Nobody types "browser extension text to speech for self-published fiction" into Google; they type "Wattpad listening" or "listen to Royal Road stories", one platform at a time. Andrei's SEO plan targets exactly those queries: run keyword research seeded from the platforms he supports, mine the keyword profiles of incumbents like Eleven Labs for proven intent, and publish a targeted article at a near-daily cadence, beginning before launch so the compounding clock starts early. The insight is that a niche tool does not need a content brand, it needs to be the answer to the precise search its buyer types on the day the need appears, and long-tail platform-plus-intent queries are both cheap to win and pre-qualified. Your established competitors have already paid to discover which keywords convert; their ranking pages are a free content plan. Read them, pick the intersection with your niche, and outpublish them where they are too big to bother.
