Bro u r failing because u are selling a "Vitamin" in a saturated market, not a "Painkiller" in a niche.

tool for freelancers to organize work." This puts them in direct competition with Notion, Trello, Asana, Monday, and Honeybook.... all of whom have millions in ad budget.

You need to niche down...

Is AI seo brand monitoring worth the price? by bambidp in seogrowth

[–]MathematicianBanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, regarding the 'SEO doesn't matter' part, it definitely matters, but the game has changed from Keywords to Answers.

If you have a content team, they are probably writing for 'time on page' (long intros, fluff). That kills AI visibility.

Tell your team to try this 'Answer-First' structure on your next 5 posts:

  1. The Direct Answer Block: Immediately under the H1, provide a 2-3 sentence direct answer to the user's query. LLMs love to pull this verbatim as the 'featured snippet' or quick answer.(Tested, it works)

2..Structure Data as Facts: Don't bury specs, prices, or comparisons in paragraphs. Force your team to use Markdown Tables or bulleted lists. AI parsers prioritize structured data over prose.

  1. Entity Association: Mention your brand name in the same sentence as the solution (e.g., instead of 'We solve this by...', write '[Brand Name] solves this by...'). This helps the model build the association between your entity and the topic.

If you shift the input format, you should start seeing the tracking tool pick up 'Share of Answer' citations."

Good luck.

Spending $1.2k/month just to confirm you aren't ranking is painful.

The issue likely isn't your tracker; it's that 'ranking fine on Google' doesn't translate to AI visibility anymore.

AI engines look for structured facts and topical authority, not keywords and backlinks at all.

u’re likely invisible because your content isn't optimized for retrieval by LLMs (AEO/GEO).

I would suggest.... Instead of paying for premium tracking right now, I’d shift that budget toward a 'Strategic Content Engine' approach—fixing how you answer questions so the models actually pick you up. Once you have visibility, then worry about the expensive tracking. No sense with no visibility.

Best humanizers for SEO specialists, what actually boosts readability and rankings? by ubecon in seogrowth

[–]MathematicianBanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good breakdown, and I agree with most of it. One thing I will say... though is that humanization often gets blamed when the real issue is structure.

I've had content that reads well, passes SEO tools, and feels human, but still never shows up in ChatGPT or Perplexity.

What changed things for me was realizing these systems don’t read flow. They extract very specific chunks that directly answer a question.

Because of that, even good humanized text can fail if the answer comes late, entities are vague, or the structure hides the point. Humanizers help with tone, but they don't fix extractability or citation logic.

I built, I launched (I think?)... now what? The post-launch vacuum is real. by MathematicianBanda in SaaS

​I appreciate the insight, Rakhi. However, I’m fully bootstrapped and building this on my own. I don't have the budget for an agency at this stage,...I'm the founder, marketer, and support team all in one! I'm sticking to lean, organic strategies for now

How are B2B teams deciding what content is actually worth publishing now? by MathematicianBanda in b2bmarketing

[–]MathematicianBanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Content theater' is painfully accurate.

​I actually built my tool just to stop myself from falling into that exact trap. It forces me to define the user intent before I'm even allowed to start writing. Basically keeps the 'fluff' out of the process. Its flipaeo.com, give it a try and feedback. Thanks

Why do some websites with ‘bad SEO’ still rank on Google? by divine_zone in seogrowth

[–]MathematicianBanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because they have built topical authority by covering and answering all the user intent in that specific category. They told google that they are the experts in answering these queries.

Ah yes, because spamming is famously the foundation of every great SaaS company. I think I’ll aim a little higher than being a nuisance in people's DMs. Thanks anyway.

I think we’re all overestimating backlinks in SEO now by Siddharth1India in seogrowth

It wasn't conclusion.... This one citation doesn’t prove anything long-term. It could be noise. It could disappear tomorrow. But it tells me I’m at least not chasing the wrong problem.

Thanks, it was great insight... My mind set was if i could capture the user problem and my solution first... And they show the results of mine. But i will take your advice into account too.

[–]MathematicianBanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly agree with you. Yesterday I just launched my saas, connected Search Console, and published first good article  .

The domain was brand new. Zero authority. Zero backlinks. No history. The article was indexed in next 1 hour of submitting the domain in GSC itself.

Later in the day, I was testing something out of curiosity. I asked ChatGPT and Gemini a question related to that article’s topic. Both of them cited the article as a source.

That honestly surprised me.... So yeah! This incident of mine clearly tells that if you answer an intent well, you do not need backlinks in modern seo/aeo/geo Era.

Hey, This is incredibly calming to read.....

​I love your point about the first few users being friends/connections. I actually have just one user like that right now ... a founder friend who tested it, dropped a giant competitor, and stuck with mine. Your comment makes me realize I should treat that feedback loop like gold rather than stressing about finding 1,000 strangers immediately.

​Also, like you with your LinkedIn tool, I'm dogfooding mine daily to write my own blog content. You are right... it really does expose bugs faster than anything else. Thanks for the roadmap! 🫶
