Case Study: How Greystar Achieved 43% Organic Growth with CMO.so’s Automated SEO

The Greystar Challenge

Greystar is the largest property management firm in the US. Over \$79 billion in assets under management. Impressive, but organic visibility? Not quite. They faced stiff competition from giant rental aggregators. Their local pages ranked low. Paid ads drained budget. They needed a scalable SEO solution.

Enter From The Future, a Philly-based agency. They built a proprietary content engine, mixed AI with editors, and pumped out 300 pages in 13 weeks. The result? 43% month-on-month organic growth. 69% more clicks. Over 1,300 new first-page keyword rankings. Impressive. Yet—behind the scenes—this approach has limits.

The “From The Future” Approach

From The Future’s programme had three pillars:

• AI-powered drafting. Research to first draft in minutes.
• Editorial polish. Human editors refined tone, accuracy and local flair.
• Local landing pages. 120 city-level or neighbourhood-level pages in 8 weeks.

Their mantra: blend automation with oversight. And it worked. But there’s a catch.

Strengths

• Rapid scale: 300 pages published in 13 weeks.
• Strong local focus: hyper-targeted neighbourhood content.
• Visible results: 43% monthly growth in organic sessions.

Limitations

• High touch points: human editors needed for quality control.
• Costly operation: expert teams come at a price.
• Complex workflow: AI draft + editorial review = two step process.
• Not fully no-code: relies on integrations between tools and people.

In short, the programme proved AI-driven SEO can deliver. But it left SMEs wanting a simpler, budget-friendly route.
