Baremetrics public dashboard demo as trust page
Use your own live product data as the demo when trust and immediacy matter more than a sanitized sample account.
Why this can grow a startup
A fake demo often proves the UI, not the outcome. Baremetrics made its own dashboard public because it needed a live demo of what the product could do. That decision opened conversations and became a direct conversion asset: visitors to the demo were 5.5 times more likely to become customers. The move worked because the product category was metrics. Showing the company’s own numbers made the promise tangible and a bit vulnerable. For analytics, AI ops, finance, and creator tools, a real demo can answer the buyer’s hidden question: does the founder trust this enough to use it in public.

When to use it
Use this when Conversion, Trust, Product-Led Growth is relevant to conversion, public demo, trust and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
How to do it
- Choose one target segment and define the exact next action this tactic should prompt.
- Adapt the tactic to Conversion and Trust, using evidence from Baremetrics: From $0 to $25K MRR as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Target users who complete the tactic’s intended next action. Set a guardrail that would make you pause the test.
- Run a narrow pilot and choose a test window that fits the normal decision or use cycle; do not scale before you have observed the full cycle.
- Compare the signal with its baseline. Scale only if the intended action improves without crossing the guardrail; otherwise revise one variable or stop and record what you learned.
