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?

Company 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 and metric
