PageGone - Detect broken links in AI recommendations
Monitor whether links recommended by ChatGPT and other AI engines are still valid, so site owners can capture AI-driven traffic
- Problem
- A SaaS founder noticed growing traffic from AI engines like ChatGPT but had no idea if those recommended links were still valid or pointing to the right pages. If an AI-recommended landing page 404s due to a redesign or migration, the site silently loses potential users.
- Solution
- A lightweight link monitoring service. You submit your site's key URLs, and the system periodically simulates AI-engine recommendation queries to check whether those pages are cited, links are valid, and content still matches AI summaries. When a link breaks or is replaced, it alerts you via email so you can fix it and retain AI traffic.
- Users
- SaaS site owners, content site operators, and indie developers relying on organic traffic, especially early teams focused on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
- MVP
- Users add up to 5 key pages; system runs daily simulated AI recommendation link checks; detects 404s, redirects, and content changes; sends email alerts; includes a simple dashboard.
- Revenue
- Monthly subscription tiered by number of monitored pages and check frequency; optional one-time deep audit service.
- Why now
- AI-driven traffic is becoming a major source, but site owners lack monitoring tools. Indie developers can quickly validate demand with crawlers and simple AI APIs—no heavy infrastructure required.
