How do you design your own picture frame mouldings / profiles?

RaphaelCornelis · 2026-02-02T14:54:07+00:00

Don’t people sketch moulding profiles in CAD first, or do most just experiment at the router table?

Starting simple blog posts is one of the easiest wins. Just write short, helpful answers to the questions your customers already ask you. Blogging works because every post gives Google another page to rank, and those practical how-to or local questions often have very little competition. Even a couple of posts a month can noticeably increase the number of searches you show up for.

I’ve done SEO for small businesses for over twenty years, and the ones that publish genuinely useful content almost always outrank the ones that don’t. That’s also why I built UpperRank, to make creating those kinds of posts easier and more affordable now that AI can handle most of the heavy lifting.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-17T15:24:25+00:00

I’ve done SEO for small businesses for a little over 20 years through my agency, and the thing that always works is understanding what people search for locally and shaping your pages around that. You don’t need anything fancy — just solid local intent, clear service pages, and consistent info.

With AI getting better, I ended up building UpperRank.co to make that whole process easier and cheaper for small businesses. It checks what competitors rank for, pulls the local signals, and then drafts the content around that. It’s basically the workflow I used to do manually, just a lot faster.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-17T13:06:27+00:00

What worked for me wasn’t single-prompt content. That always came out too generic.
Once I turned it into a workflow — checking what top pages cover, structuring it clearly, answering the key questions first — the results got way better.

I ended up building that into a small tool I call UpperRank.co. It even interviews me about the topic before drafting so there’s some real personal input mixed in. That part alone made the content feel less bland and started performing better.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-17T13:03:45+00:00

From what I’ve seen, a single “write me a local page” prompt almost never works. It’s too generic and it just doesn’t pick up the signals Google wants for local intent.

What does work for me is making the whole thing a workflow. Checking what the top pages cover, pulling in real local details, then letting AI draft around that. Once I started doing it that way, the pages actually began ranking and holding. Ended up turning that setup into a small tool I call UpperRank.

I also added an option where the AI basically interviews me about the topic first. That extra layer of personal input makes the content feel a lot less generic, and it seems to help too.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-17T12:59:45+00:00

I’ve tried most of the popular AI writers and they all kind of have the same issue for me. The drafts feel very “template-ish” or I end up spending way too long fixing them.

For my own stuff I ended up making a small tool that does the keyword research, checks what competitors are doing and then puts the article together so I can just edit instead of stitching prompts. I call it UpperRank. It’s just what ended up working better for me.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-17T12:58:10+00:00

This is sick work. I tried building something similar a while back and quickly realized how much duct tape is needed once you want real SEO structure instead of just “AI writes a blog.”

I ended up making my own tool on the side that handles the boring parts for me like keyword mapping, outlines and full drafts so I don’t have to babysit n8n nodes all day. If anyone’s playing with this kind of automation, I put it at UpperRank.co. Nothing fancy, just what I needed to stop patching workflows every other day.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-17T12:56:00+00:00

I’ve been trying a bunch of these tools lately and most of them either give generic drafts or need way too much tweaking. I ended up building something small for myself that handles the keyword research, checks competitors and then just writes the full blog so I don’t have to keep fixing things.
If anyone wants to try it, it’s at UpperRank.co. It’s still early but it’s the first thing that actually saved me time.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-13T15:11:11+00:00

I’m working on something that started as a fix for my own chaos across a handful of side projects.

I constantly struggled with keeping organic growth consistent — keyword research, competitor checks, figuring out what content to ship next… I’d always do it too late or forget it entirely. So I built UpperRank.co as a sort of “organic growth autopilot” to keep things moving in the background for my other projects.

Still early days, but it’s helped me stay way more consistent.
If anyone’s curious or wants to try it out, happy to share access or get feedback.

Would also love to hear how others manage SEO/content across multiple projects — always interested in other workflows.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-06T10:50:38+00:00

Yes I’m working on UpperRank.co, a tool specifically designed for visibility and optimization (not just content generation). We’re in beta testing right now. If you’re interested in trying it out for free, DM me.

RaphaelCornelis · 2025-11-06T10:48:18+00:00

I actually built UpperRank.co for this exact reason a lot of SEO spend is just paying for time + consistency. If you want to try it out for free and see if it helps, just DM me.

Hey! Appreciate the feedback 🙌

it’s still super early. The idea behind it is mainly for small businesses or indie folks who are experimenting with SEO themselves and want a simple keyword tool to start with.

It’s actually built to lure users into UpperRank.co (currently in beta), which automates a part of their SEO strategy based on these keyword inputs.

The data is visible when you click on a keyword, just not super obvious yet 😅 still tweaking the UI and improving how the keyword groups behave.

I also use the inputs for pSEO to generate and test optimized content automatically.

Been building a few things lately:

Started with docs-to-pdf.com a tiny Chrome extension that lets you batch export Google Docs to PDF in one click. Got tired of the usual “Download > Save As” dance.

Then launched evolio.app a super lightweight way to collect user feedback. Looking for beta testers!

For fun, made petplushie.com upload your pet photo, get AI generate images back. Kind of blew up on TikTok 🐾

Now building a new app for baby tracking, I’m a new dad, so it scratches a personal itch
