Micro-SaaS three core pages before blog calendar
Ship a landing page, how-it-works page, and primary use-case page before starting a blog calendar.
Why this can grow a startup
A new SaaS does not need a giant content operation in month one. It needs enough fixed pages for search engines and buyers to understand what the product is, how it works, and who it helps. In the r/seogrowth case, the founder published three core pages before leaning into posts: the main landing page, a how-it-works page, and a detailed use-case page for the primary persona. That gives every later article somewhere useful to point. It also prevents the common early SEO failure where blog posts attract curiosity but the product path is still vague. For a tiny team with 15 hours a week, these three pages are the minimum viable search architecture.
Source-backed example
The founder said month one included Search Console, Analytics, basic event tracking, and three core pages: main landing page, how it works, and a detailed use-case page for the primary persona.
