Building RankAsAnswer in public — starting today. Most sites rank #1 on Google but are invisible when ChatGPT answers the same query. That gap is what I'm fixing. 0 users. 0 MRR. Just the idea + code. #BuildInPublic #GEO #AISEO

@W33Z_global Building a tool that ranks the best answers to any question with real user votes + AI. Cuts through noise for creators & communities fast. Check it out: RankAsAnswer.com

@buildwithshyam RankAsAnswer started as a simple internal tool to track our own and clients citations. Turns out every brand we talk to has the same blind spot with AI overviews. Here's ours: rankasanswer.com

Its Sunday, founders! You already know what to do 😉 ---------------------------------- 📷 Share your product below, I’ll rate it out of 10 😃 ---------------------------------- \ (•◡•) / \ / —— | | |_ |_

@pcshipp The missing piece is distribution + customer obsession. AI builds fast, but humans still decide what spreads. Validate demand first via cold outreach or communities, then amplify what resonates. hope it helps.

AI can write code AI can analyze code AI can design UI/UX AI can write SEO content AI can optimize ASO AI can debug code AI can automate workflows But my SaaS still makes $0 MRR So what I'm missing?

I would talk to users first—$50k won't save a product no one wants. Their feedback reveals if marketing will convert or if you need targeted features/hires. Most early SaaS fails from assumptions, not lack of spend. Validate demand, then scale smart. That's the strategy i'm using for RankAsAnswer.

You just launched your SaaS. Then you suddenly receive $50k to grow it. You can do only one move: -Hire -Marketing -Build more features -Talk to users What are you doing?

The gap zone pull from GSC is the real unlock—18 years in IT taught me most tools die on the "now what" step. Our RankAsAnswer work shows the same loop needs visibility into how AI answers cite you, or content just spins wheels. How's the brand voice profile holding up after a few cycles?

I just built a Claude Code SEO agent that replaces your $200/mo. Ahrefs subscription 🤯 One prompt → keyword gaps found, competitors analyzed, content written in your brand voice, rankings tracked weekly. All inside Claude Code. Perfect for DTC brands and agencies who know SEO matters but never have the bandwidth to actually do it consistently. If your SEO workflow looks like this — log into Ahrefs once a month, export a CSV, skim it for 5 minutes, close the tab, tell yourself you'll write that blog post next week, never do... This agent runs the entire loop for you: → Connects to Google Search Console and pulls your real ranking data → Finds your "gap zone" — keywords sitting at positions 5-20, one article away from page 1 → Uses Apify to scrape who's outranking you and breaks down exactly why they're winning → Interviews you once about your brand, customers, and positioning — then never asks again → Writes content in your voice — not generic AI slop that tanks after 90 days → Tracks rankings weekly and feeds what's working back into the next cycle → Optimizes your product listings for AI shopping — so you show up when someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, not just Google No $200/month tools you open once and forget. No freelancers writing content that sounds like everyone else. No manually checking rankings and forgetting to act on it. What you get: - Keyword cards with a specific action recommendation for each gap zone opportunity - A competitive breakdown — who's beating you and the exact fix for each keyword - A weekly content plan generated from your real GSC data - A brand voice profile Claude uses for every article it writes - Product listing optimization for AI shopping (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) — the new SEO nobody's doing yet Built 100% in Claude Code with Google Search Console. I put together a full playbook with the skill files, brand interview, and the exact weekly workflow.

Exactly — "context ownership" is the real game. Most brands are optimizing for keywords. AI engines are selecting sources based on authority, structure, and how well content answers the full query. That's the gap RankAsAnswer measures — not just "are you cited" but why you're not. What's your take — is context ownership something brands can actively engineer or mostly earned over time?

@karamwise The AI SEO gap is massive. It's not just about ranking; it's about owning the *context* that AI uses. Good luck with the execution. 🚀

@randfish @LiveDatos @sparktoro Zero-click on Google is painful enough. Zero-citation in AI answers is the next wave nobody's tracking yet. Curious whether the report breaks down AI citation share vs traditional SERP presence?

Oh SNAP. New Q4 2025 State of Search report from @LiveDatos + @sparktoro just went live. Some highlights on the growth of AI Mode, Pinterest's impressive rise in searches/searcher, Gemini's growth rate > ChatGPT's declining use (for the first time ever!), and more 👇

The inconsistency is the real problem — you can't optimize what you can't measure consistently. Most brands don't even know they're being cited (or ignored) in the first place. That's what I'm building RankAsAnswer to track — AI citation visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini. What's your take — is brand tracking in AI tools even solvable?

NEW research: sparktoro.com/blog/new-resea… If you give ChatGPT the same request for product recommendations 100X, will you ever get the same list twice? And what does that answer mean for folks who try to track their brand presence in AI tools? Finally, some real answers 🧐

@jakezward Agreed! core SEO fundamentals are unchanged since forever. But AI search added a brutal new layer most ignore: do LLMs actually cite you or not? That's the real visibility gap now. We're building RankAsAnswer to track it.

If we're REALLY being honest: 1. AEO/GEO is mostly just SEO 2. Search Everywhere Optimization is just marketing 3. Claude can't replace your $10K/mo SEO agency 4. llms.txt and .MD files don't actually do anything 5. pSEO works but you (really) shouldn't abuse it 6. Google doesn't always tell us the truth 7. Users will always search and SEO will never die The noise gets louder but the core fundamentals haven't changed since the 2010s. Stay boring and keep building.

