She Ranked #1 on Google Using AI

How May Ahn Ranked #1 on Google While on a Cruise — Thanks to AI

Let’s be honest, when was the last time you took a real vacation?

Not a “laptop by the pool” kind of break. A real vacation, where your phone stays silent, your emails handle themselves, and your business keeps growing while you're away.

That’s exactly what happened to Pasadena realtor May Ahn.

She didn’t just unplug, she leveled up.

While she was sailing on a cruise ship with zero work obligations, her blog post climbed to the #1 spot on Google for a highly searched question in her market:

“What is the best time to sell a home in Pasadena 2025?”

And she didn’t write a single word of it herself.

‍

How AI Helped Her Stay Visible

Before using AI, May’s marketing had to be squeezed in between appointments, client calls, and family time. Like many top agents, she built her business on trust and referrals, but knew that to grow in today’s market, a strong online presence was essential.

That changed when she plugged into the A.I. Certified Marketing Assistant system, a program that gives solo agents like May a trained marketing professional to help them market more consistently, with less effort.

“I was on a cruise for a week and didn’t do any work,” May said.
“My assistant was posting every day. Nobody even knew I was gone except my team.”

Her blog didn’t just survive while she was away. It dominated.

📸 Proof It Works. Here’s the Screenshot

May’s blog, titled "What is the Best Time to Sell a Home in Pasadena 2025?", didn’t just appear on Google, it showed up in AI search results as well.

For the exact search phrase, her article ranked right at the top, even outranking major sites like Realtor.com.

👉 This proves her content isn’t only discoverable by traditional search engines but also prioritized in AI-powered results doubling her visibility and authority.

What Did Her Marketing Assistant Actually Do?

This wasn’t luck. It was a strategy.

Here’s how May’s AI Certified Marketing Assistant helped her win search all while she was off the grid:

  • Identified a high-volume keyword based on real search behavior
  • Used ChatGPT to draft a blog post which is not only SEO-optimized but AEO, and GEO-optimized too.
  • Scheduled it to post during her vacation

As Nick Krem often says:

“It’s not you versus AI. It’s you versus the exponential version of yourself using AI.”

‍

20+ Hours a Week Back Without Losing Her Voice

Before this shift, May spent 20–30 hours a week trying to manage marketing herself.

Now?

  • Instagram keeps posting without her
  • Blogs go live like clockwork
  • Her reels get comments from other agents and local followers
  • Her content still feels like her
“My assistant made me look so good,” May said.“But it still feels like me. That’s the best part.”

This is what modern real estate marketing looks like. No more scrambling. No more guessing. Just results.
