Slack Marketplace public support path with 2-day SLA
Treat the support page as part of the listing, with a public contact path and a real response habit, because Slack expects support requests to get a response within two business days.
Why this can grow a startup
Admins do not separate product quality from support reachability. If the listing is polished but help requires another login or disappears into a dead inbox, trust drops fast. Slack's support-page requirements turn that into an operator rule: make help reachable from the public web and answer promptly enough that buyers can believe the app will still be maintained after install. That helps conversion now and protects the listing from becoming a trust liability later.
Company example
Slack's Marketplace guidelines say support must include a clear contact method, cannot require signing up for another account, should be publicly accessible, and should respond within 2 business days.

When to use it
Use this when Marketplaces, Support, Brand Trust is relevant to slack apps, support ops, brand trust and you can run a bounded test with a low budget.
