The problem in their words
People with new websites say search engines are ignoring them: the homepage is not "showing up in search results", pages are "not getting ranked", and "SEO progress is incredibly slow" after a month or more. Many say they already did the technical work, ran audits or tried tools, yet still "don't know where to start" on what to fix next to get visibility and clicks.

If you tested it
A headline for the page: “Find out why search ignores your new site, and what to fix first”
Test first: The riskiest assumption is that founders want an ordered fix list rather than another audit; sign-ups for a sample fix list on the landing page would show it.
- Build a one-page site that explains the problem, shows a sample ordered fix list for a new site, and asks visitors to leave their URL and email for their own list.
- Answer posts like these in SEO and marketing communities with a short, useful reply, and link the page for people who want their own ordered list.
- Count it a yes if a meaningful share of visitors submit their URL and email, and a few reply asking when they can get their list.
