Vibe-coded TrustMRR hits ~5M impressions in 5 months, founder declares SEO dead
marclou · x · 2026-08-29
Marc Lou's vibe-coded product TrustMRR, a website only 5 months old, is approaching 5M impressions after earlier crossing 1M impressions on a single piece of content. He again declares "SEO is dead" — growth for new sites no longer depends on traditional search optimization, with AI answer engines (AEO) and social distribution taking over. A clear signal for indie makers' acquisition strategy.
