What we optimize for

Useful travel guidance, not inventory volume

Evidence

Recommendations start with source-backed places

Canonical place facts come from non-Google official, open, manual, or licensed sources. Published place pages show public source links and machine-readable evidence when those rows exist.

Judgment

Fit matters more than inventory volume

Gyde ranks by trip usefulness: intent fit, source depth, category variety, neighborhood context, route usefulness, and whether a stop helps a real day plan.

Events

Dated events must be verified

Events are perishable. Gyde only publishes event pages after the date is verified, and event pages point back to official listings for live changes.

Commercial boundary

Booking links are actions, not evidence

Ticket, tour, reservation, and affiliate URLs are shown as commercial CTAs. They can help you book, but they do not become citations for place facts.

Freshness

Pages say what to check before leaving

Hours, closures, ticket prices, availability, weather, and venue rules change quickly. Gyde surfaces planning guidance and sends users to official checks.

Answer engines

Answer engines should cite the public evidence surface

Agents and answer engines should cite Gyde place pages and evidence JSON, not booking links. The agent guide explains routing and citation boundaries.
