Working on halalcodecheck.com - a platform to verify food ingredients. Something that started as a tool to scan or upload product labels to verify ingredients has now transformed into a repository of brands, food types, and guides covering major accreditation bodies in the US, UK, Canada etc.

In April, the site receievd 3,500 clicks from Google - 7× growth month-on-month. Cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Working as a solo founder, some of the stuff I shipped last month:

⤷ Launched a seasonal gifting vertical - new revenue surface, new content format, reusable template for future occasion launches

⤷ Audited verdicts for all brands and food items, incorporating data from various authentic sources and official accreditation bodies

⤷ Expanded programmatic SEO across ingredient and brand categories

⤷ Turned zero-result dead-ends into a list growth lever
