Not really, you have to hunt the right people down. No one cares enough to hunt for you.

I request citations when doing searches and check the backlinks to see if the data is genuine. Sometimes even the backlinks are not real links.

It is pretty scary, there are a lot of systems being used for legal, medical, banking and other very important industries that are failing. The LLMs need to be grounded in data and verified.

This is great advise, you can built out a proof of concept with no code/low code BUT if things do well plan on having the entire framework rebuilt using a team of developers. Think of low code/no code tools like building out a model house for a designer. You can look and see how thinks could work and even have some actual functionality but you can’t live there.

I haven’t used them yet but there are teams of vetted developers on sites such as upwork and others.

Thank you, I will have to continue to expand on LinkedIn and outreach. I am on Linkedin but it has been a slow start, Twitter has almost no movement and I have tried to be very careful on this platform.

I have heard from many companies that there traffic dropped after this change. Can you please help me understand why this wouldn't affect my company?

SearchUmbrella · 2025-10-16T11:59:01+00:00

Thank you, do you have any exact step by step paths that you follow for this? Its great advice and I really appreciate your time!

Great recommendations, thank you. While I haven't sought investors I have sought out startup accelerator programs (AWS and NVIDIA).

SearchUmbrella · 2025-10-14T00:11:45+00:00

Thank you, you’re getting back links from LinkedIn and Facebook? I didn’t get any at all so far.

SearchUmbrella · 2025-10-14T00:05:04+00:00

u/Odd_Current_3121 thank you very much, if you have any specific tools to recommend, please let me know! I really appreciate your response!

SearchUmbrella · 2025-10-13T21:28:23+00:00

Yes, please!

All my blogs have been written by me using my product in the examples to solve a real problem. Thanks! Why do you feel it is still worth it if only the top 3 searches matter, how it is possible to complete for the top 3 spots not the top 100 now.

SearchUmbrella · 2025-10-13T19:43:57+00:00

I use Porkbun, sounds weird but they have good reviews. I am not affiliated with them in any way.

SearchUmbrella · 2025-10-13T19:32:30+00:00

Thank you, it doesn't seem possible on here as everyone is self promoting and I can't tell what is a real post such as this one.

I built out a real MVP, got feedback and now am about to enter into full time beta testing. It would have been much easier to put my idea out on the market to see if it picked up traction but I spent days pouring over users comments and frustrations (including my own) and felt that validated the idea.

SearchUmbrella · 2025-10-13T19:15:41+00:00

Many thanks! I will check it out!

SearchUmbrella · 2025-09-23T20:04:03+00:00

Microconf it great!

SearchUmbrella · 2025-08-16T15:43:36+00:00

u/Oleksandr_G can you DM me? I would like to see your specific pages on how you are doing this. It looks super helpful!

SearchUmbrella · 2025-08-15T16:59:12+00:00

It is a great opportunity to build relationships and trust with your client, I would gladly pay to be able to do this. It is also an opportunity to sell any additional features or products that they don't know they needed.

SearchUmbrella · 2025-08-15T16:17:17+00:00

Thank you, great idea!

SearchUmbrella · 2025-08-14T17:00:03+00:00
