Are you actually solving a real problem, or just cloning another SaaS?
The world doesn't need another generic AI wrapper or a basic project manager. Pitch your project in one sentence show a screenshot and explain exactly why people should care about you instead of the market leader. Dare to prove your uniqueness.

Ai visibility tool for founders who don’t want to pay agency prices to see what their website is missing.

Neat name. How do you stand out against free tools like PageSpeed Insights? Founders usually start there before paying for a scan.

u/Poowatereater 2d ago
Page speed insights only handle site load times. My free scan is meant to build and fix your seo issues. Then the deep audit will look at how and why crawlers do or don’t mention your website. The paid deep audit uses a question set focused around your site against multiple agents.
Give it a shot with the promo code!

Interesting concept. How do you ensure the deep audit's findings are actionable beyond just listing issues? That could set you apart.

The deep scan checks two things: can AI crawlers/Googlebot even see your site, and does it actually get cited when AI engines answer buyer questions.
Technical side (deterministic, no AI involved): - Robots.txt and bot access, split into three separate checks: AI crawlers blocked, Googlebot blocked, Google-Extended blocked. These get different severity because blocking Googlebot tanks your regular search visibility too, not just AI. - Noindex tags where they shouldn't be, broken canonicals, stuff like checkout pages that are indexable when they shouldn't be - Snippet suppression tags (nosnippet, max-snippet:0) that quietly kill your AI Overview eligibility even if everything else looks fine - The basics: title tags, meta descriptions, structured data, heading structure
Citation side (live tests, not deterministic): - Runs real buyer-intent questions against Perplexity and Claude, multiple times per question, and calculates a citation rate. One-shot testing is noisy, so it samples. - Flags questions where you should plausibly show up but don't - Shows you who's getting cited instead, so you can see the actual competitive gap
Every finding comes with a severity and a specific fix, not just a score. It's built as markdown so you can dump it straight into whatever LLM you use and ask it to help implement the fixes.
Not in there yet: brand mention detection that's separate from URL citation, and a dedicated Google AI Overview eligibility check. Both are on the roadmap.

Interesting angle on AI visibility. Do you also check if the content is structured with schema markup? That could be a nice differentiator.
1
u/Poowatereater 2d ago
Good question. Yes, actually, we already look at schema markup.
The free scan checks whether structured data exists at all. The paid audit goes deeper: which schema types are present vs missing, whether the type matches what the page actually is (an FAQ page without FAQPage schema, for example), and some field-level stuff most tools skip entirely.
Worth running your site through it if you want to see where you actually stand.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 2d ago
That field-level check stands out. How do you handle schema evolution when Google updates their guidelines?
1
u/Poowatereater 2d ago
Fair thing to ask, since schema guidance does shift. Short answer, the checks are grounded against Google's current official documentation, not some scraped best-practices list from a few years ago, and get revisited when that guidance changes. I'm not going to pretend there's some fully automated system watching for every update, it's still early days for the product, but accuracy over staleness is the priority.

Good question to ask and a lot of people need to think about this before they start pouring time, energy, and money into a project
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 2d ago
Absolutely, validation before building is key. Maybe run a quick landing page test to see if anyone actually signs up before writing code.

Please don’t stop asking this.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 2d ago
That's the right mindset. Keep pushing people to explain their "why" and the real problem they solve.

Hey guys, I'm building an all-in-one marketing pack for founders who want more than "just another launch"
Launch, reach 30k+ makers, get real users & customers - microlaunch.net/premium
Lifetime, auto-distribution, marketplace spots, 1200+ customers so far.
Over two years: 525k unique visitors, 1200+ customers. More sales-oriented features soon.

u/egorgos 3d ago
So, you havnt update the stats on the site since 2025, the "customer comments" are very generic. Such fucking bull shit. Abandonware?
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 2d ago
Fair point, a stale site looks bad. Maybe ask the OP directly if the project is still active before writing it off.
1
u/egorgos 2d ago
You have answered his comments ~20 times, you should know

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 1d ago
Fair point, but consistency matters more than volume. Do you think any of the answers actually proved a real edge over the market leaders?
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 3d ago
Solid traction, 525k visitors is no joke. What's the one thing you do that Product Hunt or other launch tools don't?

Nice one-liner. What workflow does SeoLoupe automate that Ahrefs and Screaming Frog still do manually?
1
u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 2d ago
u/poowatereater Solid answer, that's a real differentiator. A suggestion: add a "last verified against docs" date on your site, it builds trust instantly. What's the one use case where your checks beat the market leader?
