Publish a SECURITY.md so the issue flow points sensitive reports to the right path before a public thread turns into a trust leak.

GitHub community profile checklist as trust audit

Use GitHub's community profile checklist as a recurring front-door audit so the repo fixes missing trust files before prospects and contributors hit the rough edge first.

GitHub contributing tab before first PR

Write CONTRIBUTING.md early so GitHub surfaces the contribution route before the first issue or PR turns into a custom onboarding thread.

GitHub default community health files across repos

Put shared community-health files in the account-level .github repository so every new repo starts with the same trust rails instead of rebuilding them one project at a time.

Route a GitHub issue at creation time with default labels, assignees, projects, and issue type instead of leaving the queue to sort itself later.

GitHub issue template contact links to discussions and security

Use GitHub issue-template contact links to push support questions and security reports onto the right routes before they become the wrong kind of issue.

GitHub Discussions category form before question submit

Turn repeated support or setup questions into structured discussion forms so the first post arrives with the repro details, environment, and expected outcome you actually need.

GitHub, Community, Support · Source: GitHub Docs: Creating discussion category forms
GitHub Discussions Q&A category with marked answers

Separate announcements, Q&A, and idea threads into clear sections so visitors know whether they are reading a broadcast, a solved answer, or an open-ended product debate.

Review discussion page views and daily contributors every week so community work gets measured by actual reading and participation, not by how loud the latest thread felt.

Substack recommendations in subscribe flow, homepage, and digest

Use Substack recommendations across every new-reader handoff so one fresh subscriber gets multiple chances to join the next relevant publication.

Micro-media ten small mentions before big press

Prioritize ten niche media mentions over waiting for one big publication when the product still needs links, trust, and category repetition.

Ship the first optimized landing page before launch day so search has time to start learning the product category.

Reddit BOFO answer questions before content scale

Map bottom-of-funnel content to real Reddit questions before scaling awareness content, so the audience finds proof where doubt already exists.

Facebook group profile founder story before pitch

Pin the founder story in the profile before group posting so curious buyers see a real operator, not a faceless offer.

Facebook group founder reply every comment

When selling through niche Facebook groups, treat every comment as a public sales-support thread instead of dropping the post and leaving.

HubSpot agent tool scope only for the context you use

Request HubSpot object scopes only for the records your agent tool actually reads, and keep extra CRM context out of the prompt path.

Marketplaces, Trust, Engineering · Source: HubSpot Docs: Agent tool listing requirements · Source hub

Discord App Directory verify and enable discovery before promo

Finish Discord app verification and discovery opt-in before you push traffic, because the App Directory and App Launcher only start working after approval and can take up to 24 hours to populate.

Communities, Marketplaces, Launches · Source: Discord Docs: Enabling Discovery
Discord App Directory install link before page polish

Configure the install link before polishing the App Directory page, because Discord removes the Add App button and directory eligibility when no install link exists.

Marketplaces, Conversion, Onboarding · Source: Discord Docs: Application Resource
Discord App Directory summary names the server job

Use the 200-character App Directory summary to name the problem your app solves in the server, instead of describing it as a generic bot with features.

Communities, SEO, Conversion · Source: Discord Docs: Discovery Best Practices
Discord App Directory five-asset carousel with best proof first

Build the App Directory carousel like a proof sequence: lead with the strongest image or video, because Discord allows only five assets and shows them in an auto-rotating top-of-page carousel.

Communities, Brand, Conversion · Source: Discord Developers Help: App Directory App profile pages
Discord App Directory support server tags and language parity

Tighten the support server link, tags, and supported languages before discovery goes live, because Discord treats them as eligibility and search-quality inputs rather than optional profile garnish.

Salesforce AppExchange connect organization before listing polish

Connect the managed package to the AppExchange listing before polishing the page so the trial, install, and proof surfaces point at a real product route.

Salesforce AppExchange security review parallel with listing design

Submit for Security Review right after the package is linked, then finish the listing while the review clock is already running.

Salesforce AppExchange Trialforce template with sample data

Build the AppExchange trial from a Trialforce source org with sample data so the prospect lands inside a usable workflow instead of an empty Salesforce shell.

Marketplaces, Product-led Growth, Onboarding · Source: Salesforce Developers Blog: Get Started with Modern AppExchange Development
Salesforce AppExchange non-namespaced install test before trial

Test install and upgrade flows in non-namespaced scratch orgs before promoting the listing, because that org shape behaves more like the customer's environment.

Salesforce AppExchange Code Analyzer reports before review attempt

Run Code Analyzer with the AppExchange and Recommended:Security rules before submitting, so the first paid review attempt is checking your package rather than discovering preventable noise.

Salesforce AppExchange pre-queue credentials before review window

Validate the test org, disable MFA for the review path, and hand over working credentials before submission so the package clears pre-queue instead of burning launch time.

