Slack Marketplace landing page shows the Slack workflow

Build a public landing page that shows the app working inside Slack, includes a clear install path, and redirects new installs to a next-step page instead of dumping them into a generic homepage.

Why this can grow a startup

The listing earns attention, but the landing page still has to close the understanding gap for buyers who need more proof. Slack's review standard is useful because it forces the team to explain the workflow in Slack itself, not just the underlying SaaS. Screenshots, GIFs, and a public install path keep the buyer moving. The post-install next-step page matters just as much because it turns a successful install into a guided start instead of a silent handoff.

Company example

Slack's Marketplace guidelines say the landing page should explain how the app works in Slack, show screenshots or GIFs, include a clear path to install, stay publicly accessible, and redirect installers to a page that confirms success and gives clear next steps.

When to use it

Use this when Marketplaces, Onboarding, Conversion is relevant to slack apps, landing pages, onboarding 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.
