“3 weeks ago I downloaded Cursor for the first time. I had the goal of building a $10k MRR SaaS in 30 days. We launched Localrank.so 2 days ago. We're already at $2k MRR.”
Editor's note: Jacky Chou runs the local SEO agency Indexsy and buys and operates online businesses in public, so he started with a large audience and a clear market. In March 2025 he wrote that he had downloaded Cursor for the first time three weeks earlier with the goal of a $10k MRR SaaS in 30 days, and that LocalRank had launched two days earlier at $2k MRR; in May 2025 he called it "zero funding, vibe coded", and in August a "5 month old vibe coded b2b saas". He says "we", and in August 2025 he was hiring full-stack developers who "must use claude or cursor", so a team works on it now. Revenue peaked in late 2025 and has been falling. TrustMRR links the listing to his X account. The quote is lightly cleaned up from his X post of Mar 16, 2025.
How they got customers
The founder already ran a local SEO agency and a large X and YouTube audience. He says he live-streamed every day and posted a YouTube video every day while building, and that LocalRank ranks on Google without built links.
