Need your brutally honest feedback (this is not AI slop I promise)

I accept anyone's comments, I am thick-skinned, so be brutal but not rude please. The personalisation and sharpening is not AI. It is based on a huge accumulation of data.

Would really appreciate it if you answer the following questions:

1- If you see this screen in front of you, do you understand what it does?

2- Would you use this Pitch Maker if it gives you the ability to personalise it or sharpen it based on real facts and not AI slop?

3- Would this give you more confidence to cold outreach or still you think that cold outreach is not your thing?

4- How much would you pay for this (say up to 10 pitches per month)?

The reason I simplified everything in one screen is because it is very overwhelming and slow to go through each step manually, so I thought let's start from the end goal and work our way back with personalisation/sharpening.

Why I have de-indexed 10,000 pages from my site and why you should do the same.

My site (sports niche industry) currently ranks for 375 pages out of 10,209. All the pages that currently rank are ranking for 3rd party branded keywords.

My site doesn't rank for non-branded keywords because it doesn't contain non-branded content.

Those 375 pages that are currently ranking have an average position of 31.6 (page 4 of search results) and there are 219 keywords. Only 7 pages of the 375 pages drive clicks (including my homepage which is a branded page).

My site has indexed 3,498 pages but only 7 of those drove traffic and only 375 of those rank on average in page 4.

There is actually 0 risk of no-indexing the 10,000 pages and keeping only the self-branded keywords and some other non-branded posts that I am starting to create today.

So, why is there no risk? Because they do not rank high enough, and therefore do not drive any organic traffic.

Then why do I not leave them indexed? Because I think they harm the SEO.

Many SEOs do not believe they do, but I have coined the word "Forbidden Keywords" back in 2024 where I believe third party branded keywords could stop you from ranking your pages on page 1.

If you have 3rd party branded content and it is the majority of your content on your website, it is perfectly safe to noindex these pages and start doubling down on creating non-branded content that ranks.

Today this is how my site looks. I can update this post in 30 days to show you what happens when I populate my site with non-branded content.

Feel free to ask me anything.

What I learned from building an intelligence SaaS and why should not waste your money on doing the same mistake

Been building this sports intelligence app, so here's what I learned, I'll keep it short, been driving on average 2,000 visits per month:

1- Not a single user subscribed to track any company (free for up to 3 companies) 2- Not a single user signed for a free demo 3- Not a single user signed up for any pricing tiers (obviously) 4- Not a single user clicked beyond the upper fold of any page

The initial reason?

First couple of weeks after launching, I thought the reason was that I am not asking them to do any of the above. I thought I had an issue with CTA buttons.

I ruled out the distribution reason because I already drive 2,000 visitors per month and that's more than enough to yield a click here, a subscribe there, and a paying customer somewhere along the funnel.

The root cause reason?

99% of visitors to a website freeze when they land on a page. It's not fear, it's not focus, it's just they're not sure they want to go wherever you are taking them next.

Do not mistake this with the CTA buttons again. You can work on the best CTAs, if they're not sure, they're not clicking, so they ain't moving on to the next stage.

My app is very much stage related. Triggers, scenarios, decision trees, why act now, how to act now, what contacts, what pitch, send to one, or in bulk?

If you don't lay out your landing page in a sequence, showing the end journey of your session, they won't figure it out on their own.

It's not because they're not smart enough to figure it out. It's how everything works in life. You ever wondered why they draw lines on roads or in car parks? It's not because drivers can't figure out how to drive on the side of the road or on the right lanes, or if their car fits in the drawn lines in the car park. Nope, none of that.

It's because they love guidance. There's a reason why you begin your life being guided by adults, so that continues all your life.

When visitors land on your page, don't just make it readable to a 7 year old, draw the entire journey for them to walk through, they won't figure it out on their own.

Hope this helps.

PS: I use the app every single day, this is why I never gave up on it.
