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.
