I built a whitelabel website audit tool to help agencies close more deals. I need your feedback about the reports

Hello r/growmybusiness

I have noticed that agencies which provide services like Web Development, Digital Marketing,Conversion Rate Optimization,SEO services etc use free audit reports to attract their customers & close more sales

I realised that there are quite a few providers out there churning out these lengthy audit reports for SEO, Ecommerce, Google My Business etc

I see two major problems with these reports

  1. They tend to be way too long and, frankly, not very easy to digest at first glance.
  2. They often rely on a mix of Google Lighthouse data and a bunch of manual checks, which, in my opinion, are outdated

Honestly, I think these approaches are outdated and not all that helpful in today's fast-paced digital landscape. Hence I built a tool which creates highly personalized audit reports completely automated using AI

Here are a few examples:

  1. Sample Website Audit 1:
  2. Sample Website Audit 2:

Calling out all entrepreneurs out there!!

I'd genuinely appreciate it if you could give me your unfiltered, honest feedback on the product and how I can further refine these audits & make these useful.

Thanks a ton in advance

making $5k/mo and still failing? Please provide some feedbacks - story of an immigrant

i am failing at #buildinpublic

its hard as an immigrant🇨🇦to manage side projects while dealing with a survival job

there r a lot of great indiehackers ik do great job at managing their 9-5 + indiehacking/services

i am currently struggling between 2 diff mindsets: Indiehacker and reg employee

I am doing a survival off-field job as I recently graduated

I am also trying to apply for the full-time Software Engineer jobs

but Indiehacking stuff is keeping me mentally occupied

currently I have a contract work as a lead software dev for a US based company but that doesn't count as an experience here in Canada

I am also doing a marketing Gig for promoting and launching 7+ software products for an Indian company

On the side I also started my French classes to learn French and apply for my PR using French draws to secure my PR in Canada I need a full-time job which requires totally diff mindset than indiehacking

I have huge fear if I leave indiehacking I will loose what I have gained so far specially on the money side which I am getting paid as a lead software dev + marketer from both the contracts I have right now

and If I continue it I fear that I won't be able to secure my PR in Canada (which is really imp for me)
I am unable to keep the balance between these things

for the first few months it was really great

but now I think I am really burning out with all the mess I have created

i seriously don't know how to deal with all this mess

I've got time but in that time I am staying lost, panicking about all the work I have nd how to manage it.

I think I am loosing the mindset here

this shittt is affecting my productivity too

what should I do ?

I am not getting the space to be creative, productive and specially I am not getting the time to think about and apply for the full-time jobs which I need here in Canada to live

should I leave all the contracts right now and start focusing on securing a software engineer job here ?

how can I deal with all the work stress I have right now ?

how can I get more productive again ?

all I wanted was Software Engineer contract which I have now but it is not helping me in any way right now

how should I deal with the decreased income? I don't want my income to decrease.

and most importantly I am unable to find inspiration, correct mindset and right people to talk with and get mentorship from

if anyone can guide me then it would really help

is there any good time management book you can recommend?

is there any book or any course, video tutorial that teaches how to grow a company by hiring right people and automate stuff to keep growing ?

ps- I am currently making $5k / mo since last 2 months .. I am really happy with what I have come to achieve. I started my Indiehacking journey only 9 months ago.

pps- I don't like to share about my personal life anywhere. I am sharing this much info about whatever I am going through for the first time anywhere as idk how I can deal with such situation.

How to go from 1st client to 2-3 clients?

Hey r/growmybusiness, in December 2023 I posted "How to start a cold email business?"

In December itself I got my first client thanks to your helpful comments (and some mean ones but we ignore those) and have been working with him for almost 4 months now.

Amazing journey and amazing results for him. He's closed one 8k deal and has another 8k and 18k deal on the way. All through cold email lead generation.

I'm here to no 1 thank you guys for giving me the direction I needed.

And no 2 ask what the next best thing to do is. I'll be getting a testimonial from him soon. And I'm preparing to start cold emailing for myself.

I've got a domain but haven't built a website yet.

What would you say is the next best step to grow my business?

Btw for those who haven't read my previous post, here's what I do:- I help b2b companies get 5-10 qualified leads (have money+show up on calls) every month.

Feedback Required - Improving our agency portfolio

I run a digital marketing and web design agency and did a lot of projects and all of our portfolios were scattered and not organized (mainly because of time constrain) to showcase in front of new potential clients.
Recently I started to work on it and now launched a YouTube channel and recorded dedicated feedback videos from some of the clients and more is in the pipeline.

I am asking for any recommendations and feedback from the community about my approach and how can I make it better or is there anything I am missing or need to consider.

Please have a look and let me your valuable feedback.

I am open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

How to grow my multi-media company?

Hi everyone, I'm one of the co-founders of Forbidden Origins, a publisher of books, comics, and graphic novels.

We have been at this for about three years now, with our debut novel being 'The Old Universe'.

I was wondering if anyone on here could provide me with some insight on:

1: As a publishing company that was started on publishing books, comics, and graphic novels, we have begun to branch more into becoming a Multi-Media company. We have plans for video games, board games, toys, and apparel down the line. With all that being said, are there any investors that invest in multi-media companies? Our social media pages are growing, and sales are great, so is it time to look into investors to help take us to the next step? How does that work?

Any and all insight helps. Thank you!!!

How to automate my business?

