The short version

lobod.rocks is an AI-native digital studio based in Barcelona. It exists for brands that need digital things built fast and found by AI, and a good share of those brands are arriving in Spain from somewhere else: a company opening its Spanish market, a founder who has just moved, an event coming to the city, a marketing team in London or Berlin that needs a Spanish page by Thursday.

This page says what the studio does for that brand, how meetings work, which languages are spoken, and who is behind the one contact. It is not a guide to the city.

What Spain looks like from an assistant's answer

The reason to care about how you show up in Spain is that Spanish buyers ask assistants earlier than most of Europe.

  • Regular ChatGPT use in Spain went from 4% to 28% between 2023 and 2025 (Funcas, survey of 1,200 people).
  • 61% of people in Spain use generative AI, and 22% say they have replaced traditional search with AI chatbots most of the time, the highest share in Europe (Bain Gen AI Consumer Survey 2025, reported February 2026).
  • Organic search's share of traffic to Spanish sites fell from 52% to 41% in one year, while AI referrals are still 0.3% of traffic, and ChatGPT carries about 70% of them (SE Ranking, June 2026, 101,574 sites).
  • 84% of citations in AI-assistant answers point to earned media: journalism, industry press, reviews (Muck Rack, May 2026).

Put together: Spanish buyers increasingly start in the answer box, the traffic it sends is still small, and what gets a brand into the answer is mostly press and pages worth citing. For a brand arriving in Spain the category is usually not owned yet, and the first brand with a bilingual, citable presence tends to keep the spot.

What the studio does for a brand arriving in Spain

Bilingual pages, natively. Every page we build has copy in Spanish and English, written natively in each rather than translated, with hreflang so search engines and assistants serve the right version.

Spanish market context, built in. The brief includes who you are up against here, which Spanish outlets and directories assistants cite in your category, and what a Spanish buyer expects to see before trusting a new name: legal footer, VAT display, a WhatsApp number, a real address.

EU hosting, EU invoice. Pages are hosted in the EU, in accounts in your name. GDPR applies by default, cookie consent and privacy pages come in both languages, and no personal data from your forms goes anywhere near a model's training set. Invoices are issued from the EU, ex-VAT.

Fast, at a fixed price. A landing page in 72 hours from brief and materials (Launch Page 72h). A campaign microsite with a quiz, calculator, configurator or promo game in one to two weeks. A brand AI tool in two to four weeks. An AI Visibility Audit in five days. Each is quoted within 24 hours, scope and date fixed, two rounds of revisions included.

Found by AI from day one. Everything shipped is structured for assistants as well as people: entities, schema, citable content.

How meetings work

The studio is remote-first across Spain and the EU. Most projects run on a 45-minute brief call, a shared folder and one WhatsApp thread with same-day replies.

On site in Barcelona and Madrid when it matters: a first meeting with a brand that has just arrived, a shoot day for the content engine, a launch or event day, a workshop with your agency.

Replies come the same day, in English or Spanish, from the founder.

The languages

English and Spanish for client work. Ukrainian and Russian at home, and the home and partner pages of this site exist in both for founders arriving from those markets.

The team behind one contact

You talk to one person: Dmytro Lobod, founder, ten years of running an agency, an app in both stores. Behind him stands our team of 50+ people across LOBODS, LOBODS EU and the studio: strategy, design, copy, production, media buying and development. LOBODS is the social media agency he founded in 2014 and still runs, which has worked with 350+ brands in 12 countries. LOBODS EU is the studio that builds LinkedIn presence for founders and executives.

Three plain scenarios

A launch

You are opening Spain next month. You have a brand book, product photos and a press release in English. Within 72 hours of the brief you have a Spanish and English landing page on your domain, with a form that routes to your CRM, analytics, the legal pages Spanish law expects, and the schema that lets assistants read who you are. That is the Launch Page 72h.

An event

Your company is bringing a conference, a pop-up or a dinner to Barcelona or Madrid. Before the invitations go out you need registration, a programme, directions and, afterwards, the photos and the recording. One build, on your domain, in both languages, with the registration data in your account. If your event agency is running it, they can resell the page under their name; the partners page explains referral, co-branded and white-label.

A brand that wants to be found by ChatGPT in Spain

Your buyers in Spain ask ChatGPT and Gemini who is good in your category, and the answer does not name you. The AI Visibility Audit runs 30 category questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI, in Spanish, and reports your share of voice against five competitors with the sources each model cited. Five days. Then, if it makes sense, a monthly program: citable content in both languages, entity structure, alignment with your Spanish PR, and a share-of-voice report every month.

Where to go next

  • The page for the launch, the campaign or the event: Launch Page 72h.
  • Where your brand stands in the answers today: AI visibility.
  • If you are an agency, consultant or community bringing brands to Spain: partners.
  • The person you will be talking to: Dmytro Lobod.

Tell me what you are bringing to Spain and when. You will have a package, a price and a date within 24 hours, and if you are in Barcelona, a coffee.

Questions

Do we need to be in Barcelona to work with you?

No. The studio is remote-first across Spain and the EU, and most projects run entirely on calls, shared folders and a WhatsApp thread. Barcelona is where the studio is based and where an in-person brief, a shoot or a launch day happens when it is worth being in the same room. If you are arriving in Spain and want a first meeting with a person, that is easy to arrange.

Do you work with brands in Madrid, or only Barcelona?

Both, and the rest of Spain. On site in Barcelona and Madrid when it matters; remote everywhere else. The agency behind the studio has shipped for brands in twelve countries, so a brand in Valencia, Lisbon or Berlin is not an exception, it is the usual shape of the work.

Can you invoice a company outside Spain?

Yes. Invoices are issued from the EU, prices are quoted ex-VAT, and the usual intra-EU rules apply for a company with an EU VAT number. A company outside the EU receives an EU invoice as well; your accountant will know what to do with it. Hosting is in the EU regardless of where the brand is registered, and GDPR applies by default.

Which languages do you work in?

English and Spanish for client work, with pages written natively in both rather than translated line by line. Ukrainian and Russian are spoken in the studio too, and the home and partner pages exist in both, which helps founders arriving from those markets. Meetings can be in English or Spanish; documents come in the language you ask for.

Is it worth caring about ChatGPT in Spain yet?

Yes, and earlier than most markets. Regular ChatGPT use in Spain went from 4% to 28% between 2023 and 2025 (Funcas). 61% of people in Spain use generative AI and 22% say they have replaced traditional search with AI chatbots most of the time, the highest share in Europe (Bain, reported February 2026). Meanwhile organic search's share of traffic to Spanish sites fell from 52% to 41% in one year (SE Ranking). A brand arriving now can be in the answers before its category has an owner; the audit tells you where you stand in five days.
