François Mommens shares his journey of building three successful SEO SaaS tools after a failed startup.
In this episode, Jared Bauman sits down with François Mommens to discover how he built three SEO SaaS companies, including Linkody, IndexChecker, and LinkStorm. François shares the full founder journey, from an early failed business to growing Linkody over 13 years, reaching a few hundred paid customers, and relying entirely on organic traffic rather than paid ads. They also get into pricing experiments, competition from major SEO brands, product expansion, AI, work-life balance, and the "fake truths" many founders believe about success.