Zoom Marketplace short description as search snippet

Write the Zoom short description like a filtered search result, because the first 150 characters often decide whether an admin opens the listing at all.

Zoom Marketplace long description starts with audience fit

Open the long description with the audience or regional constraint in bold, then a short paragraph and feature list, so the listing answers fit before it starts pitching features.

Marketplaces, Positioning, Conversion · Source: Zoom Developer Docs: Common reasons for app submission rejection · Source hub
Zoom Marketplace documentation covers add, use, and remove

Treat the documentation URL like part of the product path, with step-by-step add, usage, and removal instructions before you chase more installs.

Zoom Marketplace gallery shows the core workflow

Use the gallery to show the exact workflow the app unlocks, because Zoom review expects two to three images of real functionality rather than decorative product art.

Zoom Marketplace From your site landing page for controlled access

Use Zoom's From your site flow when access should stay controlled, and make the landing page handle login, authorization, and a clear path for non-customers.

Marketplaces, Onboarding, Infrastructure · Source: Zoom Developer Docs: Controlling app access on the Marketplace
Google Workspace Marketplace screenshots prove the Google workflow

Google Workspace Marketplace support links as admin handoff

Marketplaces, Onboarding, Brand · Source: Google Workspace Marketplace: Create a store listing · Source hub
Google Workspace Marketplace region gating with language parity

Only limit a Workspace listing to selected regions when the matching language coverage is ready, because users outside the target regions disappear from search and direct links fail while in-region users still need local language support.

Marketplaces, Localization, SEO · Source: Google Workspace Marketplace: Create a store listing · Source hub
Google Workspace Marketplace draft listing preview before live change

Use Marketplace drafts to preview and test listing updates before publishing, so the live listing keeps converting while the next revision gets checked in context.

Marketplaces, Conversion, Operations · Source: Google Workspace Marketplace: Update or unpublish an app listing
Google Workspace Marketplace OAuth scope gate before listing update

Do not publish listing changes that depend on new OAuth scopes until verification is approved, because Google warns that early scope updates trigger the unverified-app screen and apply quota limits.

Marketplaces, Security, Conversion · Source: Google Workspace Marketplace: Update or unpublish an app listing
Google Workspace Marketplace admin install by org unit before broad rollout

Route the first Workspace rollout through admin install for a specific organizational unit or access group instead of throwing the app at the whole company on day one.

GitHub Marketplace very short description as homepage filter

Write the GitHub Marketplace very short description like shelf copy for a busy repo admin, because the homepage only gives you 40 to 80 characters to win a serious click.

Marketplaces, SEO, Positioning · Source: GitHub Docs: Writing a listing description for your app
GitHub Marketplace feature card preview before brand refresh

Treat the feature card preview as part of brand work before launch, because GitHub can feature the app on the Marketplace homepage and the card has to stand out in one glance.

Marketplaces, Brand, Conversion · Source: GitHub Docs: Writing a listing description for your app
GitHub Marketplace setup URL finishes the purchase

Build the Setup URL before promotion, because GitHub Marketplace cannot complete a GitHub App purchase flow if the post-install handoff has nowhere reliable to go.

Marketplaces, Onboarding, Infrastructure · Source: GitHub Docs: Handling new purchases and free trials
GitHub Marketplace free trial countdown in billing UI

Show the remaining GitHub Marketplace trial days inside the product, because GitHub gives the dates and the buyer should not have to guess when paid access starts.

Marketplaces, Onboarding, Retention · Source: GitHub Docs: Handling new purchases and free trials
GitHub Marketplace cancellation cleanup within 30 days

Turn cancellation handling into a trust rule, with account deactivation, token revocation, webhook removal, and data deletion within 30 days after the Marketplace cancel event.

Marketplaces, Brand, Security · Source: GitHub Docs: Handling plan cancellations
Microsoft Marketplace search summary before feature list

Write the AppSource or Marketplace search summary around the buyer, the pain, and the outcome before you explain features, because the first 100 characters often decide whether the page earns a real evaluation click.

Microsoft Marketplace getting-started field as admin handoff

Use the getting-started field to carry the first setup steps and doc links, so the listing still works after the admin clicks through and starts asking what has to happen next.

Microsoft Marketplace specific proof PDFs with tracked links

Use the Learn more documents for concrete proof assets and add tracked landing-page links inside them, because the listing should teach the next question instead of dumping the buyer onto a homepage.

Microsoft Marketplace landing page 24/7 after acquisition

Treat the post-acquisition landing page like production infrastructure, because Microsoft uses it for purchase and configuration handoffs and the page has to stay available all the time.

Microsoft Marketplace lead routing by call to action

Route Marketplace leads by call to action and source instead of treating them as one generic queue, because a Contact Me note, a Get It Now event, and a Free Trial start mean different follow-up jobs.

AppSumo multi-tier cards before launch week
