RankUP
The next-level SEO solution

Dear Friends,
I am currently following the program provided by a Startup Accelerator called “Founders Institute“.

I also have created a new company called “Innobia” that sells our main product “RankUP“.

The idea of RankUP is to leverage on existing functionality that most of you already know from our websites SNBCHF and Economicblogs.org.

These sites are already able to do the following:

  1. able aggregate content from other websites and put it into our site.
  2. and additionally filter on freely definable keywords.
    Example: we could define the keyword “Swiss National Bank” or “SNB” and it only finds posts with this keyword, either in the title of the post or inside the full text and writes it into the category SNB.
  3. New content is always published again – automatically.

Therefore we call it a “keyword-based auto-blogger”. It terms of a startup it is the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

While SNBCHF and Economicblogs were mostly for publishing our authors’ ideas to a wider audience, we have taken now the steps towards a more “commercial business”, namely sell the auto-blogger.

We are now providing the auto-blogger to any business that would an own blog to achieve a higher Google ranking. A blog typically improves the position in a Google search by 300%.

It is important to use the keyword functionality in (2) to publish the content that is really relevant for the client. Only focusing on relevant content, the Google ranking can be improved.
This is a form of Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

I am using this occasion to celebrate that Founder Institute have liked my idea and have passed the next step in this challenging program.

For anybody interested in doing a startup, I also share some feedback that I obtained from these mentors:

  • Investors want to see hard numbers, like the one you see above
    “improves the position in a Google search by 300%.”
  • Investors want to see how big the market is and at which rate it grows.
    We are target small Swiss companies that are open to new technologies.The whole SEO market in the U.S. is about $80bn; this implies $4bn for Switzerland.
    The share of small companies in Switzerland is 40% in terms of employees, hence 1.5 billion Swiss Francs. (Remember in German a billion = 1 Milliarde :-).Our segment is then about half of it, given that we only focus on one SEO area, the so-called Digital Marketing and on customers that are open to new technology.
    At the end, we arrive at a market of 200-500 million CHF that these companies are spending today. The growth rate in Digital Marketing has been 17% in 2021 and is expected to be 13% in 2022.

Do not hesitate to provide feedback and feel free to ask any question.

Yours George Morgan
