Nanotronics — vs. bigger rivals

How I took Ultimate Food Tours from launch to acquisition in under three years.

The problem

I was a new food tour and cooking class company with no online presence, in one of the world’s most crowded markets. I needed to get exposure online, but traditional SEO was very disadvantageous to new entrants, so I had to find another way. I ended up investing in GEO, and these are the results I got.

The solution
  • Built a GEO strategy off previous learnings as soon as ChatGPT launched
  • Restructured my website for AI citation extractability
  • Built entity authority through press and third-party citations
  • Implemented multi-engine tracking

Nanotronics couldn’t beat their competitors using traditional marketing tools. My GEO strategy launched them to the top.

The problem

Nanotronics is an optical inspection company whose tools are used in semiconductor manufacturing. When engineers searched for which tools to use, their competitors always showed up above them — in fact, they were last in the space.

The solution
  • Found citable keywords we could win
  • Found weaknesses in our competitors’ keywords
  • Won them
  • Set up monthly tracking to optimize and grow citations
The results

in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for target categories

We restructured their website to optimize for AI citations. They now rank above far bigger rivals in AI search, even while outside the top 10 in traditional search.

We built La Dolce Guida to be found by AI on day one of launch.

The problem

La Dolce Guida launched as a brand-new culinary tour company in Italy with no web presence — a new company running vintage electric Fiat 500s through Lake Como’s hidden corners, charming but unknown online.

The solution
  • GEO-first site architecture from day one
  • Definitional content built for citation
  • Structured for international travelers asking ChatGPT for Lake Como tours
