Marketing content is a firehose
Ten thousand blog posts, none of them about your site. Nothing tells you which three things to do next, in what order, for the thing you actually built.
For vibe coders & indie devs
You shipped it. Nobody found it.
Handeo checks your site, tells you the two or three things to fix this weekend, and then actually checks whether it worked. Plain instructions you can act on in an evening, plus a real answer 7-14 days later — not just another dashboard to interpret yourself.
Connect a Domain with Google Search Console and bring your own AI key. No marketing background required — that's the whole point.
No signup needed — check if AI answer engines can even see your site:

The problem
The build barrier is gone. The distribution barrier isn't.
Claude Code, Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0 — shipping a real product stopped being the hard part. Getting anyone to see it didn't. Most first-time builders hit the same wall on launch day.
"I shipped it, I have zero users, and I genuinely don't know where to start."The single most common thing people say after their first AI-built launch.
SEO suites are built for agencies
Keyword explorers, crawl budgets, backlink gap analyses — priced and designed for teams who already know what those words mean. You wanted a to-do list, so Handeo hands you a short, capped list of fixes instead of a dashboard full of metrics to interpret yourself.
You never learn what worked
You change some meta tags, wait, and traffic does something. Was it you? Nobody checks, so every guess stays a guess and you stop bothering. Handeo's answer: every fix you try gets checked against the specific number it was predicted to move.
How Handeo works
Score it, test it, verify it. Then do it again.
Handeo runs a loop, not a report you read once and forget. Each pass through it gives you a small number of concrete things to do — and an honest answer about whether they moved the needle.
Connect a Domain
Link your site or shop through Google Search Console. Umami analytics is optional extra signal, not a requirement.
Takes a few minutes, onceBring an AI key
Bring an Anthropic API key so Handeo can write your suggestions — takes two minutes, and your AI costs stay yours, typically cents per report. No markup, no metered add-on from us.
Two minutes, cents per reportSee where you stand today
An SEO score, an AEO score, and a traffic snapshot, before you've fixed anything (we call this your Baseline Report). This is the line every later result is measured against.
Two scores, one honest snapshotPick a few things to fix
Handeo generates specific suggestions — "add metadata to page X, expect +2% traffic over 14 days" (we call each one a Hypothesis). You choose which ones to actually try (an Active Hypothesis) — deliberately only a handful at a time.
3-5 active, depending on your tierLet Verification judge it
7-14 days later Handeo checks that one Hypothesis against the specific number it predicted — not a dashboard trend, one stated claim compared to what actually happened — and emails you the outcome, including when it flops. Falsifiable means it's allowed to be wrong.
Raw before/after delta, no spinEach Hypothesis carries its own prediction and verification window. The reported delta is the raw before/after change — no seasonality adjustment, no smoothing.
Under ~100 clicks a month, a click-based delta is mostly noise — so for technical and AEO fixes (robots.txt rules, canonical tags, sitemaps) we verify that the fix actually landed and is still live, and track the trend alongside it, rather than claiming a percentage. We won't invent significance you don't have.
How Handeo compares
AEO isn't a €179/mo add-on here.
Ahrefs and Outrank are solid tools — built for people who already do SEO for a living. Here's where Handeo sits on price, and on the two things neither of their own product pages describes doing.
| Dimension | Ahrefs | Outrank | Handeo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry price for the full product | €119/mo (Lite) — the smallest tier with a full site audit | $99/mo — single tier, no cheaper option exists | €0 to start; paid tiers from ~€19/mo |
| AEO / AI-answer-engine scoring | Brand Radar, a separate add-on from €179/mo on top of a paid plan — roughly €298/mo combined for SEO + AEO | Not offered — no AEO or AI-visibility feature on Outrank's own marketing pages | Included in your baseline, not a paid add-on — scored from your first Baseline Report, every tier |
| Checks a change against its own prediction | Rank Tracker shows movement over time, but nothing ties a tracked change back to one stated hypothesis | No results-tracking feature found on Outrank's primary pages — no GSC or analytics integration mentioned | Every Active Hypothesis gets an automated 7-14 day Verification against the exact number it predicted |
Figures pulled directly from Ahrefs' and Outrank's own pricing and product pages, not resellers — pricing changes over time, so treat these as a snapshot. One honest caveat: Ahrefs' Brand Radar draws on a database of 473M+ real search prompts, a materially deeper AEO measurement than anything Handeo can build cheaply in the near term. Handeo isn't claiming to match that measurement depth — the claim is that AEO scoring is part of your baseline at this price, not a separate purchase.
AEO, not just SEO
People stopped searching. They started asking.
Answer Engine Optimization is discoverability inside AI assistants — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, AI Overviews. If those systems can't crawl or can't cite you, you're invisible to the audience that never opens a results page at all.
Classic SEO asks
- Do you rank for the query?
- Does the page get clicked?
- Who links to you?
AEO asks
- Can the named AI crawlers actually fetch your pages, or does robots.txt quietly block them?
- Is your content indexable enough to be eligible for AI answer surfaces at all?
- Does a page contain concrete, citable facts an assistant can lift into an answer?
Handeo scores AEO alongside SEO in every Baseline Report — no separate purchase. The score is built on today's verifiable signals, crawler access and indexability, not a black-box number. No answer engine publishes a citability metric yet, so we measure what's provable.

Who it's for
Built for the vibe coder.
Not agencies, not in-house SEO teams, not anyone who already owns a keyword strategy. Handeo assumes you have never done this before and are not planning to start now.
The vibe coder
You, if you used an AI coding tool to ship your first app or website and have exactly zero marketing background.
- Your product works and you're proud of it
- Your analytics have been flat since launch day
- You want instructions, not a curriculum
Also works if you sell your own work from your own shop — same Search Console connection, same Hypothesis loop.

Pricing
Priced by how many experiments you can run at once.
The cap on Active Hypotheses is the real difference between tiers. It exists because Verification checks each one individually against its own prediction — running five changes at once is already about as much as you can honestly attribute anything to. Handeo has no billing yet, so every signup starts on the Free plan's cap of 3 today — Pro and Managed's higher cap turns on for you once billing opens.
