Show HN: I built a tool to automate SEO cross-linking of my articles

I'm a lazy person. Especially when it comes to repetitive tasks that I can automate. And since I've started writing regularly this annoying repetitive task for me was the SEO. Every time I add a new essay I need to figure out how to cross-link it from all of the other of my articles, and the more I write the harder it becomes to find suitable essays.

So how does it work you ask? Great that you asked:

1. You as a customer register and add your domain, Trial period starts.

2. The tool automagically finds your sitemap.xml (hopefully it will be at domain.com/sitemap.xml otherwise the automagic wont work)

3. Then the tool indexes the content, extracts keywords, does some more magic to understand which link goes where.

4. The tool generates links in the database that you can delete/modify.

5. You receive a small JS snippet that you need to add to the footer that will transform the relevant keywords into a link to some other page that is highly relevant.

6. Set up and forget, and reap the benefits of improved SEO.

The whole tool is built with Python, I have automated CI/CD with Github, I host on DigitalOcean (because I still got some balance there), I use some algorithms that I found on the internet to extract keywords + I use some algorithms that I found on the internet to extract content, even if it's not an article-type page (this was quite an annoying challenge to solve, but very rewarding). Everything is combined with some LLM magic and vector database for search / comparison.

I've already gotten some beta users testing the software, which is quite surprising. Apparently there are AI directories that are scanning the Twitterverse for AI tools, and you can get onto this directory and they will send traffic to you for free. (Though someone gave me a one star rating, because the onboarding failed with an 500 error, thank god I saw that in sentry and fixed quickly. Rookie bug, but it works!)

Here's the URL: https://seojuice.io

I'm mostly looking for feedback on all aspects — tech, improvements, ideas, vision, marketing, positioning.

What do you think?

Cheers, Vadim