I run an e-commerce store of apparel on e-commerce platform known as "meesho" in India. I want to automate my business. I don't want my stock/inventory to get stolen. I want to keep watch on my employees. I thought putting cctv camera and a security guard might help but what if my employees damage my stock with that guard? I don't know how to keep record of every single piece of stock I own because my one product contains multiple components and generally when I get returns from my customers, sometimes few components get missing. That keeps me thinking what if my staff stole some components of May be they exchanged components one with another mistakenly, so I feel hard to keep track on that. Also it's hard to find employees because the work that want in my company doesn't need fancy degree or qualifications, simply just packing product in packaging material and sticking label those kind of jobs I'm able to provide to employees at this time, but can't Post for such jobs on job portals such as LinkedIn or naukri.com . Also I named so many sku's to my products but my employees find hard to remember that so want some solution that if employee scan some barcode on product they will be able to see image of product of find easily my product something like that. Also training an employee takes so much effort and time after training them still they commit mistakes. Also I have another work that is to list products regularly on platform but for that I have to give access to seller account to someone that can potentially dangerous if that employee make unwanted changes or may take control from me of that seller account. I tried to find user access option but there is no such option available on platform. I want that without my presence my business getting functioning and grow. I heard it's possible through systems but I don't know what that means? Can someone guide me step by step what should I do to automate my business?

How to get influencers to work with my brand as a affiliate?

In basic, I'm a brand offering a service. I'm looking to build referral relationships leveraging our affiliate portal.

I've contacted so many influencers, they all want upfront payment for promo.

We are offering a nice commission, I think it's a pretty solid deal but they aren't interested.

Any advice on how I can get them to agree to an affiliate relationship?

Feedback on my idea: where do you get your news?

Edit: the link below uses the ‘score App’

Good evening all,

I’m an attempt to start a business and move away from perpetual thinking and procrastination I would like to receive feedback on my newest idea before I begin an MVP.

I will attach a link at the end to my landing page

I have the goal of revolutionising the way we receive our news and media to make it personalised and focussed on what YOU want to see when YOU want to see it.

I would like feedback on where you receive your news and content, are you searching multiple times a day to find this content? Does this take away from your task at hand?

Do you have a routine when your look at the news/content?

Finally, is there any other media you look at regularly? Articles/images/videos?

Thank you all for taking the time to read the post.

Matt

Also, anyone who has any copywriting needs drop me a DM if ya want some help for free :)

The difference between a cold email that gets ignored and one that gets a response?

Data.

Analyze your past emails, track what works, and iterate for success.
When cold emailing, focus on building a relationship first, not just making a sale. People buy from those they know, like, and trust.

Shipping Solution Business Idea Feedback

Hey all, I'm looking into developing a hypothetical new business for a uni course that aims to provide a new end to end international shipping solution that would make trade more accessible for smaller business requiring shipment through freight containers.

Ideally I'd like to get a first hand understanding if any small business are currently having any issues with international trade when growing the amount of sales and what they are.

Would an end to end business model help with stock managment for smaller business's.

Would providing a tailored shipping / logistics solution for each customer be benifical in improving your workflows or are businesses currently happy with current shipping arrangments.

Thanks everybody for you help :).

My 2024 journey out of my experiences: Employment Engagement Platform. Now time to get some feedback

so i have been doing some thinking lately, and I realized something that i think i'm not alone in feeling a bit shy about starting conversations or speaking up in meetings, especially when it comes to sharing opinions or concerns, even if they're technical.

not sure whether it's because upper management isn't as transparent as i'd like, or it's tough to communicate with folks in different departments, or just feeling like our voices aren't being heard, it can be pretty frustrating.

this is how I got the first (rough) idea about my new startup that is called Peakatic.com, and it's like a solution straight out of my own experiences. it's all about making a platform to share, talk, and read what others have to say without all the face-to-face pressure.

i have designed it to tackle some of the daily challenges I ( & I guess some of my colleagues too) face almost on a daily basis and here's a quick rundown:

Survey Engagement: leads can create surveys to share our experiences and findings, either publicly or anonymously.

Communication: people can give each other feedback on technical issues or professional behavior, privately or publicly.

Setting Goals: lead and managements can monitor our progress with goals and deadlines.

Continuous Talk: can have regular meetings to track progress.

Analytics: where can keep track of progress and spot any issues & there are more features that I am thinking of, but fairly enough for MVP I guess.

it's result of few days only and I have been working on this during my weekends and holidays, and honestly, the biggest challenge for me now is getting the word out. I'm not quite ready to pitch it to my company yet, I want to make sure it really solves the problem first.

so, if you're feeling the same way I do, let me know! I'll hook you up with a link and credentials so you can give Peakatic a try. and I really appreciate any feedback!

Why is Perplexity in such a hurry to start advertising?

Perplexity, an AI search engine that just finished a $70 million Series B funding round to take on Google Search, announced it will start selling ads, as reported by ADWEEK.

In their official announcement, they said the "Related” section in search results will be the first to open up for brand advertising. When users explore a topic more, Perplexity will add questions sponsored by brands next to the regular questions, and more related ads will show up when users click to find out more.

API documentation is annoying - so I made this to automate the creation and updation of API documentation - Looking for feedback

The Problem: As a developer, manually updating API documentation is a nightmare. I've spent countless hours on it, only to miss crucial details or make mistakes. And outdated or inaccurate docs frustrate users and devs alike. 😭

The Solution: After brainstorming and coding, I've created apicall.ai – an innovative AI solution that revolutionizes API documentation. With just a cURL request, it automatically generates comprehensive docs. But the best part? As your API evolves, apicall.ai keeps the docs in sync through an interactive chat interface, instantly updating them.

I need your help.

  • If you've struggled with API docs before, DM me your experiences - what worked, what didn't?
  • Checking out the landing page? Let me know what's clear and what's confusing.
  • If you're interested in getting early access to apicall.ai and providing feedback, join the waitlist or DM me.
