Reddit feature industry pages before more blog posts
Rebuild around feature and industry pages with supporting content before publishing more unfocused blog posts.
Why this can grow a startup
More content can make a weak site weaker when the core money pages are missing. The r/SaaS pruning thread is useful because the operator described deleting a large share of old content and then creating feature plus industry-specific pages with supporting content. That sequence matters. First remove the pages that confuse the site. Then give the best product and buyer segments their own pages. Then publish support content that reinforces those pages instead of competing with them. For a founder, this is a good test: can every new article clearly support a feature, industry, role, integration, or use-case page?
Source-backed example
A r/SaaS operator described deleting 30% of a B2B SaaS site's content, then creating product, feature, and industry-specific pages with supporting content.
Source-reported evidence
Source: Reddit r/SaaS: Deleting 30% content and rebuilding money pages
The operator reported the blog was up about 20% after eight months, while the more important change was rebuilding around feature and industry pages that converted better.

When to use it
Use this when SEO, Industry Pages, Content Pruning is relevant to feature pages, industry pages, supporting content 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 SEO and Industry Pages, using evidence from Reddit r/SaaS: Deleting 30% content and rebuilding money pages as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Qualified search visitors who complete the 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.
