Google Workspace setup and admin links before install push
Publish setup and admin-config links on the listing before scaling installs so the Marketplace page can explain the post-install work without forcing the buyer into support.
Why this can grow a startup
Admin buyers often say yes to the listing and then stall on the setup they could not see from the page. Google's store-listing guide treats setup and admin configuration links as the right place to close that gap when configuration is hard to explain inside the product UI. That matters because the Marketplace page is part of onboarding, not just discovery. When the setup path is linked in public, the buyer can judge the real effort earlier and the install feels less like a leap of faith.
Source-backed example
Google's store-listing guide recommends a Setup link when post-install configuration is hard to explain in the UI and an Admin config link when the app requires domain-level configuration.

Google explicitly separates Setup guidance for difficult post-install configuration from Admin config guidance for domain-level setup.

When to use it
Use this when Marketplaces, Onboarding, Documentation is relevant to activation, admin onboarding, docs and you can run a bounded test with a free 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 Marketplaces and Onboarding, using evidence from Google for Developers: Create a store listing as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Share of target users completing the product's first-value 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.
