Summary

First client-finder run. Sourced prospects on LinkedIn by searching for businesses that just launched a new website (highest-intent moment for SEO/GEO/AEO). Engaged 1 fully qualifying prospect: Christenson Electric (2,477 followers, 80-year commercial electrical contractor in the Pacific Northwest, new website launched today). Posted a value-add comment on their launch post from Rahil's account and sent a connection request with pitch to their President, Sonja Rheaume (1,934 followers).

Prospects engaged

Prospect	Fit check	Actions taken
Christenson Electric (company) + Sonja Rheaume (President)	2,477 followers (company) ✅, revenue generating (80 years) ✅, website launched 2026-06-05 ✅. Not lean/solo (soft criterion) ⚠️	1) Comment on launch post (urn:li:activity:7468706116852453376): congratulated launch + explained AI search citation opportunity for fresh sites. 2) Connection request to Sonja Rheaume with 285-char pitch: Solorank intro, ChatGPT/Perplexity answer positioning, refund-if-KPIs-missed offer, free AI visibility audit.

Strategy used

Search queries that worked: "our new website is live", "new website is live" (sorted by date). These surface real revenue businesses at the exact trigger moment.
Queries that failed: "looking for SEO", "need SEO help", "can anyone recommend SEO" → results are agencies selling SEO or job posts, not buyers. "just launched my new website" → students and portfolio sites.
Company page posts are common for website launches. Workaround: comment on the company post, then find the President/owner via people search and send the connection request there. Worked cleanly.
Pitch angle: new website = perfect timing to structure for AI citations before competitors. Credibility via Marketing + AI + dev expertise, de-risked with refund-if-KPIs-missed offer and free AI audit.

Learnings and improvements for next run

Buyer-intent SEO keywords are polluted by sellers. Launch-moment keywords ("new website is live") are far cleaner signals.
Most founders posting website launches have under 2,000 followers. The 2,000 bar filters out many otherwise ideal lean/solo prospects; logged them in Prospect Watchlist instead of engaging.
For company-page prospects, the comment + exec-connection two-step works and reaches an actual decision maker.
Next run: try queries "website relaunch", "new site is live", "rebrand is live", and industry-specific variants. Also re-check watchlist (Shanna Hermann's GRAM site goes live week of 2026-06-08, strong intent moment).
Operational: comment box and connection-note dialog ignore plain type at coordinates if focus is not set; comment box needed a direct click on the field first, and the note textarea (shadow DOM, #custom-message) needed JS value set + input event.
