Wanna learn to use SEO analytics to validate & grow a category leading SaaS - in less than 60 minutes of listening? (with tools like @ahrefs)
In the latest Ramen Club Podcast I interviewed my friend and longtime member @ramykhuffash on building https://t.co/NayuX7dEC7 (dynamic B2B QR code generator).
He dropped a tonne of practical lessons for early and later-stage founders:
🧠 Use search intent as validation (not just volume): “if there's no good intent in the keywords, then it's not worth taking that seriously.”
🤔 And on what “intent” looks like: “Whereas like dynamic QR code generator, for example, is like that someone looking to generate QR codes that are dynamic, which tend to be paid.”
♣️ Run small bets to get market signals - then kill the rest: “It's more trying to get signals back from the market versus trying to make five things work at once.” …and “it's kinda fine to just drop the others.”
🚢 Ship in weeks or you’ll drift (or stop enjoying it): “If I can't get something out there in front of some people within a few weeks, I feel like either I'll start building in the wrong direction, or I'll just stop enjoying working on it.”
🏗️ SEO doesn’t have to mean blogging: “It's all product landing pages, which everybody assumes SEO means writing blog posts”
👀 And the specific tactic: “we just have a product page with that exact phrase in the title and in the URL, and people just click on it.”
🙏 In crowded markets, trust can be the wedge: “Some of them have a pretty kinda scammy approach to growth” …“they kind of make it seem like people are creating free QR codes, but actually those QR codes are on a free trial and they expire.”
…plus much more.
