Why we're building this.

earlyseo is a one-person company. The founder writes the code, ships the changelog, and answers the support email — every claim on the site is something one person stands behind.

The category we're competing in (Surfer, Frase, Outrank) leans on inflated hero-banner stats — we don't have those numbers. Instead we show whatever's real, in real time, queried from the database on every page render.

Our angle: most SEO tools were built for a search engine that ranks pages. Increasingly, the more important search engine is an LLM that cites pages. We optimize for the latter — short quotable claims, scannable lists, source-grounded definitions — while still ranking for the former.
