NAME OF STARTUP: SEOify
FOUNDED IN (Year): 2023
FOUNDER’S NAME: Justin Phillips
THE IDEA: What is the problem being solved by your startup / business?:
SEO can be difficult, especially for people new to SEO. We wanted to make SEO easier for everyone. Until the release of AI there wasn’t an easy to way to implement critical SEO changes to websites.
Our AI SEO tool allows for websites to optimize critical parts of their SEO strategy with the help of AI. From title tag optimization to internal linking SEOify allows our users to have their sites continually optimized based on real time feedback from tools like Google Search Console, Ahrefs and other popular SEO tools.
THE FOUNDER’S STORY: When and how did you come up with the idea for the business?:
I’ve been in the SEO industry for quite some time and after talking with thousands of clients realized the critical part of SEO was often overlooked due to how boring those processes were. The key missing ingredient was the release of AI and popular tools like ChatGPT which now allows us to automate nearly all aspects of “boring” SEO.
WHO IS THE CUSTOMER: What is the typical profile of your target customer? Where would they be located?:
Our target customers are businesses with an online presence, from ecommerce stores to SaaS businesses. Any business that’s online and can benefit from Google search traffic can benefit from SEOify.
We focus on business owners that want to free up their marketing time and spend and automate a majority of their onsite SEO.
