SEO and marketing decision

KillerEMD

A single competent developer can build and operate a useful Exact-Match Domain finder with provider integrations in about a week; the vendor page gives no evidence of irreproducible data or moats, so self-building is realistic.

Not priced

No pricing page we fetched carried a figure, so there is nothing to compare against. The build side is still real.

No published price to break even against.

No open-source build does this yet

Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.

What a replacement has to do

  • Ingest candidate domain/keyword lists, fetch ranking and search-metrics from providers, score domains by ease-to-rank and profitability, present sortable/filterable results

What it still won’t have

  • Proprietary aggregated datasets and historical SERP measurements
  • Any branded UX polish or onboarding flows
  • Managed integrations or commercial support
  • Potential paid integrations to large SEO platforms

What remains hard

  • Product polish and ongoing maintenance

Runnable build prompt

Not run yet
Build a minimal web app (Python + FastAPI backend, Postgres, React frontend) that helps a user find easy-to-rank exact-match domains. In scope: CSV/paste input of candidate domains/keywords; integrations to one SERP provider (or a simple rate-limited scraper) and one keyword-metrics provider; normalized storage of responses; scoring pipeline that flags exact-match domains, computes a difficulty score, and a profitability score (volume*CPC); searchable/sortable UI and CSV export; error handling for API failures, rate limits, and malformed uploads; unit tests for ingestion, scoring, and API handlers. Out of scope: multi-user billing, team collaboration, large-scale distributed scraping, and training proprietary models.

How the score was reached

  • Build verdict base78
  • Evidence score78

The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
