@asaio87 Yeah, it is a big win when a business had no clue they're blocking LLMs from crawling

& that's been the experience with most of the businesses I work with

[Alec @Gitranked]

Unsure on this take. Why wouldn’t an indie hacker’s SaaS need SEO?

SEO doesn’t mean spending $3,000 a month min on a retainer

It can be free, by optimizing pages, setting up GSC, GA, Bing webmaster, robots.txt, making tools

There’s a common misconception that in order to do any type of SEO you need to hire an expert for thousands of dollars

Plus, indie hackers can and have made huge businesses!

Whether you are pre revenue or making thousands per month you should be setting yourself up for success.

& if not now? When? I don’t think headcount should determine if you invest resources (financial and or time) into some of the most impactful user acquisition channels.

Which are FREE to start working on :)

Indiehackers projects don't need SEO

but any serious app will need it.

$10k invested in SEO is almost nothing when you think of paid ads for example.

I am not doing paid ads for my saas app, but i tried to do a simulation, google ads suggested $700 budget a day to start with

most likely that budget would be $1,000 when it gets stable.

thats $30k/month

if you would invest $5k / month on seo, i absolutely promise you that you will be very very far away in 6 months.

by the time you hit 1 year, you are already profitable, and everything compounds.

free directory listings help, but its 0.5%

aim for the good relevant backlinks for your business
