Ask HN: How Do You launch Your MVP?
I'm in the process of launching my first website project. It's a visual search for finding local design furniture.
Should I do a "stealthy" launch and let Google first index the first hundred pages/product or do PR and marketing from the beginning?
What are Your experiences?
Thanks for help

- AhtiK 14y ago"Stealthy" launch is like putting it online and hoping that no-one finds it :-) I think it's either launched and marketed or offline and no-one using it. Not knowing the exact product, just an idea: consider contacting small design furniture shops and ask them to submit their stuff to your site and you could send them promotional stickers-banners they could use at the store? Good content is the key and crossing online-offline border could become a good viral advantage. Problem with visual search is that you can't draw an orange in a google search, think how you can maximize SEO with text content so visual search makes sense for indexing. Also how other sites could be motivated to send incoming traffic.
- hilti 14y agoYou're absolutely right on the problems with visual search and I'm trying to encounter it by writing short teasers/abstracts about the presented products or designers. Thanks for Your advice!!
