The proof is in the partnerships.

We could tell you we're great. Or we could show you what happens when organizations trust us with their growth.

GEO Results

350,000+ AI Citations in a Single Quarter.

While most agencies are still figuring out what GEO means, Nimbletoad built a full generative engine optimization strategy into EMDR Institute's marketing program. The results demonstrate why this matters.

351,909
Total AI citations in 105 days (Bing & Microsoft Copilot)

Total AI referral sessions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude

ChatGPT session growth year-over-year (2,971 sessions)

When a therapist asks ChatGPT "Where can I get certified in EMDR?" EMDR Institute's content is cited as the authoritative source. Over 350,000 times in a single quarter.

These numbers will only grow. AI-powered search is accelerating, and the organizations that establish authority now will be the ones AI systems continue to recommend. Nimbletoad built this strategy before most agencies knew what GEO was.

Featured Case Study

Real Estate Technology | Technical SEO, GEO & AI-Ready Platform Engineering

Arrivva

Why This Case Study Matters

Arrivva is a flat-fee real estate brokerage, not a healthcare organization. So why is it here? Because the GEO and technical SEO expertise Nimbletoad brought to this project is exactly the same expertise we bring to every client: building platforms that are understood by both humans and AI systems. The work we did for Arrivva demonstrates our technical depth in ways that directly translate to how we build LMS platforms, run GEO strategies for healthcare organizations, and engineer AI-citation-ready content systems for training institutes.

The Challenge

Most real estate websites treat IDX listings as disposable content, rendered for humans, opaque to machines, and nearly indistinguishable from competitors. Arrivva's entire business model depends on buyer rebate transparency, but search engines and AI assistants couldn't reliably understand or surface that value proposition.

What We Built

Instead of starting with SEO keywords or page templates, Nimbletoad worked backward from how modern discovery actually works: Google's entity-based indexing, AI Overviews and answer engines, LLM citation behavior, and structured reasoning over prices and constraints.

Entity-Correct ArchitectureEvery listing treated as a first-class entity with stable references, canonical URLs, and clean separation of listing, broker, and platform identity.
Rebates as Structured DataRebates engineered as explicit financial objects with real numeric ranges, currency consistency, and machine-readable legal disclaimers.
Schema That Survives ValidationZero schema errors, only acceptable warnings. No fabricated measurements, no misleading claims. AI systems weight trust over cleverness.
GEO & AI DiscoveryPositioned for AI Overviews, conversational property discovery, and structured comparison against traditional brokers.

The Result

Arrivva is no longer just another IDX site. It's an understandable real estate system. When AI systems answer "How does Arrivva work?" or "What buyer rebates are available?" they have clean, authoritative, structured data to pull from. The platform represents a defensible technical moat that competitors cannot replicate with off-the-shelf plugins.
