Well, I would probably me more willing to give your bot a try than respond to the hundreds to thousands of emails from SEO companies I receive telling me that my website needs this or that... lacking traffic, ranking for the wrong keywords, despite the fact that they send me this PDF document with keywords that have nothing to do with my website.
The bot would certainly have to do more than send me those generated pdfs that the SEO companies think they can sell me on. But depending on its usefulness, I may willing to pay at least $5 a month. Although I admit, I am a hard sell.
But an assistant bot keeping me up to date on all things happening on my website? I've got over 1500 posts on one of my popular websites, so if the bot certainly kept tabs on everything and gave me all sorts of data.. whether via email or just an open chat channel, I'd say it'd be well worth it!
Some things I would definitely like:
1. how long does it take Google to index a new published post of mine?
2. are any of my current posts listed in google and if so, where? (page number, position number, search query, keywords, etc.)
3. what about other search engines?
4. suggestions about new articles to write based on current ones -- just new ideas from what it scanned
5. take an article and summarize it into like 5 bullet points for me (I'm big on summarizing blog posts for my readers)
6. I'd love to know what articles on my site are currently being shared on social media-twitter,pinterest,facebook,linkedin,etc.
7. I'm far too busy to engage in social media interactions, so if I had a bot to kind of do that for me, whether it sent out a post across all social media, and then checked, and even possibly replied, that'd be cool
And yeah? That last one... take my $10 :P
I seriously lack social media engagement... and I know it.
I know that is probably asking for a lot, but just throwing out some ideas and suggestions. Lots of potential!
- daoudc 10y agoThanks for the feedback! 1, 2, 3 and 4: definitely doable 5: tricky, probably impossible to do reliably 6: doable 7: without any manual interaction this could end up looking spammy. If you're happy with that, it could work. Also forgot to ask what platform people would prefer: Android, iPhone, Windows, OS X or Linux? Platforms like Messenger and Slack are probably out of the question unfortunately because the bot would have to be querying Google automatically, which is more reliable from your own IP.
- mattbgates 10y agoFor me personally, I'm more of a web guy.. I like things on the Internet and I like mobile-responsive design. Something that I can access from my phone -- whether on Android or iOS and it works, is great. As a developer myself, personally I just focus on that. Saves time and money and resources to just make it all responsive. Not knocking app developers at all, because more people DO prefer to go to the Android store or Apple store, but I prefer to hop on Chrome or Safari and navigate to the website and use a product.
