First time posting - would love feedback on my keyword goldmine 🏅
Hey IH đź‘‹,
Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I've shipped before (co-founded a VC-backed marketplace, years in corporate tech, started career at Uber) but this is my first time actually putting something in front of this community.
Lately I've realized the indie hacker life is what I actually love and it has been exciting for me to leave the VC treadmill and embrace this.
So here's what I recently made that I'm excited to get y'alls' thoughts:
👸 Keyword Goldmine 🏆
I got tired of paying $140/mo for SEO tools that gave me 10K keywords, then spending hours filtering for ones I could actually rank for for my new startup ideas.
This tool helps me skip the noise - only surfaces "Gold Nuggets" (volume ≥500, difficulty ≤40, weak competitors) and ranks each by Opportunity Score.
Free: 5 searches/day
Pro: $8.95/mo or $149 lifetime
Link: keywordgoldmine.com
Would love honest feedback:
-- Does the value click?
-- Are the Gold Nuggets actually winnable/useful for you?
--- What's missing?
This community has been inspiring me for years. Excited to finally post and get your thoughts. 🙏
This really resonates. As someone who works on SEO for early-stage products, the biggest time sink is always filtering “possible” keywords from huge lists.
Focusing on volume + realistic difficulty + weak SERPs is exactly how we validate SEO opportunities for new sites. Opportunity Score is a nice touch.
Curious how you’re measuring “weak competitors” is it link profile, content depth, or both?
This is a solid pain to target — the filtering cost of SEO tools is real.
One validation angle I’d test next:
Do users trust your Opportunity Score more than their own judgment?
In my experience, tools win when they replace decision fatigue, not just surface data.
If I had to pick one “undeniable” v1 feature:
show why a keyword is a gold nugget in plain English (e.g. “you can outrank because X/Y/Z”), not just the score.
Curious: have you seen anyone change what they planned to build after using it?
