The most common mistake smart engineers make: optimizing something that shouldn't exist.
Elon Musk admits he did exactly this on a Tesla production line. He automated it, then sped it up, then simplified it, and ended up deleting steps that never needed to be there.
So now he tells his teams to work in the opposite order:
1. Question every requirement
2. Delete what isn't needed
3. Simplify
4. Speed up
5. Automate last
Most of us start at step 5. Then we wonder why the thing is complicated.
Before you optimize anything this week, ask: should this exist at all?
What's one thing you built recently that you could have deleted instead?

There is no Search Console for ChatGPT.
Your site can be recommended to a thousand buyers this month, or skipped in favour of a competitor, and you would never find out.
Step one is smaller than that: can the AI crawlers even read you?
I made that check free. No account, no email, no result held back for an address. Type a domain.
@Gaus450 When you build something don't put plan B. Always focus on 1 thing at the same time.
Later if it failed you will have more knowledge to build something better and you will no start from 0.
@victor_bigfield I agree with you, marketing is the most important thing you do for your self and your products. You need also to invest in SEO for later.
Yes, I totally agree with you. And people with ton of followers they will do drama always by saying "quotes" for people like my saas get 10K per day without marketing. Elon Musk can do something popular in 1 hour.
My advise for you, if you don't have followers you should do Paid ads. don't listen to people tell you do marketing and waiting list, all this are lies without bug number of followers. Specially on X, people just follow popular people.
I just added new section to deepage landing page after the hero section it will show real screenshots from the app pages. I believe this section will make visitors understand more what they expect in the dashboard and what deepage will provide for them.
@maurice_build the best next move to do you for your website is to invest in SEO. you can use deepage to help you rank on the right way on Google and get your website recommended by AI Models.
X never works for me. I am publishing content here and on LinkedIn.
Here from 1 year i still just have 142 followers.
on LinkedIn I have 1000+ followers almost all of them CEO and Founders.
People here in X they just like to follow popular people. and ignore the value from none popular people.
