Get a search engine built for your niche

The Build Studio builds search engines for niches, and you name the price. Google does not know your corner of the world the way you do: the sources that matter, the ranking signals insiders trust, the queries outsiders never think to type. We build the crawler or ingestion pipeline, the index, the ranking logic, and the search experience, all tuned to your niche and live on your domain. This studio has built search engines from scratch before: GitPulse, a powerful GitHub search engine, and SurpassingGoogle, an engine and a paradigm, both among its 47 live apps. Tell us the niche, say the number that feels fair, and we will tell you honestly what it buys.

The 60-second version

Google does not know your niche like you do. Your own search engine could.

We build it for you: we have built search engines from scratch, and we can build one that owns your corner.

Tell us what it is worth to you. ceoism.com/studio.

What you receive

  • A live search engine on your domain
  • An ingestion pipeline for your niche's sources
  • Ranking logic tuned to what insiders actually value
  • A fast, clean search experience
  • Admin tools to manage sources and see what people search

How it works

  1. 1

    Tell us what you need

    One email. Describe the thing in your own words, plain language is perfect, and say the number that feels fair to you.

  2. 2

    We build, you watch it become real

    We reply honestly with what your number gets, then we build. You see the live thing take shape, not a slide about it.

  3. 3

    You name the price

    The price you set is the price. When it ships, it is live on a real domain and it is yours: code, keys, everything.

The receipts

Built by the same engine.

These are live apps from our own catalog that prove this exact service. Click them, they work.

Honest questions

Where does the data come from if my niche has no central database?
We build the pipeline: crawling public sources, ingesting feeds and APIs, or structuring data your community submits. Most niches have more machine-readable material than their people realize, and finding it is part of the job.
How is this better than a Google custom search box?
Custom search rents Google's opinion of your niche. Your own engine ranks by what your niche actually values, indexes sources Google buries, and becomes an asset you own that can grow into the authority.
What if my price will not cover a full engine?
We say so honestly and tell you what it does cover, often a focused engine over one high-value source set. That smaller version is real and useful, and it can grow.

Name your price on this.

Tell us what you need and the number that feels fair. We answer honestly with what that number gets.

Not looking to hire anyone? If you have the knack but never had the means, CEOism will hand you a company instead.

Service 010 · three takes

The films we shoot for this one

These are the scripts we actually film, published openly. Plain text is spoken out loud. Anything in the marked panels is for the camera or the screen behind us and is never read aloud. Three takes of the same service, so we can pick the one that fits where the film is going. The first is open below. Open the other two to read them.

The search that never works

Opens inside the worry this service answers, and takes its time. Made for someone who already has this problem in mind, so it fits this page and it fits an audience that already knows us.

Direction · do not readOpen on camera.

You type more or less the same search every week, and the results are never really for you. They are for someone standing much further from this than you are.

You know the sources that matter. You know which results should rank. It just never occurred to you that a search engine is something a person can have built.

A search engine for your niche. The crawler, the index, the ranking logic, tuned to your corner and live on your domain. We have built them from scratch before.

Name the niche, then name your price.

Take two · the direct cutFilm 010 · 15 to 25 seconds

We built two search engines

Opens on a claim or a visible result, with the offer inside the first ten seconds. Built to be shot with a screen recording playing behind you. Made for the feed and for paid placement, where nobody was looking for us.

Inside our 47 live apps are search engines we built from scratch. Crawler, index, ranking, all of it.

A search engine for your niche, tuned to the sources insiders trust, live on your domain. Name your price and we answer honestly.

Your corner, properly searched

Names the service in the first breath instead of hiding it behind a hook, then offers to build it. It puts the barriers on the floor: you name the price, and not knowing how any of it works is our job rather than yours. It also makes the promise most people never get, that we stay with the thing until it is real. Made for someone who has been carrying this idea around for a long time and needs to hear that somebody will actually take it on.

A crawler, an index, ranking logic, tuned to one corner of the world.

A search engine for your niche. We have built search engines from scratch before.

How it gets built is ours to figure out, not yours. Asking is free.

We tune it for as long as it takes to feel right to an insider.
