lot of information. In the current out-of-the-box mechanics, the agent's chat is displayed in a separate widget. If internal page links are displayed in it, then when clicking on them (when the URL changes), the widget automatically collapses. So we need to figure out how—apparently, we will need to turn the chat interface into the main interface for the user: display all internal links within it, and when clicked, they should open as an object card instead of navigating to a page. In general, it needs to be done in such a way that the user can both continue communicating with the agent and view useful information.

Develop the AI agent

Add Contacts page

We need to study what needs to be done on the website to make GEO work better.

By the way, my website is already partially visible in Alice.

![](</images/resized/middle/cmkppub1z0002mu0z427kxsay/1783901685833-Screenshot From 2026-07-13 01-32-53.png>)

Boost GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

Currently, the website essentially lacks any CTAs, despite having great potential for user scenarios (route planning, at the very least).

We need to add buttons like "Get Directions", "Learn More", etc. to the cards.

Refine CTA and user registration

Currently, the website has mentions of hotels and villas in some older articles, but there is no dedicated section for this.&#x20;

Add "Where to stay" section

Google Analytics, Yandex.Metrica, and similar tools provide a lot of useful information, but:
1\. It is retrospective. That is, you can find out what happened, but you don't really see what is happening right now.
2\. They do not fully tell you how often and which bots visit your site, which pages they view, etc.&#x20;

Now I am going to add new sections and publish a lot of new information. I need to understand how well search engines consume this (how often they visit and where).&#x20;

I recently added [logging for 404 and other errors](https://fi1osof.ru/tasks/cmqiuvvxt000wqq0uh4eptl0c). Now I need to enable logging for all visits in general, so that I can monitor what is happening in real time.&#x20;

Analyze website visits

Right now I have all entities separately (inherited them):&#x20;

* Provinces
* Cities
* Place types (Diving, Waterfall, Pagoda, etc.)
* Places themselves.

This is currently very limited and of little use. We need to figure out which entities to link together, what additional page components to display, and rewrite all the content.

Redesign the website structure, refine it, and rebuild the content

The Map page performs well in search engines and gets good traffic. It makes sense to create separate maps for different provinces and cities to increase the number of targeted landing pages.

Create separate maps for provinces and cities

A new layout has been developed in lovable, we need to redo it.&#x20;

Redesign the website

If a user has built a route on your website, they need a way to actually navigate it in real life. The most valuable features here:

* **Export to .GPX / .KML**: So that the track with all unique points can be loaded in one click into *Maps.me* or *Organic Maps* (the main offline maps for travelers in Vietnam, where the internet frequently drops).
* **Google Maps link generation**: The ability to open the ready-made pool of points directly in the mobile Google app.

Add route exporting

It should be possible to move the object marker to update its data

Add object coordinate editing via drag and drop

It is necessary to add a "What to eat" section and list all the main dishes in it with brief descriptions and photographs. It is advisable to divide it into 3 sections specific to Northern, Southern, and Central Vietnam, and a 4th general one.

Add "What to eat" section

Currently, the coordinates for many cities are inaccurate, and Ha Giang city is even shown somewhere in the territory of China.

Add a resolver for automatic coordinate updates of all geo-objects

There is a separate page with a list of all provinces: [https://vietnamguru.ru/content/reference/aktualniy-spisok-provintsiy-vetnama](https://vietnamguru.ru/content/reference/aktualniy-spisok-provintsiy-vetnama)

Currently, there are several provinces there that are not in our database (pages have not been created for them). We need to add all of them and include links to them.

Along the way, we need to develop a comprehensive province page to display cities, places, etc., within it.

Add missing provinces

It is advisable to be able to show the full map with all provinces and cities at once (their borders)

Draw the borders of individual provinces and cities on the map

Add homestay page

At a minimum, we need:

* Want to visit / Visited
* Like / Dislike, etc.

Directly, the tags will only be visible to the user themselves and their followers. By the way, this can be a great reason to build networks. A user who travels a lot can add their own places, create and share routes, and be active. A follower gets the public experience of a specific person.

We need to work on individual user tags

Надо чтобы агенту можно было сказать какие картинки нужны, а он их откуда-то дергал, а не генерировал сам.&#x20;

Добавить агенту функционал поиска картинок из внешних источников

We have veeeeery many data types and icons in our project. We need to take ComfyUI and generate all the icons (there are hundreds of them).

Generate icons

### Hong Thu's links are mixed up

In Hong Thu's card, the link labeled Booking.com actually leads to Agoda, and the link labeled Tripadvisor leads to Hotwire. This is especially dangerous in a section built on trust and verified information.

Mismatch between the map and the stated ten locations

The map visually marks eight locations:

* Quan Ba;
* Ham Yen;
* Ban Gioc;
* Cao Bang city;
* Ba Be;
* Bac Kan city;
* Lang Son;
* Thai Nguyen.

Meanwhile, the catalog lists ten locations: Bao Lac town and Cửa khẩu Tà Lùng are additional. Because of this, the map currently looks more like an artistic illustration of the network than an accurate representation of the list.

### Grammar

Currently written:

> 24 размещений

Should be:

> **24 размещения**

### Linguistic inconsistency

On the Russian page, the location names look like this:

* Quan Ba town;
* Ham Yen;
* Bao Lac town;
* Ban Gioc waterfall;
* Ba Be lake;
* Cao Bang city.

It is better to choose a uniform format:

> Куанба · Quản Bạ
> Хамйен · Hàm Yên
> Баолак · Bảo Lạc
> Водопад Банзёк · Thác Bản Giốc
> Озеро Ба-Бе · Hồ Ba Bể

This is both helpful for Russian-speaking tourists and preserves the name they can show to a driver or paste into a map.

Fix the Homestays section

There are about 700 old objects in the database. First, they have very simple styling. Second, there is very little content. Third, the coordinates are often incorrect. Fourth, there is no internal linking.&#x20;

Example:

![](/images/resized/middle/cmkppub1z0002mu0z427kxsay/1785182307373-image.png)



We need to improve the templating and system as was done in the Where to stay section.&#x20;

As a result, we should get all these objects with new styling, supplementary information, and internal linking. The cost of a single card should not exceed 3 rubles, meaning the total expenditure should not exceed 2000 rubles (excluding programming costs).

Update old tourist spot cards

Need to add Storybook and different states: read-only and editable.&#x20;

Develop the Route page

There were already some old posts there, but overall they are of very low quality.&#x20;

We now need to implement new post templates and publish at least a couple of posts on various topics every day. It is especially important to break old stereotypes about Vietnam, of which there are very many on the internet. Vietnam may have been the way it is described in the past, but it has changed a lot in recent years.&#x20;
