Built solo,
for local pros.
A print, TV, and radio journalist, then editor-in-chief, Florin Livada became a digital entrepreneur. His experience rests on one consistent standard: seek the facts, verify the sources, clarify what matters, and make it useful to an audience.
That method now guides Livada.io: building tools that help businesses be better understood, better found on Google, and more easily identified by AI engines.
Why Livada.io exists.
For years, Florin built and maintained WordPress sites for hotels, campsites, spas, and businesses in his region. With every project, the same observation: Yoast Premium at €99/year per site, add-ons at €79 each, heavy plugins that tank Core Web Vitals, and zero integration built for the generative AI transforming SEO in 2026.
So he built his own tools. First for his own sites. Then for his clients. Today, those tools are becoming Livada.io — a suite of WordPress plugins built for professionals who have better things to do than click through 4 different plugins.
The key difference: Florin knows your business. 20 years in tourism, an intimate knowledge of the Verdon region, and technical mastery of digital. That rare combination is what large agencies can't offer.
A unique journey.
From the press to digital, by way of tourism — each step built Livada.io's expertise.
Journalism, media & editorial leadership
Print, TV, radio, and editor-in-chief roles: investigate, verify, prioritize, and explain clearly. These reflexes are now a working method for SEO, content, and AI visibility.
Immersion in tourism
Years at the heart of the tourism industry — accommodations, campsites, hotels. An intimate understanding of seasonal challenges, clientele, and local competition.
Digital & technical shift
Progressive mastery of SEO, digital marketing, web development, and IT. Technical skills grounded in real-world, on-the-ground experience.
Livada — Castellane

Livada.io — GEO & AI pioneer
Founding of Livada.io: a suite of WordPress plugins and SaaS tools for SEO, review management, and GDPR compliance. Mastery of GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — a step ahead.
This journey continues today out in the field, with the consulting practice Livada.fr.
6 non-negotiable principles.
Not just another web vendor. A local partner who understands your business.
Readable & open code
GPL, no obfuscation. You can modify, extend, and understand it. Not a proprietary black box with a forced subscription.
On-the-ground proximity
Rooted in a demanding tourism region, we know the players and the seasonal challenges. Not a remote vendor — a responsive local partner.
Performance > features
14 features that actually work, rather than 50 features to pad out a sales page. Every tool is tested in production on our own sites.
AI-native, not AI-bolt-on
AI is in the product's DNA from the outset. GEO, AI engines, automated review responses — not modules bolted on as an afterthought.
Total transparency
Clear pricing, simple explanations, zero unnecessary jargon. You know what you're paying for and why. No aggressive upsells or "fake premium."
Proven results
#1 on Google for our own local search queries. Proof by example before we do it for you. Our tools run in production on 5 active sites.
Not an agency. Not an anonymous SaaS.
Most web agencies and SaaS companies (Yoast, MARA, Semrush...) sell tools without ever having set foot in a campsite or a hotel. They don't understand seasonal challenges, tourist clientele, or the reality on the ground.
Livada.io is the opposite:
In production, not in demo.
Livada.io runs on real sites, with real clients:
