Two brands can offer similar products, target the same audience, and have equally strong websites, yet one consistently appears in AI-generated recommendations while the other barely gets mentioned.

We've been exploring how factors beyond a brand's own website, including third-party mentions, reviews, comparisons, and category authority, influence these recommendations.

For solo makers, wearing every hat is almost unavoidable - developer, marketer, support, product and often designer too.

AI makes this even easier now. You can generate UI pretty quickly, but a lot of products end up relying on consistent, polished AI-generated solutions rather than something truly unique or thoughtfully designed for their specific product.

So I m curious:

Do you design the UI/UX yourself when building solo?
