A SaaS that turns Steam tag selection into a structured, repeatable workflow: competitor tag mining, competition density, tag-order recommendations, and pre-launch validation.

Target customer
Indie game studios and solo developers (producer/marketing owner) preparing a Steam store page or iterating tags during Next Fest / launch window.
Problem-solution fit
The post shows developers missing how Steam discovery uses tags and spending months learning a process that should be operationalized. This product reduces the manual research overhead (collecting tags across comps, checking tag competition, and deciding weighted order) while making choices defensible and repeatable across releases.
