Why this can grow a startup

Page Flows grew partly because every recording could match a specific search intent: Slack onboarding, inviting teammates, upgrading, cancellation, and other real product flows. Ramy said SEO was starting to drive growth on its own and that customers discovered pages from searches for specific user flows. The growth move is to avoid treating a content library as one big gated blob. Give each record its own crawlable, descriptive page so the archive compounds through long-tail jobs rather than only through the homepage.

Source-backed example

Ramy said customers found Page Flows through searches for specific user flows such as Slack onboarding, and later described long-tail SEO as a primary traffic source.
