KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert.

NATIONWIDE, December 12, 2025 KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Brooke Pfautz, CEO and Founder of Vintory, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. Pfautz will contribute data-driven analysis on vacation rental management, property technology innovation, and industry consolidation trends.

KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.

Brooke Pfautz brings unparalleled expertise to the vacation rental management sector, having helped over 950 companies scale their portfolios through strategic growth initiatives. As founder of both Vintory and Comparent, Pfautz has established herself as a leading voice on data-driven property acquisition, AI integration in hospitality operations, and market consolidation dynamics. Her work encompasses the largest database of vacation rental homeowners globally and the industry’s first comprehensive ranking system through the Comparent 100.

With 18 years of experience in the short-term rental industry, Pfautz successfully scaled Vantage Realty to over 500 properties before its acquisition. She has since focused on revolutionizing how professional vacation rental managers approach growth through Vintory’s data and marketing platform, which aggregates information from over 10 sources to create what she calls “stacked data architecture” — a proprietary approach that provides unprecedented accuracy in homeowner targeting.

Pfautz’s insights on artificial intelligence adoption have positioned her as a forward-thinking industry authority. She advocates that property managers not implementing AI-native tools by 2026 risk competitive obsolescence, emphasizing that data capture — particularly call recordings and guest communications — represents the critical intellectual property that will differentiate winners in an increasingly AI-driven marketplace.

“I’m honored to be selected as a KeyCrew Verified Expert,” said Brooke Pfautz. “The vacation rental management industry is at a pivotal moment where data quality and AI adoption will separate thriving companies from those left behind. Having helped nearly 1,000 companies with their growth strategies, I’ve seen firsthand how the right data and technology stack can transform a mid-sized operator into a market leader. I’m excited to share insights that help property managers navigate consolidation pressures, leverage their unique data assets, and position themselves strategically whether they’re scaling independently or preparing for acquisition.”

Pfautz’s areas of expertise include:

  • Vacation Rental Management Growth Strategies — Proven frameworks for inventory acquisition and scaling beyond 10 million in gross bookings
  • Property Technology & AI Integration — Strategic guidance on AI-native tools, data architecture, and competitive positioning
  • Market Consolidation & M&A Dynamics — Insights on institutional capital trends, acquisition metrics, and positioning for exit
  • Homeowner Data & Marketing Analytics — Expertise in multi-source data aggregation, targeting precision, and marketing ROI optimization

Sweden, 13th Dec 2025 – KLOTA AB, a Sweden-based digital performance and SEO consultancy, has announced the launch of two new free analysis tools designed specifically for serious e-commerce companies seeking stronger visibility, better performance, and clearer insights across search engines and AI-driven platforms. The newly released tools—the AI Visibility Analyzer and the Shopping Feed Analyzer—are currently available as free BETA services and deliver actionable results within approximately 10 minutes via email.

As search behavior rapidly evolves, e-commerce brands are no longer competing only for traditional Google rankings. Increasingly, consumers are discovering products and brands through AI-powered assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. KLOTA’s new tools are built to address this shift, providing practical diagnostics that help online retailers understand where they stand and what to fix.

The AI Visibility Analyzer focuses on how well a website is seen, accessed, and understood by modern AI search engines and large language models. The tool evaluates critical factors such as AI-bot accessibility (including robots.txt and llms.txt), content clarity and readability, structured data, and core technical SEO elements. Based on this analysis, it generates an easy-to-understand AI Visibility Score ranging from 0 to 100, along with clear, prioritized recommendations that highlight the most impactful improvements.

“This is about helping companies prepare for the next generation of search,” said Anders Karlsson, Contact at KLOTA AB. “Many e-commerce brands are still optimizing only for classic search results, while AI assistants are already shaping how users discover information and products. The AI Visibility Analyzer makes this new landscape measurable and actionable.”

The second tool, the Shopping Feed Analyzer (Google Shopping Feed Analyzer ), is designed for e-commerce businesses actively running Google Shopping and Performance Max (PMax) campaigns. Poor feed quality is a common reason for disapproved products, limited reach, and underperforming ads. KLOTA’s tool performs an automated quality audit of a Google Shopping product feed , reviewing required attributes, product titles and descriptions, pricing accuracy, images, Google product categories, and overall compliance with Google’s specifications.

After the audit, users receive a detailed PDF report that includes an executive summary and a prioritized action list. This enables marketing and e-commerce teams to quickly identify errors, resolve disapprovals, and systematically improve feed quality for better campaign performance.

“Most feed issues are not strategic—they’re technical and fixable,” Karlsson added. “The challenge is knowing exactly where the problems are and what to address first. The Shopping Feed Analyzer removes that guesswork and gives teams a clear roadmap.”

Both tools are offered as free BETA services, reflecting KLOTA’s commitment to sharing expertise and helping e-commerce brands adapt to a more complex digital ecosystem. Once a website URL or product feed is submitted, the analysis is processed automatically and sent by email in about 10 minutes, making the tools accessible even for busy teams with limited technical resources.

While some information within the tools may be presented in English, the insights are designed to be universally applicable for international e-commerce brands aiming to compete more effectively in search, paid media, and AI-driven discovery.

With the launch of these tools, KLOTA reinforces its position as a forward-looking partner for e-commerce growth—bridging traditional SEO, paid shopping performance, and the emerging world of AI visibility.

Harare, Zimbabwe, 12th Dec 2025 – Conservation Travel Africa is celebrating the continued growth and success of its ethical Primate Volunteer Program in Zimbabwe, with a particular rise in mature and senior volunteers seeking meaningful, hands-on conservation experiences. The programme—based at one of Zimbabwe’s most respected wildlife sanctuaries—offers volunteers of all ages the opportunity to work closely with rescued and orphaned primates, contributing directly to long-term rehabilitation and welfare.

