Post-launch review embed for compounding Product Hunt traffic
A week after launch, send direct review links to real users and embed those reviews on your site or emails so the launch keeps paying rent.
Why this can grow a startup
The launch page fades, but review surfaces keep compounding. Product Hunt says products with reviews can get far more traffic than those without, and those reviews also create reusable proof for your own pages and campaigns. The timing matters because the best review requests happen after a real moment of delight, not during the initial noise.
Company example
Product Hunt's launch timeline says products with reviews get up to 8x more traffic and specifically recommends direct review links plus embeds on websites or email campaigns.
