Nicolo Grossi

Hey, I’m Nicolo Grossi, founder of UpbeatSEO and an SEO and content strategy expert fluent in English, Italian, and French.

For more than 12 years, I led SEO and content across marketplaces, hotel brands, ski travel, and fintech, building search visibility and systems that scaled reliably. Eventually, I stepped out of the corporate world to focus on what I care about most: helping teams build evergreen, AI-ready growth engines without hiring large SEO teams or wasting months on guesswork.

Today, I specialise in the intersection of SEO, content strategy, and AI frameworks, where the highest leverage lives. My work integrates:

  • Technical SEO foundations to keep your website fast, structured, and crawlable
  • On-page and entity optimisation designed for AI Overviews and answer engines
  • Search-aligned content strategy that prioritises rankings, intent, and conversions
  • AI-assisted workflows that streamline production without sacrificing quality
  • Evergreen system design. Content that compounds instead of decaying

Instead of generic audits or one-off blog posts, I build repeatable SEO and content systems that scale organic traffic, generate pipeline, and reduce operational overhead.

Whether you’re a startup founder with limited resources, a marketing director who needs a plug-and-play content engine, or a digital VP looking for enterprise-grade search stability in the age of AI, my goal is always the same:

👉 Make your brand discoverable, trusted, and chosen. Not just found. Not just clicked. Chosen.

If you want a website that performs reliably, and content that ranks, converts, and compounds, this is what I do best.

What I Do

Market mapping & Topic clustering

I map your entire search landscape into entity-based topic clusters so we know exactly which evergreen content assets to prioritise for non-branded, high-intent visibility. This forms the foundation of your long-term growth system.

Evergreen content strategy & Channel planning

I define your core message, conversion paths, and the most impactful channels (blog, guides, LinkedIn, Instagram) so every asset has a clear purpose, aligns with search demand, and contributes to pipeline, not just activity.

AI-Powered content workflows

I design AI-assisted workflows, templates, and briefs that allow your team to produce high-quality, on-brand content at scale: consistently, efficiently, and without adding headcount. This removes production bottlenecks and accelerates output.

Semantic SEO & AI overview optimization

I optimize your content and website to win across modern search experiences: structured data, internal linking frameworks, entity optimization, SERP pattern targeting, and AI Overview visibility. This makes your content discoverable, trusted, and chosen.
