MCP keyword searches dominated by directories, not product pages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent analysis of search engine results pages (SERPs) for the keyword "MCP" revealed a significant lack of independent product pages ranking. Instead, search results were dominated by directory sites, aggregator pages, GitHub repositories, Reddit threads, YouTube tutorials, and established brand explainers. This suggests that for products in this category, visibility is primarily achieved through inclusion in directories like MCPMarket and MCP.so, rather than direct ranking on their own domains. The analysis also highlighted that long-tail keyword combinations offer the most viable ranking opportunities for new products. AI