@csallen @Steve_Yegge That's awesome—bumping into Yegge over AI coding is the kind of random chat that sparks real ideas. What did you two end up chatting about?😀

I was working outside of Starbucks at the mall, and this guy on his laptop next to me started chatting to me about AI coding, and it turned out to be the one and only @Steve_Yegge!

@code_codeforge Totally agree—mutual support like this actually moves the needle for early builders. I'm working on RankAsAnswer.com, a tool that shows if ChatGPT/Perplexity cite your site in answers and helps improve it.

@JoshGalt @gregisenberg Exactly Josh. The login and approval stuff is a nightmare for regular businesses. I'm trying Hermes too but a bunch of accounts got banned already. Working on fixes now and I'll share what actually works. Self-hosting is cool in theory but the headaches are real.

be honest Postiz self-hosted requires developer apps for EVERY platform, so it's not as easy as just self-hosting something and voila automated social media posts. The .env.example from the official repo lists required credentials for each platform. What this means in practice: For each platform you want to post to, you must: 1. Go to that platform's Developer Portal 2. Create a new app 3. Configure OAuth callback URLs pointing to your Postiz instance 4. Get app review/approval (Instagram/Facebook especially are strict) 5. Copy the keys into Postiz environment variables 6. Hope the OAuth flow works GitHub issues confirm this pain: - Issue #1161: TikTok OAuth fails because client_key isn't configured - Issue #918: "Cannot add channels" — generic error when dev apps aren't set up - Issue #1328: X posts fail because API credentials are misconfigured --- Why post-bridge is $49/month? They take care of all that for you. No affiliation but for most of your audience probably, the $49/mo is going to be worth it to avoid weeks of headache getting your custom developer app from facebook approved for each client

startup idea for you use postiz (20k+ github stars project) to sell AI social media content/management to 1 niche of SMBs. what's postiz? it's an open source social media scheduler with AI built in. basically buffer + AI and free to download. 1. self-host postiz. use codex/claude code to help you figure this out in an afternoon. 2. pick one niche. dentists, realtors, lawyers. can even go a subniche like orthodentists vs dentists. family law over of lawyers. 2. wrap it in their language. "AI social media for dental practices" 3. add "we write your captions with AI" as the hook. that's what they're actually paying for. 4. plug it into n8n, make, or zapier so posting, scheduling, and approvals run on autopilot. the client approves with one tap. everything else is handled. 5. charge $50/mo-$100 per seat. that's nothing to a business paying $2,000/mo for a social media freelancer. you're 25x cheaper and 10x more reliable because the system runs whether you're awake or not. win-win for everyone. 6. build one landing page. run one onboarding call. that's the whole sales motion. 7. build media to attract customers. post tips for that niche on X, tiktok, youtube. become the "social media for dentists" person. 8. reinvest profits to build other tools that serve that same niche. scheduling, reviews, patient intake. build those tools or plug in more open source projects. now you own the vertical. these businesses KNOW they need to post. they hate doing it. they will never find postiz on github. they will google "someone please handle my social media." that's you open source is the new wholesale. the code is free. the customer relationship is where the margin lives. you can do this as one person. you can do this as a two person team. you don't need funding. you don't need an office. you need a laptop, a niche, and the willingness to start. someone is going to do this. might as well be you.

love this—niching Postiz into 'AI social for dentists' is smart execution. The real moat is consistent content that actually gets cited in AI answers like ChatGPT/perplexity. That's why I'm building RankAsAnswer to track exactly that for clients. How are you seeing SMBs measure ROI on these schedules beyond likes?

@hridoyreh That's crazy..

Went to bed with a $10 budget alert. Woke up to $25,672.86 in debt to Google Cloud:

@BacLeodiv Building RankAsAnswer — an AI search visibility tool that shows if ChatGPT/Perplexity actually cite your site. SaaS lane, shipping fast. Love connecting with other builders.

Builders on X What are you building right now? - Ios app - Android app - Saas - Content I want more builders on my timeline. Let’s connect 🤝🏻

@Zephyr_hg Solid list, especially the vertical agents. I built RankAsAnswer to track how often these tools actually get cited in ChatGPT/Perplexity. Turns out that visibility beats traditional SEO for early traction on agent and content plays.

50 AI businesses you could start this weekend. Pick one. Every idea comes with a revenue path, MVP scope, and exact tech stack so you're not guessing what to build or how it makes money. Organized into 5 categories: vertical agents, content tools, data infrastructure, edge AI, and services. Medical billing agents. Construction safety cameras. Prompt injection firewalls. Drone inspectors for solar farms. Each one scoped lean enough to validate in 48 hours with a simple ad or DM campaign. No more staring at tech trends trying to figure out where the money actually lives. Pick the lane that fits your skills and ship the tiniest possible version before your competition finds these ideas. Comment "IDEAS" and I'll DM it to you (must be following)

@starter_story RankAsAnswer might actually be one of these. Helping businesses know if ChatGPT/Perplexity etc. cites them — tiny niche, real pain, no dominant tool yet. Interesting that the best niches are invisible until someone names them.

@starter_story But it shows only a few, but great value.

The money is not in big ideas. It's in tiny niches. Like this one, that makes $16k/month:

@hridoyreh Great value, as many are upgrading to AEO/GEO so that they can get cited on major AI platforms, any suggestions?

1. Go to Google Search Console. 2. Select 3 months of data. 3. Tap Pages > open any URL. 4. Download the CSV file. 5. Open Claude and upload the file. Prompt: Analyze the file and identify which keywords are not used on [that page/content URL] but are still getting a lot of impressions. 6. Note these top keywords. 7. Use them on your existing content. You will see the traffic growth...