The sanctuary provides a safe haven for primates affected by the illegal pet trade, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. Volunteers play a vital role in supporting daily care, enrichment, enclosure management, and behavioural observation, all within a highly ethical framework that prioritises animal wellbeing.

A Welcoming Space for Mature Volunteers

Conservation Travel Africa continues to see increasing numbers of volunteers aged 50+ choosing its projects, drawn by supportive environments, comfortable accommodations, and opportunities to contribute meaningfully to conservation while experiencing Africa in an authentic and engaging way.

Among the most popular programmes for mature volunteers is the Primate Conservation Program in Zimbabwe—an intimate, hands-on experience ideal for those seeking a small, friendly sanctuary environment. Volunteers work alongside dedicated local staff, gaining insight into the daily realities of wildlife rescue while building strong connections within the team.

Other Mature-Friendly Volunteer Opportunities

Beyond primate care, Conservation Travel Africa offers a wide range of projects designed to suit different interests, skill levels, and comfort preferences:

  • Community Outreach – Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe: Very small group sizes create a personalised and flexible volunteering experience. Project managers tailor activities according to community needs and the skills volunteers bring.
     
  • Big 5 National Parks, Zimbabwe: Run by an experienced couple in their 60s, this field assistant role allows volunteers to shadow seasoned conservationists as they carry out real-time wildlife monitoring and management across major parks.
     
  • Rhino & Elephant Program, Zimbabwe: With structured days, a family-style environment, and comfortable accommodation, this programme is ideal for first-time older volunteers seeking a supportive and familiar setting.
     
  • Endangered Wildlife Monitoring, South Africa: Popular with travellers who have previously been on safari, this research-focused programme offers in-depth exposure to conservation management in a vast protected area.
     
  • Humpback Whale Expedition, Mozambique: A unique marine project that requires no diving experience. Volunteers swim with and monitor whales while supporting ongoing scientific research, all from comfortable accommodation in a remote coastal setting.
     
  • Environmental Conservation, Malawi: Perfect for bird enthusiasts, this programme blends community engagement with river-based conservation work, exceptional birding, and a camping weekend in Majete Wildlife Reserve.
     

“We’re seeing a real shift in the way people want to travel later in life,” said Jane Palmer, Marketing Manager at Conservation Travel Africa. “Around 30% of our volunteers are over 50, and many are now boldly embarking on their first solo adventure. Programs like our Primate Conservation Project give mature volunteers a chance to reconnect with nature, make a meaningful impact, and experience Africa in a truly hands-on way.”

Ethical, Impactful Volunteering

Conservation Travel Africa remains committed to responsible wildlife experiences. All projects are operated in partnership with leading African sanctuaries, ensuring the highest standards of animal welfare. Unlike exploitative wildlife tourism, these programmes are non-commercial, with no breeding, performance, or hands-on activities that compromise animal wellbeing.

How to Join

Limited-time savings are available for volunteers joining the Primate Conservation Program in 2025, offering an added incentive for those ready to take the next step in their conservation journey. No prior experience is required—only enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a desire to contribute to meaningful wildlife protection.

Street lamps are wrapped in gold foil, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon and mulled wine. The most touching aspects of December are perhaps these softly glowing everyday moments—and every seasonal wardrobe should include a red plaid flannel shirt steeped in memories.It evokes images of wool blankets stacked by the fireplace, smoke rising from a cabin after a snowfall, and the broad-shouldered silhouette of a father decorating the Christmas tree in an old shirt. The classic red plaid pattern seems to carry the warmth and sounds of the holidays, instantly transporting one back to those American holiday scenes filled with love.

American festive attire doesn’t have to be expensive.

When it comes to the origins of red plaid shirts, Filson is undoubtedly a pioneering representative. But classic style is never exclusive to high prices. Today, COOFANDY weaves this American festive spirit into a plush, affordably priced flannel shirt. The classic red-and-black plaid, crafted from a cotton blend, retains a touch of rugged texture while being gentle on the skin. You can casually roll up the sleeves to wrap gifts under the Christmas tree or layer it under a thick coat on a chilly morning, letting the plaid collar peek out subtly.Natural styling scenarios emerge effortlessly: pair it with straight-leg jeans and a pair of well-worn work boots, as if you’ve just returned from a winter walk in the woods; or tuck a pinecone or eucalyptus leaf into the shirt pocket to instantly brighten up your outfit. It captures the winter wardrobe vibes from Friends episodes and resembles the relaxed, familiar looks found in every American family’s Christmas photo album.

Layering Adds Depth to Festive Style

For a touch of scholarly refinement, try layering a diamond-patterned knit vest over the shirt. This classic Ivy League look features a V-neck that perfectly reveals the plaid collar and hem, adding both layers and a sense of festive ritual—as if you’re ready to unwrap gifts, sing carols, and share a toast with long-lost family members.

This Christmas, Dress in Classic Style, Warm a Season of Hearts
The resurgence of American outdoor traditions isn’t just about trends; it’s about how these timeless pieces resonate with everyday life, especially during seasons like Christmas that call for warmth and ritual. A simple red plaid shirt can accompany you while baking gingerbread cookies, decorating the Christmas tree, or cozying up on the couch to watch old movies.

There’s no need to chase after expensive heritage brands; affordability can still deliver classic American festive vibes. COOFANDY’s Red Plaid Series has prepared your entire holiday wardrobe. Special Christmas discounts are underway, with select styles up to 50% off. Treat yourself to some warmth or choose a thoughtful gift for someone special.Welcome to the COOFANDY flagship store or Amazon shop to take home your Christmas warmth.
