Vail
Priority opportunity: AEO
Vail's lowest engine is AEO at 48 — a 52-point gap to a perfect score. That is where citability is won or lost first.
Summary
Vail Mountain (vail.com) holds strong entity-layer foundations — a confirmed standalone Wikipedia article, a matching Wikidata record (Q14685139), dense named-outlet editorial coverage, and a TripAdvisor listing — but its structural readiness is constrained by unconfirmed on-site schema markup beyond basic Organization, a name-collision risk between the ski resort and the geographic 'Vail Mountain' Wikidata entry (Q31610809), and a content architecture on vail.com that skews toward transactional booking flows rather than answer-first informational pages that serve category-level queries. The brand's biggest verifiable gap is the absence of confirmed type-appropriate structured data (Event, LocalBusiness, HowTo) across its seasonal content pages, leaving machine-readable signals thin precisely when the West Lionshead development and 2026/27 pass-sales recovery narrative most need structured amplification.
The gap, closed.
