Distribb made $17,676 in MRR, verified by TrustMRR through Stripe on Oct 16, 2026. Its headline: "Your AI Agent Gets Customers on Autopilot With Buy-Intent SEO." Like SEObot, it sells an autonomous AI business service (SEO done by agents). It goes further on distribution, though: backlinks, social reposts and tracking whether AI chatbots mention you. It's run by two co-founders, and their own posts show exactly where the human work sits.

What it sells and to whom

  • Who pays: "Small and medium businesses looking to automate their SEO and content creation". TrustMRR says "~500 users", and the site says "Trusted by 500+ Businesses".
  • Price: Pro $97/month, Accelerator $495/month, with a 7-day free trial (TrustMRR).
  • What they get (homepage): buyer-intent keyword research, a "rolling 30-day content calendar", long articles with original cited research, publishing to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Wix, Ghost, Notion, Framer, GoHighLevel or a webhook, a backlink exchange "from real businesses", Google Search Console reporting, AI-visibility tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers, and Google Business Profile review replies.

How the agents run it (what's automated)

Distribb's onboarding promise is "Three steps. Five minutes. Then your SEO engine runs 24/7":

  1. Connect once. Add the site and connect the CMS.
  2. "We plan and publish." It "analyzes your niche and competitors, finds buyer-intent keywords, and keeps your content calendar full automatically. Articles are written, scheduled, and published". Labelled "Fully automatic".
  3. Show up where buyers decide. Turn on the backlink exchange and the authority-building runs in the background.

Beyond the blog, Distribb turns articles into "a short video, a carousel, and posts, then publish[es] them to YouTube, Instagram, Medium, and Quora for you... on accounts we run". Customers don't connect their own social accounts. On Accelerator, it finds "best tools" roundups, drafts pitches to their authors and "runs the whole campaign for you, follow-ups and replies included" from Distribb's own warmed inboxes. A plain-English agent and a task scheduler ("Daily 9AM Publish Article", "Weekly Mon SEO Report") cover recurring work. Publishing can be automatic or "approval-first".

What still needs a human

Distribb is clear about this, which is useful:

  • Support is personal by design. "Support Straight From Borja & Florian (Distribb Co-Founders)... you can schedule as many calls with us as you want." "No support tiers, no ticket queue, no bot in between." Accelerator customers "also get a personalized WhatsApp group with both of us."
  • Shipping and distribution. Co-founder Florian Darroman wrote on LinkedIn (Jul 29, 2026): "We ship, answer support and do distribution 24/7 because we live on opposite sides of the world."
  • The early grind. In the same post: Borja Obeso "bootstrapped it to almost $10K with ads" while he "still had a full-time job". Then they "partnered up and rebranded to Distribb", "cut features", "talked to customers daily" and built a V2. The earlier product was RebelGrowth ("RebelGrowth became Distribb").

So the customer's SEO is close to hands-off, while running Distribb takes two founders working in shifts across time zones. Agent Money List rates it nearly autonomous (our estimate): the agent delivers the service, while the founders run demos, support and growth.

Tools/stack

TrustMRR lists JavaScript and CSS (frontend), Python (backend) and Stripe. CMS integrations are listed above. No AI model vendors are named publicly.

Numbers

  • Verified MRR: $17,676 (TrustMRR via Stripe, last updated Oct 16, 2026; from entries.json). The same snapshot shows $21,758 for the last 30 days, $153,315 all-time and 124 active subscriptions.
  • Latest page check (Oct 20, 2026): TrustMRR now shows MRR $16,116, 118 active subscriptions, $20,343 for the last 30 days and $156,264 all-time. It lists founders Borja Obeso and Florian Darroman, founded August 2025, United States.
  • Founder post (Jul 29, 2026): "Hit $100K all-time revenue today", "66% of that made since I joined as a co-founder".
  • Self-reported on the site: "Results in 2-4 weeks", "Domain Rating +19 in 90 days" (illustration), "more than 150 languages".
  • Our estimates for a copycat: about $85 to start and about $25/month to run (entries.json, labelled est.).

How you could build a version of this hands-off

Distribb and SEObot both prove there's demand for "SEO on autopilot". To stand out, Distribb leaned into buy-intent keywords and distribution, not just article count.

  1. Lead with outcome-focused keywords. Target "searches closest to a sale" for one type of business (local services, SaaS, e-commerce) instead of generic blog volume.
  2. Automate the calendar. Keep a rolling 30-day plan that refills itself as posts go live. Publish through CMS APIs with an optional approval gate.
  3. Add one distribution channel at a time. Start with repurposing each article into one other format. Only post from accounts you control, and check each platform's rules.
  4. Think hard before building a link network. A backlink exchange can help customers, but it carries search-engine policy risk. Distribb's FAQ says it uses "rigorous quality controls". If you can't manage that risk, skip it.
  5. Report results automatically. Connect Google Search Console and send a weekly automated report. That answers most "is it working?" support questions without a call.
  6. Decide how much support you'll give. Distribb sells founder access as a feature. For a hands-off version, offer recorded walkthroughs and email-only support, and price accordingly.
