Built a tool to fix my biggest SEO headache — now turning it into a product

Hey 👋

I’ve been in the SEO trenches for years — and one thing that always frustrated me was Google Search Console reporting.

Exporting messy CSVs…
Spending hours cleaning data…
Trying to explain trends to clients with half-broken dashboards…

It felt like 80% of my time was lost in spreadsheets, not strategy.

So, a few months ago, I decided to solve my own problem. I built DataPulsify, a simple Google Sheets add-on + dashboard that turns GSC data into clean, actionable reports — no more manual work, no more confusion.

We’re launching it this Friday. Not as some massive startup — just as indie makers scratching our own itch.

Curious:

Have you ever built something out of pure frustration?

Did solving your own pain turn into something others needed too?

I’d love to hear your stories (and if anyone battles with GSC reporting, happy to share what I’ve built too).

Appreciate this community — it’s been a huge motivator along the way!
