独立开发者获客指南：从目录分发到 SEO/GEO 的低成本冷启动

Introduction: The Indie Hacker's Discovery Problem

You've built a great SaaS, AI tool, game, or devtool. But if nobody finds it, it doesn't matter. For solo founders, getting initial traction is often harder than building the product. This guide covers a low-cost cold-start strategy: directory distribution and SEO/GEO content, and how Growth Engine can automate it.

Why Directory Distribution Works

Submitting your product to curated directories (like Product Hunt, AlternativeTo, or niche lists) can drive early traffic and backlinks. According to a study by Ahrefs, the majority of web pages get no organic traffic, but directories often have high authority and can give your site a visibility boost. (待补充)

SEO/GEO Content: The Long-Term Play

Creating content that answers your target users' questions can attract organic search traffic. With the rise of AI search engines (GEO - Generative Engine Optimization), it's crucial to be cited by AI models. A well-structured content hub on your own domain can establish topical authority.

• Attribution: Tracks Google Search Console performance and AI mention tracking to see what converts.
