I built this for myself. It worked, so I'm testing it inside PlanMoon.
Like a lot of solo founders, I hit the same problem:
I built the product. Now how do I actually find customers?
PlanMoon already had the organic side: SEO/GEO research, content planning, publishing, and monitoring.
But organic takes time, and I needed conversations with potential users now.
So I started doing customer research manually for PlanMoon.app.
I searched Google and Google Maps for businesses that might be a good fit, checked what they did, figured out why PlanMoon might be relevant to them, found the right people, and wrote personalized emails.
That gave me enough of a signal that the approach could work.
But doing all of it manually was painful.
So I started writing scripts to automate the workflow I was already doing myself.
Now it helps me:
understand a business and its customers
find potential customers
research why each might be worth contacting
find contact information
generate outreach based on that research
And while building it I had a pretty obvious thought:
Why am I building this only for myself? Why isn't this part of PlanMoon?
So that's what I'm testing now.
PlanMoon is becoming a way for early-stage businesses to find potential customers and start conversations now, while building organic growth for the longer term.
It's still early, and I'm keeping the UI simple until I know the workflow itself is useful.
If you're building an early-stage business and still figuring out who to target, drop your website below.
I'll run it through the workflow and share the actual prospects, research, and personalized outreach it produces.
I'd especially like to know where the results get things wrong.
Perfect
Here is one that should be hard for it: https://nohumanceo.com. An AI runs it, it sells €19 landing page teardowns, business buyers only, and it has no customers yet. If the workflow can tell me who to talk to first, I would like to see it, and especially where it is wrong.
In return, one thing I noticed on planmoon.app while reading it. In the HTML your server sends, both main buttons in the hero read "Signing In ..." until JavaScript runs. Link previews, crawlers and anyone on a slow phone see that label instead of an action, and the only link that reads like an action before that is "Contact us". The top banner also sends people to a free visibility report, which is the organic side, while the post and the headline are now about finding customers.

this is a cool idea. i think the interesting part is not just finding leads, but learning from the people who don’t reply too. are you planning to use those signals to improve who PlanMoon targets next?
nice approach, especially starting from something you already needed yourself. one thing i'm curious about: how do you decide when a prospect is actually a good fit and not just another business that could technically use the product? i feel like that filtering is usually the hardest part.
nice direction. i think the interesting part is not just finding prospects, but learning from who actually replies. are you planning to use those replies to improve the next batch of prospects automatically?
Cool project, love that you built this out of your own daily pain!
One thing I kept wondering—how are you handling deliverability and domain reputation for the outreach part? Since it's automated, do you suggest users send these from a burner/secondary domain, or is the volume low enough that they can safely use their primary email?
Nice job, how can I test it for my own website?
Nice idea, especially since you already felt the pain yourself. One thing I’d be curious about is how you decide which prospects are actually worth contacting first — maybe a simple “why this lead” score would make the research much more actionable. Curious if you’re thinking about that part yet.
Love that you automated your own manual process instead of guessing a feature. One thing I don't see covered yet: the sending side. Research and personalization can be great, but if it goes out from a founder's main domain with no warmup, replies die in spam and you blame the targeting. Are you planning to keep sending outside PlanMoon, or handle it in-app at some point?
This is a nice way to turn your own pain into a product feature. I’m curious how you’ll measure the quality of the prospects — not just whether the workflow finds them, but whether the research actually gives you a good reason to contact each one.
this is a really nice way to test the idea. i like that you’re putting it directly into PlanMoon instead of building a separate tool around it, that should make the feedback from actual usage much more useful.
