# Brand SERP check — July 2026

**Task:** #26 Monthly: check the `AidaIDE` brand SERP  
**Checked:** 2026-07-20 (UTC)  
**Method:** Web search (logged-out style tools) for `AidaIDE`, `aida ide`, `aidaide review`, plus collision probes (`AidaIDE Adelaide`, `site:alternativeto.net AidaIDE`).  
**Live site spot-check:** `aidaide.app`, `/pricing`, `/ssh`, `/ai-hierarchy` titles/meta show Free forever / Pro **$19/mo** (correct).

## Queries

### `AidaIDE`
| Rank (approx) | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | https://aidaide.app/ | Own brand — good |
| 2 | https://aidaide.app/faq | Own |
| 3 | https://aidaide.app/ssh | Own |
| 4 | https://aidaide.app/pricing | Own — **snippet title still says Single User $7/mo** (stale index) |
| 5 | https://aidaide.app/ai-hierarchy | Own — snippets still mention $12 add-on in some digests |

**Verdict:** Page-1 owned by aidaide.app. No Adelaide burial on the exact brand query.

### `aida ide`
Same pattern — aidaide.app pages dominate top results. No wrong-company IDE displacing us on this spaced query in the sample.

### `aidaide review`
| Rank (approx) | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | aidaide.app pages | Own |
| ~5 | https://pickuma.com/for-dev/aidaide-review-ssh-first-desktop-ide/ | Third-party review (constructive / cautious solo-dev framing) — not hostile |

**Verdict:** Brand + one external review. No smear / fake-company takeover.

## Collision watch

| Probe | Finding |
|---|---|
| Adelaide | Opera **AIDA** / Adelaide Oval news only appears when Adelaide is in the query. Does **not** bury exact `AidaIDE` brand results. |
| AlternativeTo | `site:alternativeto.net AidaIDE` surfaces **Aide IDE** / **AIDE Android** name-alikes — **not** a clear AidaIDE listing in top hits. Gap vs goal “aidaide.app + AlternativeTo + community hold top results.” |
| Community | Discord / community hub not in organic top-5 for brand queries (expected; owned site dominates). |

## Weird / action items

1. **Stale $7 / $12 SERP snippets** — Live HTML is correct; Google (and search digests) still surface old pricing titles. **Action:** Search Console → request indexing for `/`, `/pricing`, `/ssh`, `/ai-hierarchy`, `/about`.
2. **AlternativeTo visibility** — Confirm public listing at `https://alternativeto.net/software/aidaide/` (or create/claim if missing); watch Aide/AIDE collisions.
3. **Pickuma review** — Neutral-positive; no response required this month.
