It took me 2 years to get to $10k MRR.
Never went viral, never grew with ads.
Never had an audience.
I just followed the advice of the ones who did it before me.
Here's the advice:
YO $10,000 ARR WITH @romeoseocom 😳🎉
3 months from Hello World to this
With Voicy (my other app) it took 11 months
The goal is $2k MRR by the end of the year💪
Chat SEO (aka Chat SE-MEOW) is now live in Romeoseo.com 🐈⬛🚀
Ask Romeo ANYTHING about your site's SEO
The answer will be 10x better than Claude
Because:
- He knows your Google Search Console
- He uses (costly) SEO APIs
- He got my super secret skill files
The stuff that took Voicy to 25,000 clicks per month.
Now available to you.
Just fyi, I HATE looking for backlinks.
This makes it way less painful.
You won't rank in Google or ChatGPT without them:(
Whenever my wife yells at me, I grab our baby (the cat) and whisper in his ear, "I'm sorry you come from a broken home."
This then activates my wife's buried childhood trauma.
She then stops yelling at me.

Met @marclou yesterday at the @cognition event in Dubai and MAAAAANNNN
I started watching Starter Story because of his video on there and I showed him my starter story feature, which felt like a weird full-circle moment😅
Even after he did his talk and Q&A, he was standing there for hours, surrounded by tons of people answering everyone's questions.
Honestly 10/10 kind of guy🫶
Also, @marclou now that you have money, can you tell me how to stop the dribble or does it still cost $4?
Daily hour at the gym✅
Whenever my brain’s not working, I just come down to my building’s gym
I honestly don’t care about losing weight, getting stronger, or whatever
But this is the best thing I do for my mental health
Do NOT make this AI SEO/AEO mistake please🙏🏻
CLICKS & IMPRESSIONS DONT MATTER
The only thing that matters 👉 Customers
Your AI agent is probably:
- Writing a million blog posts
- Prioritising high search volume opportunities
You look at your Search Console & see more impressions & clicks
But you don't see more customers?
Because your agent is working on the wrong pages
Do this instead:
1. Connect your AI agent to your analytics tool (I recommend posthog)
2. Tell your agent to create a new report with this prompt:
"Create me a report that lists out all of my pages, their visitor numbers, and the conversion %. For my product a conversion is [insert conversion rule here]"
Once you have the report, do this:
1. Tell your SEO agent to ONLY FOCUS ON PAGES THAT CONVERT
2. Give your agent the below prompt
"Go through my conversion report and my search console and find me the top 10 pages that I should focus on for improvements. Look at the pages that convert visitors into users, then look up their search performance within Google Search Console. Try to spot converting pages that are underperforming in search"
NOTE: This isn't a perfect SEO strategy. You need TOFU and MOFU pages too. But if you're just getting started, please just focus on your important pages.
EXTRA NOTE: Romeoseo.com does this automatically for you already (+more funky secret prompts) ;)
It’s so funny how the entire cybersecurity world is
1 guy saying “claude make this secure”
And another guy saying
“Claude hack this”
And the winner is whoever gets lucky with an unnerfed model
$500 MRR with Romeoseo.com 🥳
It took 3 months to get here
With Voicy ($12kMRR) it took 9 MONTHS!!!
Some learnings from this:
1. B2B is the faster route to MRR
My B2C product costs $8.49/month. I'd need 59 customers to reach this MRR.
With Romeo it took 6 customers
2. You get better with every new launch
You get a feel for what does and doesn't matter in the product.
E.g. with Voicy the V1 was overengineered, had way too many features nobody asked for, and was weird to use.
None of those issues with Romeo
3. I need a repeatable acquisition process
I got most of my customers from 2 X articles that did really well.
I obviously can't recreate that every day.
Gotta find a proper way to consistently get new users on board.
I'm thinking outbound, more articles, and (of course) SEO
you want her to be your top 1% nighttime connection
But you don’t have top 1% nighttime erections :(
My app got $12k MRR & 25k clicks/month 💸
All from my automated SEO system
Now I can do it for you too
FULL HONESTY
Romeoseo.com is a new product.
I know it works, but it's not perfect yet.
That's why I'm offering a 'managed' tier.
You sign up, I handle ALL of your SEO
Limiting this to a small number of people
I had such big plans for today...
Then Railway went down
Then I realised the latest update of my app had a regression
Then I had to build a new cabinet for my wife
It's funny how sometimes plans don't work out 😅
When I was making around $1k MRR, AppSumo reached out
They wanted to list my app with a lifetime deal of $200
BUT they wanted to take 80% of all revenue and “spend it on marketing my app” ☠️
To this day, I still don’t know why anyone would ever want to list their app there*
*except grifters who offer lifetime deals and shut down after 6 months
Everything I learned in the last 5 years of being an indiehacker
I hope this article helps someone❤️
It's not luck, it's just learning from your mistakes.
Writing articles on X is a growth hack😳
- 2 articles in 3 days
- +300 new followers
- Lots of new trials for my product 🥰
Should I just add this as a feature in romeoseo.com?
GO WRITE SOME ARTICLES RIGHT NOW!!
After 3 months I'm finally SO PROUD of romeoseo.com
The output is awesome (as if I had written it myself)
It just works
And my little cat mascot is everywhere
And MRR is slowly growing 🚀
Building products is a 10/10 hobby and a privilege❤️
