When anyone can build, distribution is the only moat. Built a free tool to improve your ChatGPT and Google visibility

When anyone can build a product, distribution is the moat.

And increasingly, getting discovered by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI is distribution.

I've launched multiple apps over the past year. Every time the hardest part wasn't building - it was getting discovered. I did everything right on traditional SEO, got my green scores, and still struggled to get organic traction.

Then I started digging deeper. Ran my sites through every tool I could find, asked AI directly why my products weren't showing up in its answers. Found gaps that nobody was flagging - technical issues that were quietly killing my AI search visibility. Fixed a few of them and saw results almost immediately.

That's when I realized this may not be just my problem. Every builder launching something faces the same gap. SEO tools check for Google. Nobody was checking for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI.

So I built Potatometer - a free tool that runs checks across both traditional SEO and AI search visibility and gives you a prioritized fix list in seconds. No paywalls, no fluff. Added the fun angle - is your website a raw potato to ChatGPT and Google?

Launched on Product Hunt today. 560 visits, 14 waitlist signups so far. Still figuring out if there's real demand but the early signals are encouraging.
Would love the IH community's honest feedback - does this solve a real problem for you?
