Indie Dev Pivots B2B SEO SaaS Into a Self-Serve Edge Proxy for AI Crawlers
dr-dimitru · reddit · 2026-08-18
An indie developer who has run a B2B SaaS for SEO, organic traffic and AI-chat discoverability (SEO/AEO/GEO) for two years is pivoting to a self-serve model. Making integration a few clicks forced the service to sit as a proxy in front of client sites—issuing TLS certs, managing DNS, effectively becoming edge/CDN infrastructure.
Planned features: serve fast, clean HTML to AI agents and crawlers so new sites are LLM-readable from day one; fill missing meta tags on the fly; automatic IndexNow submission for faster indexing; and cookie-free, JS-free analytics for crawlers, bots and AI agents. The author asks whether "AI-readable + fast indexing" is a real pain point, whether users would accept a proxy/CDN layer, and what a free tier should include.
