I can’t help you with product market fit, but I can try to help you with traction. Keep in mind I’m a newbie myself, and mainly just trowing ideas.
First, make sure Google actually knows about your website. Submit it to Google search console and let it index the website. This step alone can take anywhere between 3 to 6 months before you will start to see organic traffic. In the meantime you can also try to create more content in your website. Have a proper sitemap and keep it updated with new content.
In MY experience, backlink building is not that useful. It’s a vanity metric. My SaaS ranks in top 5 in Google for specific keywords, and I have a few dozen backlinks and a DR of 4.
Try running ads. Google/Reddit ads in your case might work.
Make sure you know why people are not converting. In my experience free trials are VC backed thing, when you can burn shitload of money on acquiring customers. It’s not that helpful for solopreneurs, so I would consider dropping it off.
- centilco 1y agoHey, thanks for the feedback! * Submit to Google Search Console — Checked! * Blogging for more content — Checked! * Sitemap — Checked! * Google Ads (small daily budget) — Checked! I appreciate your feedback regarding backlink building and free trials. I thought they were essential because most others are doing it. I guess I’ll need to re-evaluate the value of pursuing them — especially organic backlinking, since there’s no effective way to scale it up.
