DIY title search is a product, not a blog post

End-to-end scheduling and QA for short-term rental cleanings and turns.

If people are asking how to do title work themselves, they’re telling you the workflow is too opaque.

THE MARKET

Search demand is explicit: "property title search" and "title search on property" both show 14,800 monthly searches, while "title company near me" is 27,100. The keyword set has balanced intent—18 informational, 17 commercial, 8 transactional—so there’s room for a guided self-serve product.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"Can I run a title search myself?","How can I do a title search on my property?","What is the point of title insurance?"
THE GAP

Right now, users bounce between county records, title-company sites, and generic legal help with no step-by-step workspace. Adjacent app reviews are brutal: "Slow loading / laggy performance," "Downloading or opening editions/articles fails," and "Poor usability and difficult navigation."

THE BUILD

Build a guided title-research workspace with county-record links, OCR for deeds/liens/easements, issue summaries, and exportable reports for lenders or attorneys. Start with DIY buyers and investors in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, where the PAA/cost questions are already loud.

WEEKEND MVP

A checklist-driven title research flow that lets users upload a deed and export a summary PDF.
