Bree

Chime for Canada, starting with cash advances

Seoable for Bree

If you are part of Bree (or you are a YC founder who looks at Bree and thinks that is the kind of business I run), you probably do not have time for a six-month SEO agency contract. Seoable was built for that. Audit your site, queue 100 ready-to-publish posts, and run it all from your AI assistant.

About Bree

Bree is building a challenger bank for the 11 million Canadians living paycheck to paycheck, starting with interest-free cash advances. We make money through tips and an optional, same-day express fee. By solving our customers' most urgent problem—illiquidity between paychecks —our cash advance business is a cheap, but profitable and repeatable hook that builds distribution for a broader challenger bank. This represents a $9 billion revenue opportunity in Canada.

Why founders like Bree use Seoable

  • Ship without an agency. Audit your site and queue 100 posts in one afternoon. No briefs to write, no calls to take.
  • Drive it from Claude or Cursor. Seoable is MCP-first. Your assistant can run audits, queue posts, and pull reports without you opening a dashboard.
  • Pay per piece, not per seat. Credits instead of monthly seats. Buy what you need, when you need it.
  • SEO that includes AI engines. Our audits check what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok already say about you, not just Google.
