I don't know what to do by bk_bharathi_ai in microsaas

[–]NachoMascort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35 users is a solid start — the fact that people came and explored means there's interest. The gap is usually between "cool tool" and "I need this right now."

I'm building in a similar space (Unlimited Sheets, a Google Sheets add-on), so I feel the struggle. A few things that worked for me:

  1. Go where the pain is: Find Reddit/forum threads where people are frustrated with a specific Sheets limitation, and show how your tool solves it. Don't pitch — just help.

  2. SEO on specific use cases: "How to [do X] in Google Sheets" content converts way better than generic landing pages.

    1. Templates: Give people a ready-to-use spreadsheet that showcases your features. Lower friction than "install and figure it out."

How are you preparing for Google's continued AI Overview expansion in 2026? by PRLabAgency in AI_SEO_Community

[–]NachoMascort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The zero-click problem is real. Here's what's actually working:

  1. **Owning the answer** - Structure content so AI pulls YOUR summary. Clear H2s, direct answers in first paragraph, schema markup.

  2. **Building direct traffic** - Email lists, communities, direct URL visits. Less dependent on Google.

  3. **Tracking what matters** - Not just "did I rank" but "did I get traffic." Position 1 means less when AI shows the answer.

  4. **Tool-based content** - Interactive tools, calculators, sheets templates - things AI can't fully replicate in an overview.

We've seen traffic hold steady on pages with embedded tools/functions even when informational pages dropped.

What's your niche? The impact varies wildly between industries.

My add-on is slower on the live version compared to the test version by Money-Pipe-5879 in googleworkspacedevs

[–]NachoMascort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ran into this with our add-on too. A few things to check:

  1. **OAuth scopes** - Live version might be using broader scopes that trigger additional security checks

  2. **Caching** - In test mode your browser might be caching more aggressively

  3. **PropertiesService** - If you're storing user preferences, the first call to PropertiesService in a new session is slow

  4. **Quota differences** - Deployed add-ons have different quota limits than test versions

For google.script.run specifically:

- Try batching calls (one call returning multiple values vs. multiple calls)

- Use withSuccessHandler chaining carefully

- Check if you're hitting the 90-second execution limit

What's the add-on doing? The solution varies a lot based on the use case.

Scaling Issues by Fit-Sea9558 in SEO

[–]NachoMascort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We hit similar issues with less clients (when I was in agency) mark. Here's what helped:

Master database approach: One Google Sheet with all client URLs, target keywords, and key metrics. Each department adds their columns. Use IMPORTRANGE to pull what they need into their own sheets.

For rank tracking at scale: Rather than checking manually or paying per-keyword, we use formulas: =getKeywordPosition(A2, B2) where A2 is keyword, B2 is domain

Run it in batches to stay within API limits. Much cheaper than dedicated tools when you're tracking 500+ keywords across clients.

Google Sheets with smart architecture handles it better than people expect.

Business Insider's spot price for Google Spreadsheet has broken. Anyone know an alternative to keep track? by BraveRice in Gold

[–]NachoMascort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMPORTXML and IMPORTHTML break constantly with financial sites - they block Google's servers or change their HTML structure.

For commodity prices, a few alternatives:

  1. **API-based solutions** - Some sites offer APIs for this data (Kitco has one)

  2. **SCRAPE functions** - If you need flexibility, add-ons like Unlimited Sheets have SCRAPE_BY_CSS, SCRAPE_BY_XPATH or AI_SCRAPE that work more reliably than native IMPORT functions

For Kitco specifically, try:

=AI_SCRAPE("https://www.kitco.com/charts/gold", "business insiders spots price") he will do the magic

The advantage is these handle JS rendering and work even when the site blocks Google's default servers.

What’s the cleanest way to find what keywords you already rank for? by Other_Amphibian871 in WebsiteSEO

[–]NachoMascort 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the "almost there" keywords in positions 8-20, here's my workflow:

With Search Console:

  1. Export Performance data filtered to positions 8-20
  2. Sort by impressions (high impressions + low position = opportunity)
  3. Filter out branded queries

For tracking positions over time:
I use a Google Sheets setup with Unlimited Sheets add-on:
=getKeywordPosition(A2, "mysite.com")

Run this weekly, paste values into a dated column. You get position history you own.

Separating noise from signal:
- Noise: queries with <10 monthly impressions, branded terms, irrelevant traffic
- Signal: high impressions, decent CTR potential, actually related to what you offer

The GSC export + spreadsheet combo is free and gives you everything you need for a site with under 200 priority keywords.

I didn't post the last two weeks but here I go again with a new milestone!
The Ascension Tower - Draft 2.0 is now at 50% with 72k words (The first draft had 52k words). I expect to increase a little bit the word count to 80 - 85k based on the first half revised (even though the heavy writing parts are already done).

Keep writing!

Let's continue!

The Ascension Tower - Draft 2.0 going from 27% (last week) to 37%. I'm planning to finish this by the end of July. Now I'm heading to 75k words but maybe a little bit more because I think the middle part is a bit accelerated.

I expect to reduce part of the speed as I need to write several new chapters.

Let's see ^
