> 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

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.

## Ian's take

From scaling consumer platforms across MENA and Southeast Asia, my default is to distrust growth work that only looks good in a slide. My bias is to treat this as a small market test first. Make the audience narrow, make the promise concrete, and let the first real response decide whether it deserves more work. For activation, the useful question is not whether users liked the page. It is whether they got to the first meaningful win faster. For this tactic, I would watch one clear growth signal before putting more time or budget behind it.

## Action plan

1. Define one narrow startup segment where slack marketplace landing page shows the slack workflow can create a measurable lift.
2. Turn the tactic into one offer, page, campaign, or workflow for the Marketplaces and Onboarding channel.
3. Use the evidence from docs.slack.dev to set the first version of the message, format, and audience.
4. Launch a small test for 7 to 14 days with one success metric: one measurable growth signal.
5. Review the result, keep the winning message, remove weak variants, and turn the learning into a repeatable growth playbook.

## Source-backed 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.
