Share your startup, and I will research a Programmatic SEO idea to drive more traffic from Google

SEO competitions are getting more challenging nowadays. Publishing articles no longer help.

My favorite solution is using Programmatic SEO: Targetting keywords with low volumes and less competition at a massive scale.

Share your startup, and I will give you an idea about Programmatic SEO you can build.

Please also share what your startup is trying to solve and who your ideal customers are.

Update:
Thank you for all the requests. I don't expect the responses will be this huge.
It takes time to research, so it won't be fast. But I will do it for everyone.

Thank you

    Hi Fauzi,

    Thanks for doing this.

    At Appzi we've built an easy-to-use feedback collection tool for SaaS. The tool is designed for product managers, customer success teams and UI/UX designers.

    Here's the link to our site: https://www.appzi.com/

    I have ZERO clue about SEO/Marketing/Advertising. I'm a developer/site reliability engineer/devops type in the Cloud application space and I've been building a dating app/website for 6 years now.. It's gone through a lot of change. I used to have friends helping.. they dont anymore. I do most of the coding myself which leaves little time for SEO/Advertising. As a result i'm struggling to "advertise" so people find my site and apps, and use them. So that's where i'm stuck.. Getting people TO the site/app.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    even just direction. I'm completely funding this myself and it has been an insanely expensive venture. It taught me a lot but still was really expensive..

    https://flockdating.com is the link.

    pitch: Online dating is ruined by scammers/fakes. We keep them out through network protection and AI that watches for them on the platform and disables them immediately. We also allow you to invite friends into the platform (single or not) to help you find your person. Finally, we have a full blown social network embedded inside that is like facebook. We're trying to build a better online dating experience, one brick at a time.

    The idea of programmatic SEO is great. But how do you generate quality content programmatically/automatically? I don't think it is possible.

    This is great, thanks Fauzi!

    It's because Google is geared towards websites with the most backlinks—"trust" worthy ones of course/credible. I'm building www.midasindex.com to tackle this issue somewhat by providing users press coverage and somewhat readable articles covering what indie hackers are doing.

    This is a great idea.

    I'd love to hear how you'd improve my website www.trillmag.com.

    We're a team of around 50 writers (little bit less atm), that published news, entertainment and culture articles around the clock and have done so for years.

    Struggled to ever take off traffic wise. Anyone out there will an idea of what they would do with these sorts of resources to grow would be great.

    We're all a little naive when it comes to SEO and marketing and I feel like this is massively holding us back.

    Thanks,

      Hey Lelinta, long-term, content is the best strategy, but it´s painful to create. Recently, I discovered the power of AI writer tools. I tested several, many are trash, but one is fantastic. I love wordhero.co. And right now, there is a super cheap unlimited lifetime deal on appsumo. With this tool I can create an 1,500 words article in about 1 hour including post pic and publishing. And if I can do this, anyone can. Cheers, Peter

      Let me know what you think, and Good luck!

      1. 1

        @fauzi. Thanks a lot. It is really interesting! Really really interesting 🙏🏻

    2. 1

      An interesting product. How do you intend to monetize it?

      1. 1

        Hei @techPachets. Good question 😅. I want to add some more functionalities like actually I am training a GNN ( AI ) that will personalized learning path. For example depending on your domain or background the AI will remove some parts, change some videos, ... so you can have an optimal course depending on the time you have.

        • I am thinking about adding things like that and add a subscription for those extra
        • or if someone will need a personnal menthor. I can try to have some return this way also.

        But to be honest, right now I don't really know the best direction.

        1. 1

          Interesting, but how are you training the AI? I mean on what data? Unless you know what users want and if they like the results, I don't understand how is gonna AI work in the initial phases.

          Also, I've seen a similar product like yours in the form of a chrome extension. Will send you the link if I come across it again.

          Paid consultation can bring you good money though.

          1. 1

            Yeah for the training, I generate artificial data but it is not perfect now. I think real users' data will be better. And I will be very happy to see this product. Thanks

            And thanks for the advises

  57. 1

    Hey Fauzi!
    Can I ask what stack you normally use for the programmatic SEO front end?
    If for example, I scraped all the data into Airtable, how do you normally publish it?

    1. 2

      I use WordPress to speed up the process. Just make a call to the REST API to create a new post. you can use Zapier for that

    2. 2

      I build a small tool that helped me: https://github.com/sbalen/landingpagehelper

      (used it for https://stenos.io)

      Let me know if it works for you, I might spend a little more time on it if it does.

      Hi David,

      At first, I kinda stuck with the possibility, but finally came up with an Idea.
      Take a look: https://fauziabd.notion.site/Eredom-com-Programmatic-SEO-55da3c7958554e92b9ebd79bf791c156

      Let me know what you think

      1. 1

        Hey, thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll try to work more on this, and I'll let you know how is it going (I am following you on Twitter, so we can discuss it there as well).

        Thanks again!

    Hey Fauzi, thanks for offering this! Curious to see what you come up with for the logo maker space ;) Here's my startup: https://mojomox.com

    Thanks! Saskia

    1. 1

      Hi Saskia,

      I see what you already did with this page: https://mojomox.com/logo-ideas.

      After some research, here's my suggestion:

      Primary Keyword: "XXX Logo Ideas"

      • XXX is the industry: Health Logo Ideas, Software Logo Ideas, Construction Logo Ideas, etc.
      • Showcase the most popular company logo for that Industry. For example, in the Movie Industry: Walt Disney, Pixar, Warner Bros, etc.
      • Then showcase your generated Movie Logos
      • You can use the Industry Category list I created long ago here to generate hundreds of keywords: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Wz0b8L6v0ozWmii-XA6F_V_YihGKemJ6?usp=sharing
      • Imagine having 500 keywords collections → 500 pages → each page generate 100 visitors → Easy 50k traffic from Google.

      One more thing, make the layout and keyword consistent for each post. Either directory or blog post style will work.

      I hope it helps. Good Luck!

      1. 1

        Hi Fauzi,

        Thanks so much for looking into this! This is awesome :)

        The industry list you shared is great too!

        Have a great weekend!

      Seems cool but too lazy to pull my bank statement to try. Maybe have a, example PDF.

    1. 1

      You have an interesting product right there, awesome!

      Here's my recommendation: Build a directory of the best tweets.

      Keyword: "Best XXX Tweets"

      • XXX can be a popular personality; Best Trump Tweets, Best Kanye Tweets, Best Elon Musk Tweets, etc.
      • XXX also can be a topic; Best Business Tweets, Best Meme Tweets, Best Parenting Tweets, etc.
      • "Best" can be replaced with "Top" or "Viral".

      Making a directory will showcase your product's functionality.

      Hope it helps. Good luck!
