Technical SEO and AI search visibility for software companies and platforms
You work directly with the developer who builds the tooling and runs the audit. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior team.

- What crawlers receive
- An empty container where the plans should be. Google renders it later, and many AI crawlers never run the script at all.
- Fix
- Render the plan data on the server and hydrate only the billing toggle.
- How to verify
- Fetch the page with JavaScript off and confirm plan names and prices are in the HTML.
What does technical SEO for software companies cover?
Ravana Solutions provides technical SEO, AI search visibility, and programmatic SEO to software companies across the US from Norfolk, Virginia, including SaaS, developer tools, digital health, and marketplaces. The work covers how crawlers and AI agents render JavaScript, indexation and canonicals across marketing sites, docs, and apps, structured data, and whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews cite you. Every software engagement is run directly by founder Nick Mangubat, a developer with about 8 years of full stack SEO, on Raptor, the open source crawler Nick wrote in Rust, and every price is published on the consultation page.
Three problems software teams keep hitting
Content hidden behind JavaScript
Pricing tables, feature copy, and docs that only appear after scripts run. Google renders them later, if at all, and many AI crawlers never run the script.
AI assistants recommending competitors
Buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for a shortlist. If your pages are hard to read and nobody cites you, the shortlist names someone else.
Reporting that stops at traffic
Rankings and sessions go up, and nobody can say whether organic search produced a single signup, demo, or dollar of pipeline.
Who I work with
Software companies from roughly seed to Series B, and the platforms around them. Each breaks in search in its own way.
All industries →What I do
Three services, delivered by the same person who writes the code.
Technical SEO
Crawl and render analysis, indexation, JavaScript rendering, canonicals, structured data, Core Web Vitals, and migrations, delivered as tickets your engineers can ship.
Technical SEO service →AI search visibility
Mentions and citations tracked across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews for a fixed prompt set, plus the fixes that make your pages citable.
AI search visibility service →Programmatic SEO
Templates built from your own data, a pilot set of pages, quality thresholds, and monitoring by template, written in Next.js by the person who designed them.
Programmatic SEO service →Built on my own tooling and research
I do not rent the audit. Raptor is the open source SEO crawler I wrote in Rust, with 128 checks covering rendering, indexation, structured data, and performance. My field report on generative engine optimization uses data from a live client, a regional veterinary practice, to show how ChatGPT and Google AI Mode choose the sources they cite.
Checks in Raptor, the open source crawler I wrote in Rust.
AI search engines on every prompt set: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google, where I check both AI Overviews and AI Mode.
Senior person on your account. Me, from the first crawl to the monthly report.
How engagements work
Intro call
We talk through your site, your stack, and what organic search should be producing. I will tell you plainly whether I am the right fit.
Scoped proposal
A written scope with a fixed price, timeline, and deliverables. Any published "from" price is confirmed here, before anything starts.
Kickoff
Access to Search Console, analytics, and optionally your repo, then the work starts. The first deliverable is a baseline, so every later result is measured against where you started.
Questions from software teams
What does technical SEO for software companies cover?
Ravana Solutions provides technical SEO, AI search visibility, and programmatic SEO to software companies across the US from Norfolk, Virginia, including SaaS, developer tools, digital health, and marketplaces. The work covers how crawlers and AI agents render JavaScript, indexation and canonicals across marketing sites, docs, and apps, structured data, and whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews cite you. Every software engagement is run directly by founder Nick Mangubat, a developer with about 8 years of full stack SEO, on Raptor, the open source crawler Nick wrote in Rust, and every price is published on the consultation page.
Who will I work with?
Me, Nick Mangubat. On a software engagement I run the crawl, write the tickets, review your pull requests, and send the monthly report myself. There is no account manager between us and no junior team learning on your site.
How much does it cost?
For software companies every price is published on the consultation page: the intro call is free, a Strategy session is $450, a Technical SEO + AI Search Audit is priced from $3,500, and retainers start at $2,500 a month with a 3 month initial term. For local businesses, website builds start at $2,500 and local SEO plans start at $750 a month, month to month, as listed on the pricing page.
Do you work with companies outside Virginia?
Yes. Technical SEO and AI search work for software companies is remote and national, with on site workshop days available anywhere in the US. Local web design and local SEO stay focused on Hampton Roads: Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, and Newport News, plus Richmond and Roanoke, served from Norfolk.
Do you guarantee rankings or AI citations?
No. Nobody controls Google's rankings or what an AI assistant says. I measure instead: indexation, rankings for the queries that matter, mentions and citations on a fixed prompt set, and the signups, demos, or leads organic search produces, all against a baseline taken at the start.
