Hey ProductHunters 👋!
My name is Christian Thurston, co-founder at SearchEye. We’re pumped to launch SearchEye for the first time, and it’s been 2 years since we began building the product.
What does SearchEye do?
👀 Brands: You get access to publishers for mentions, referral links, and quotes.
This drives traffic, revenue, and brand awareness by getting your company in front of new audiences. Building your brand signals drives users directly, and these signals are also valued by search engines.
📰 Publishers: We connect you with brands who provide quotes, data, and information that makes your content better. You get compensated, and you can choose which approaches you accept.
SearchEye is the marketplace that connects the two.
Why this matters for you
The two most valuable assets you can have for distribution is a strong brand, and an organic search moat. Acquiring brand signals drives both of these things.
Why we’re working on this
Both of the co-founders have run services businesses for 5+ years helping brands get visibility, traffic, and revenue from organic search. We know firsthand that brand signals are everything. At the same time, generating these signals was difficult, time consuming, slow, and expensive.
We often found ourselves doing massive outreach campaigns where we would reach out to 50,000 publishers and sites, and would end up with 50 publishers who would work with us. Everyone in the industry was doing the same thing.
Simply put, outreach should not exist. This is the perfect use case for a marketplace. So we decided to build it.
Next steps
Brands: If you want more brand awareness, and growth please consider signing up.
Publishers: If you want to work with incredible brands please consider signing up.
Everyone: I’d love your feedback and comments below. I’ll be actively responding to notes and comments!
💗 Thanks!

As an agency owner, it's hard to find solutions that allow you to scale without quality issues. SearchEye really developed a great platform to help us and our clients connect and get published on top-tier sites. Really solid platform, and great team behind it. :)
What needs improvement
Overall, it's really great. Nothing major, but just like any SaaS, UI can always be improved. But no major complaints!
vs Alternatives
I haven't really found anything quite like it, so it's hard not to choose! When compared to alternatives like other agencies or freelancers, there can be issues with price transparency, quality, and consistency. With SearchEye, everything is clear, so it's easier to scale. Super reliable.
Did mentions lead to measurable organic traffic growth?
Yes, our clients have been seeing great results due to the placements we were able to get from SearchEye.
How transparent is pricing and per-placement cost?
Very transparent and clear. You know what you're paying for.
How are sponsored versus editorial placements labeled?
Everything is clear and transparent, so it's clear in each specific case.
Didn't get the results I was hoping for. Submitted many high-quality and high-DR blogs for links and quotes, but received no response or requests. And the response time of the team is also extremely slow. Reached out to them to understand why this is happening, but got a response after days! I had even waited for 7+ days to get at least one quote for my article from SearchEye but ended up with nothing. Won't recommend it to other writers who are looking to get relevant and expert quotes for their articles.
Fantastic platform for getting you setup for digital marketing. As someone with zero marketing knowledge, they did a phenomenal job from keyword research to article creation to finding quality digital PR. Great driver of traffic for us.
