Zero-code business tools for data retrieval, monitoring and automation.

Founder

👋 I went from freelancing to running an agency to creating a SaaS startup.

Self-taught coder and SEO, now turning to content creation to share my learnings. 

I'm the founder and maker of a software startup called Botster (you can try it for free @ botster.io). 

It helps businesses collect data and automate boring tasks.

If you’re running a digital business you should try it (right now!)

I frequently post about challenges that I personally face in IT business, as well as tricks and findings anyone can utilize to make their business life easier, and sometimes things can get real technical. 

If you're into that kind of jazz – let's connect 🤝

Implementing AI into our products is so much fun. 

The use-cases are endless. 

For instance, mapping product items to categories just got easier for e-commerce owners.

A lot.

With the help of AI, you can now simply provide lists of items and our bot will automagically assign proper categories to each of them. 

All you need to do is download your Excel files with results and carry on with your day. 

Nice.

Does site speed really matter for SEO?

My opinion might be controversial, but the data suggests otherwise.

Stop obsessing over your Pagespeed Insights scores and focus on the basics!

In the past 7 days, my startup received:

~100 visits from X
~40 visits from LinkedIn

But here's where it gets interesting:

Average time on site per user:

Only 8 seconds for X

And… 5 minutes for LinkedIn. 

FIVE MINUTES!

Choose your focus wisely.

Here's a brief video clip that will help you start with web scraping.

You can use it to:

- Monitoring competitors' inventories
- Create datasets
- Generate leads

... and so much more.

Many businesses are still uncertain about how to integrate scraping into their daily workflows, yet the opportunities it brings are endless.

I made a video about a common mistake many SEOs make.

And no, it's not tech-related.

Keyword grouping, also known as SILOing or clustering, is one of my favorite SEO tactics that many specialists tend to miss.

It provides a range of benefits and is crucial for any website, regardless of size.

Thinking about creating a Chrome extension? 🧩

I've built and published two already, and my third one is coming out in a few weeks.

Here’s your guide to getting your extension onto the Chrome Store, complete with tips and potential pitfalls. 

(Bookmark this)

After you've tested your extension locally, it’s time to let others download and install it from the Chrome Store.

Publishing an extension there is similar to releasing a mobile app on Google Play.

FYI: the information below could become outdated. For the latest guide on publishing an extension, check out: https://lnkd.in/gEPEcKvr

The steps below are based on my own experiences. Take them as additional advice.

THE STEPS

1.	Package the folder with the extension into a ZIP file. I simply zip my dist folder.

2.	Register for the Chrome Store at https://lnkd.in/g5PRUFK8 with a Gmail account. Avoid using your personal email if you’re considering selling the extension later.

3.	Pay a one-time $5 fee

4.	In the Chrome Web Store console, create a new product

5.	When setting up your product, fill out a form with details about the extension and upload the ZIP. This info will be visible on the extension’s page. Include images of different sizes. I also recommend making a video about your extension and uploading it to YouTube.

6.	You don't have to finish the form in one go. Add some details, save a draft, and come back later to complete it. Once you’ve got everything ready, locate your extension in the product list, open it, and keep filling out.

7.	After you’ve filled out the form, click "Submit for Review." Your extension will go to Google for review, which could take a few days. You can track the review status in your product list.

8.	Check the status periodically while you wait, as Google may not email you when the review is finished.

9.	If your extension doesn’t pass the review, fix the errors, create a new ZIP file, and resubmit it. There’s no limit on how many times you can submit.

10.	Once your extension passes and is validated, its status will change to "Published," making it available for installation on the Chrome Web Store: https://lnkd.in/gxRRapCb.

TIPS

When preparing your extension for verification, keep the archive as small as possible since users will be downloading it.

Only include essential files in the extension. Don’t pack anything unnecessary. Avoid including any auxiliary WebPack files, package.json, etc.

Your submission should only contain the manifest.json, HTML pages listed in it, JS files, images, and any other data used by these pages.

All external libraries should be included in your extension folder—external script references can lead to rejection, even if it’s just a benign jQuery CDN link.

Ensure the manifest.json doesn’t list any permissions you don’t actually use; overdeclaring permissions can cause your submission to be rejected. Each Chrome API method specifies the permissions it requires.
