The problem it solves

Broken links on your website quietly hurt your SEO and make visitors lose trust, but nobody checks every page regularly. You usually find out about a dead link from a customer complaint, long after it started causing problems.

Who it fits

A marketing manager or website owner who wants to catch broken links before customers do.

How it works

  1. Every week, the system scans your website's pages
  2. It checks each link to see if it still works
  3. Broken links are filtered out from the working ones
  4. A Slack alert is sent listing the broken links found
What you get

Broken links found before a customer hits one

You get a weekly Slack alert listing every broken link on your site before it costs you a customer's trust.

What you get

A weekly Slack alert with a list of broken links to fix.

What you need

A Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
