Idea type: Swamp

The market has seen several mediocre solutions that nobody loves. Unless you can offer something fundamentally different, you’ll likely struggle to stand out or make money.

Should You Build It?

Don't build it.

Your are here

Your idea for a website audit tool that checks brand representation in generative AI responses falls into a crowded space. The 'Swamp' category suggests that many similar solutions haven't resonated with users. We found 5 similar products, which gives us medium confidence in our assessment, but also signals competition. Engagement is low, with an average of only 2 comments across similar products. While there's no strong signal for use (either positive or negative), there's an indication people would want to buy this product, which is rare (top 5% of products). This indicates a potential willingness to pay for this type of service, but the challenge will be to differentiate yourself from existing solutions that haven't taken off.

Recommendations

  1. Given the 'Swamp' category, rigorously investigate why existing brand monitoring and optimization tools haven't achieved widespread adoption. Look at the products we found, such as AI Brand Rank and LLM Optimize, and understand what users criticized about them to avoid the same mistakes.
  2. LLM Optimize's launch highlighted user interest in AI-driven search and website audits, especially around actionable insights and affordable pricing. Focus on delivering tangible, measurable improvements in brand visibility within AI-generated content. Be very specific about how your tool enhances website ranking in the AI context.
  3. Instead of directly competing with established providers, consider building tools or features that enhance their existing offerings. Think about how you can partner with or augment existing SEO and brand monitoring platforms to provide specialized AI brand representation audits.
  4. Given the concerns raised about LLM Optimize, ensure your core value proposition is crystal clear. Explain how optimizing for LLMs specifically translates to improved website ranking and brand presence, using concrete examples and case studies.
  5. Before diving into development, conduct thorough market research to identify a specific niche or underserved group within the brand management space. Perhaps focus on a particular industry or type of business that heavily relies on AI-generated content.
  6. Develop a freemium model or offer a free trial with a limited number of audits to showcase the value of your tool. This allows potential users to experience the benefits firsthand and justify the cost of a paid subscription.
  7. Based on the positive buy signal, experiment with different pricing tiers and features to determine the optimal monetization strategy. Consider offering tiered pricing based on the number of brands monitored, the depth of analysis, or the level of support provided.

Questions

  1. What specific, unique insights can your tool provide that aren't already available through existing brand monitoring and SEO platforms, particularly regarding AI-generated content and LLM responses?
  2. How will you measure and demonstrate the ROI of your tool for users, showing concrete improvements in brand perception, customer engagement, or website traffic as a result of optimizing for AI-generated content?
  3. What is your plan to ensure the data privacy and security of the brand data you collect and analyze, especially given the sensitivity of brand reputation and competitive intelligence?

The x-axis represents the overall feedback each product received. This is calculated from the net use and buy signals that were expressed in the comments. The maximum is +1, which means all comments (across all similar products) were positive, expressed a willingness to use & buy said product. The minimum is -1 and it means the exact opposite.

The y-axis captures the strength of the signal, i.e. how many people commented and how does this rank against other products in this category. The maximum is +1, which means these products were the most liked, upvoted and talked about launches recently. The minimum is 0, meaning zero engagement or feedback was received.

The sizes of the product dots are determined by the relevance to your idea, where 10 is the maximum.

Your idea is the big blueish dot, which should lie somewhere in the polygon defined by these products. It can be off-center because we use custom weighting to summarize these metrics.

Seofor.ai – Track what all AI models say about your brand on one page

09 Jun 2023 Artificial Intelligence SEO

Hi HN! I'm Silver and i built SEO for AI (https://seofor.ai). It helps you track on one page what all the different LLM's out there say about your brand, company or product.I realized with all the LLM's out there that we won't be googling much anymore. Most of the answers to even our product questions will likely come from LLM's. It's super annoying to go search your company on like 5-6 sites (chatgpt, bing ai, bard etc.) and even more annoying to do it regularly, so I made it super easy by putting it all on one site and automating the detection of changes in answers.I initially focused on the personal data angle and people "googling themselves" and built HIBE (https://haveibeenencoded.com) and posted that on Hacker News as well: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35557548) but obviously the usecase for businesses for tracking brands seems more important given how people will likely learn about your product from AI chatbots in the future.I think the honest answer is that no one knows right now how this LLM wave will change the search landscape and the only obvious part is that it certainly WILL change search and it's time to start tracking and keeping an eye on what the AI's are saying about your brand and that's why I built this baby.It's FREE to use for one company, but if you're serious about tracking multiple keywords and companies, then I obviously want your help with my openai api bills. :)Hope you like it and let me know what would be cool to add in this early version?
