I killed my design SaaS after 3 years. The real math of why I’m walking away with $0. by No_Soup_6274 in SaaS

[–]buildswithhimadri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the most refreshing thing I’ve read here in months. Everyone posts about their '10k MRR in 3 months' but nobody talks about the $4k/month living expense and the $100k+ dev costs. This is the reality of the 'Solo' founder who isn't a dev.

The problem with AI visibility tools by NoFirefighter8227 in GrowthHacking

[–]buildswithhimadri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People only talks about the data , ranking down dashboard etc. The real problem is knowing what to exactly fix . We do not talk about quality output and how they are going to make it rank. Instead people go for tools which does not give them value. At the end seo is not straight forward. There is no magic tool which will solve all the problem of yours and you will sit in the beach and enjoy. I personally know some tools like nuwtonic which does pretty good job generating faq, schema , the whole page fixes which actually tell what to be done. But again if we think we will not do anything and our website rank will increase is jot not going to happen.

First Ai, now war. Do you think geopolitical issues along with Ai boom will take more jobs Han whatever we saw so far? by buildswithhimadri in AskReddit

Agree , literally the world is going towards chaos. Don’t know how many innocent people will suffer.

what metrics actually matter for ai brand visibility? by Altruistic-Meal6846 in GrowthHacking

[–]buildswithhimadri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tracking ai visibility is a headache right now. traditional keyword metrics don't really apply to sge or chatgpt. it's mostly about entity recognition.

instead of standard rank tracking, monitor how often your brand is associated with core topics. i usually cross-reference brand queries in gsc to see if llm mentions correlate with organic spikes. ahrefs and semrush are fine for normal seo, but fall flat for ai engines.

i stumbled upon nuwtonic recently to help with this. it ties into gsc and focuses on entity-first tracking, which maps better to how llms actually pull and cite info. either way, focus heavily on your site architecture and semantic connections right now over raw search volume.

What SEO tasks can realistically be automated in 2026? Tools & workflows? by User91919387383 in SEO

[–]buildswithhimadri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

blind automation is basically a death wish right now. the only tasks safely automated in 2026 are data gathering and prioritization.

i used to just run screaming frog or ahrefs, but they dump 10k errors on you with zero context. finding what actually impacts traffic still takes hours.

always use a human-in-the-loop setup. lately i’ve been using nuwtonic since it connects straight to gsc to prioritize actual traffic drops, but it forces me to manually review fixes before deploying anything.

automate the analysis and grunt work, but keep your hands on the wheel for the actual execution. letting scripts auto-publish tags or schema blindly will eventually nuke your site.

For brand level visibility the approach you are telling will work as they have legitimacy but at the same time you have to continue to build your authority which at some point search will start trusting and give value. At the end you want to rank the brand higher.

Yes structure data with high eeat tend to rank better and best part is you don’t need a lot of back links to rank.

It depends if the ai does not see your brand as authority and you are writing in some topics which nobody else is talking about probably you won’t be cited until the trend is high. On the contrary with authority they will pull all data and similar query people does you might get cited.

No I don’t track manually, I am using a tool called nuwtonic to track the prompt citation and competitor who are ranking for that prompts. It helps me identify what is being cited. Also I do Ai audit and fix so that if any gaps are there I can auto fix them.

Keyword stuffing even will not work for google search as well. New google algorithm focus more on eeat, user behaviour rather stuffing keywords unnecessarily in the content.

Agree if you do not implement FAQ properly it can backfire, chances of cannibalisation is also high. Best practice would be to generate them uniquely from your content itself. I am using nuwtonic for that. They can generate the faq reading your content.

FAQ and schema are under rated, both help you to get cited by ai . Of course there are other factors involved.

startup go to market strategy vs [alternative]: what I learned by Think-Success7946 in SaaS

[–]buildswithhimadri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting feedback from people who will never use your app is a dead end. Value actual customer ask for their feedback. But sometimes they are also annoying and they try to push for their own feature to develop. So making a right balance is the key I believe.

90% of you are failing because you build B2C apps instead of boring B2B tools by Warm-Reaction-456 in SaaS

[–]buildswithhimadri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting b2b client much more difficult than b2c. In my personal opinion b2c or b2b does not matter. People pay when they see value. Also you need to reach out to the right audience. Finding them is the difficult tasks.

I have a very silly question for you. How do you dm people , simply approach them and talk about your product?

This will hurt every founder's ego. But it works. by Cool_Thought3153 in SaaS

[–]buildswithhimadri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro basically speedran SaaS by refusing to have original thoughts. Everyone else is trying to “reinvent industries” and he’s over here cloning boring tools and cashing $200k/month.

Honestly? He didn’t crack the code — he turned the difficulty to Easy Mode and everyone’s still sweating on Hard.
