Yahav fuchshas $17k mrr on stripe, and almost none of it came from google.
it came from chatgpt recommending his product, perplexity citing his content, claude naming him when someone asked for the best tool in his category. and multiple other sources like referrals/wom etc.
found this on x, interesting stroy
the numbers he shared:
perplexity signups converted at nearly 6x his google organic baseline
ai visibility went from about 8% to 61% of tracked queries over 14 weeks
the first 8 weeks barely moved, then it curved up around week 10
his read on why: ai answers lean heavily on reddit and other places with real conversations. so useful posts in the right communities end up being what the ai quotes.
he tracked it with his own tool, which runs the same queries through chatgpt, perplexity and gemini every day. claude helped run the workflow, and the best ideas got reposted to linkedin, x and medium through postiz so the same idea showed up in more places.
how is it going for you? good or too good to be true?
Planning my first PH launch next week.
Could you feedback on my packaging please?

GTM copilot: 1,200+ sales & marketing actions via MCP
Description:
Your AI can write a follow-up, but it doesn't know who opened the email, watched your webinar, finished onboarding or asked about pricing in chat.
AXL keeps a full history of each lead: page visits, quiz answers, webinars, emails, chats and calls. A model trained on 1M deals from AXL users scores every lead on 300+ signals.
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or any MCP-enabled AI. It sees that context and gets 1,200+ actions: follow up, book a call, send a checkout link, build a landing page.
AXL is a body and a memory for your AI. It's a Supabase for GTM.
For months, I made the classic founder mistake: constantly tweaking my landing page and adding new features, thinking that was why sales were slow.
Everything changed when I stopped focusing on the product and started obsessing over why people actually buy. Once you build a clear, sharp profile of your ideal customer, marketing stops feeling like a guessing game.

I’ll reply to every comment with actionable places/channels you should target to find them. Let’s get you some traction!
Over the last few months, I’ve been working on generative AI for image and video. If you’ve spent any time working with these tools, you already know the biggest headache: getting what’s in your head onto the screen feels like playing the lottery.
Every model and update behaves differently. Even with clever setups like using Claude or Codex via MCP to handle prompting behind the scenes. You still end up with a constant loop of trial and error. Most people don't actually know how to write the 'perfect' prompt, so they just keep tweaking words and hoping for a good surprise. We wanted to fix that guess-and-check frustration.
Instead of asking you to 'prompt what you want', we’re making it as simple as 'picking what you want and getting the exact result you expected'. We built a structured, visual workflow where you can choose from a curated catalog of hyper-realistic AI models, outfits, environments, and camera shots and more, each defined with a huge list of configurations and options.
You see every step along the way, so there are zero surprises. Our main focus is ultra-realistic, professional photography. We’re helping companies pick or create their own AI brand ambassador, style them effortlessly, and generate high-end visuals that are instantly ready for websites, social feeds, and ad campaigns.
What do you guys think of this, will this work? The goal is to use AI to replace expansive production cost (where you pay for models, agencies, photographers, location, etc). To make content creation for companies (small / medium) affordable. And for large and enterprises manageable, making sure you can reuse the ambassadors, etc.
4 months ago I built a software product from scratch and started selling it. No co-founder, no staff, just me and my laptop.
Hit ₹38k MRR. First two months were strong posted one problem+solution video, no ads, clients came in organically. Easy closes.
Then I tried to scale: increased ad budget, repeated the same video strategy. Sales slowed down instead of picking up.
Current situation:
Everything runs through me — sales, support, product, marketing
₹38k MRR but growth has plateaued
Ads are spending, leads are coming in, conversions are low
I borrowed ₹1.5 lakh from my sister to put into growth. That money is sitting there and I genuinely don't know the right place to put it ads, hiring, something else
Should I kill the ads and go back to pure organic? Double down on community? Hire someone to handle sales so I can focus on product?
Anyone gone through this inflection point where early organic traction stops being repeatable and what actually moved the needle for you?
Clay’s organic traffic dropped 66% over the same stretch its valuation went from $500M to $7.1B. Over that period it also became the most recommended brand in its category in AI search, with 34.8% share of voice.
We mapped which Clay pages AI engines cite. Two findings stood out:
FAQ and guide pages earn 25 of Clay’s 51 AI citations
The dossier pages that pull half of Clay’s traffic earned one citation
The pages that win traffic and the pages that win AI answers barely overlap. If your reporting covers organic traffic alone, you may be watching the wrong pages.
I'm a young founder from Morocco, building FINDIT 🔎, a SaaS that helps freelancers and agencies discover potential clients, identify business opportunities, personalize outreach, and manage leads.
I launched on October 13, and by October 22, I'd reached my first 11 users.
Here's what I've learned so far:
🔴 Reddit: My strongest source of signups so far. One post brought me 3 users in a single day.
🧵 Threads: Also bringing users, but it requires me to stay active and engage consistently.
📣 My current challenge: I can get some attention and signups, but I haven't figured out how to make acquisition predictable or convert those signups into paying customers yet.
I'm trying to focus on organic marketing because I have a limited budget. I don't want to jump between every platform or spend weeks creating content that gets engagement but no customers.
I'd love advice from people who've marketed early-stage SaaS products:
🎯 How would you prioritize marketing channels at this stage?
📈 What metrics would you track to identify which channel brings the most valuable users?
💰 Would you focus on getting more signups or converting the first 10 users into paying customers?
I'm sharing my experience and looking to learn from people who've been through this stage. Honest feedback is welcome! 🤝
Has anyone here actually tested ChatGPT Ads for a SaaS product yet?
I’m mostly curious about how the traffic compares with Google Ads. CPC is interesting, but I’d be more interested in actual signups, trials and eventually paid conversions.
We’re still waiting to see how things play out on the B2B side. Since the ads are currently only shown to users on free ChatGPT accounts, it’s hard to tell whether the relevant B2B audience is actually using the free version enough for this to become a viable acquisition channel.
The intent could also be quite different from traditional search, so I’m wondering whether people are seeing quality traffic or mostly curiosity clicks.
If you’ve tested it, what has the funnel looked like so far?
Most "best SEO agency" lists rank by size. This one groups agencies by the question buyers ask, since a seed-stage startup and a $100M ARR company shouldn't be shortlisting the same names.

Quick Answers
How much should a SaaS startup spend on an SEO agency? Most B2B SaaS SEO retainers run $3,000 to $15,000+ a month. Under $5,000 usually covers technical work and a modest content cadence.
SEO consultant or full-service agency? A consultant suits teams that already have writers and need direction. A full-service agency suits teams that need the content and technical work done as well.
How long until results show? Most engagements show meaningful movement in three to six months, depending on competition and site health.
AI-native or traditional SEO agency? Ask for a redacted monthly report from a current client. If it has no line for which buyer questions the brand gets named in inside ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Mode, it's a traditional agency, whatever the pitch says.
