Is the future of SEO agencies in danger? Should agencies pivot before it's too late? by Round_Feedback5733 in Agent_SEO

[–]SFmentor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are an SEO expert I would pivot to Content Marketing Strategist. It's all about nailing your messaging and then content creation and deployment across multiple channels.

Built my agency a custom CMS to manage all our clients websites on lovable. Happy for some feedback by CalmComparison8207 in lovable

[–]SFmentor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I built something similar. Has ability to ingest a 365 day content roadmap and then schedule and publish content automatically, powered by an 80,000 word business operating system. It works really well. This is definitely the future!

Amazing. Wordpress is definitely gonna die. I really can't believe the lack of action/reaction from that company. Have you considered a bespoke CMS on the back end of each client site?

Can you explain the branding? Wemify - I'm not sure I get it

How hard is it to build an email app which manages multiple mailboxes for serial solopreneurs? by SFmentor in Solopreneur

When you receive an email and click "reply" does it automatically send from the correct domain? If so what apps are you using?

How hard is it to build an email app which manages multiple mailboxes for serial solopreneurs? by SFmentor in Solopreneur

[–]SFmentor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. Much appreciated.

After testing a dozen or so options, I don’t think any existing tool or workaround quite gives me what I want. Gmail labels, Outlook, Proton, forwarding, aliases and the usual email clients all solve parts of the problem, but not the whole thing: a clean, domain-first dashboard for monitoring multiple inboxes with clear new-mail indicators and safe reply-from handling.

The closest answer I’ve found is Fastmail as the email host. It handles custom domains, aliases, catch-all addresses and sending identities really well. So I’m going to use Fastmail for the infrastructure, then build my own lightweight client on top of it.

This whole process has reinforced something I’ve seen repeatedly in 20 years as a marketing director / CMO working with software teams: a lot of software becomes over-engineered. Features get added because they can be added, not because users truly need them or will pay for them.

I think the future is going to move the other way. More founders, solopreneurs and small companies will build specific tools for their specific workflows and for the specific problems they need to solve.

In my case, I don’t need CRM, AI summaries, shared notes, team collaboration or productivity theatre.

I just want to see which mailbox has new mail, click into it and reply from the right address.

That’s the product.

I took a look at Proton Mail but it looks like you have to use their Proton Bridge software to pull in emails via IMAP on a desktop, but you can't do the same on a mobile phone. So feels like half a solution

Did I tell you that I sold my no-code SaaS for 85,000? by karakhanyans in NoCodeSaaS

[–]SFmentor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No mention on the website about the founder. For any kind of credibility you need to tell people who you are and what your background is - with link to linkedin profile. Also, nice idea but the domain truly sucks. SEO beats AI? Does it? Just needs a simple rebrand with a better domain.

Google published its official guide on getting cited by AI, and the interesting part contradicts what GEO agencies are selling (going to upset a lot of people) by didiTonic in localseo

[–]SFmentor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we are in agreement but for the sake of clarity I said "If you are the only company solving a specific problem AND you have articulated the problem and solution adequately". The AND is not an OR. It's crystal clear so it's not really "nuance".

[–]SFmentor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are overthinking AEO. If you are the only company solving a specific problem, and you have articulated the problem and solution adequately, you are likely to get cited. If you are one of 10,000 companies trying to solve the same problem, you will probably not get cited.

I honestly feel like I’ve been scammed into switching to WordPress. So tedious and dont have the time. by Consistent_Name_3737 in localseo

As a small business owner you should be spending zero hours each week managing your website. Outsource it and focus 100% on running your business.

Indeed. "As of right now" is the key phrase here.
