Cited GrowthDex tactics
- FlowMapp award-grade landing page as acquisition channelTreat the landing page as an acquisition channel, not a brochure, by making design quality strong enough to earn conversion, links, and social mentions.
- FlowMapp owned blog plus Medium before channel choiceRun the owned blog for search and a Medium publication for audience before forcing the team to choose one content home.
- FlowMapp repeat Product Hunt launches for new anglesLaunch on Product Hunt more than once when the product has a real new angle, so the channel becomes a repeatable learning surface instead of a one-day ceremony.
- FlowMapp review-platform proof before paid scaleCollect first-user reviews on trusted external platforms before scaling paid acquisition or asking cold visitors to trust your own claims.
- FlowMapp same-stage startup co-promo before big partnershipsPartner with startups at the same level for newsletter features, social co-promo, interviews, and audience sharing before chasing logos too big to care.
- FlowMapp weekly cohort quality before organic scaleTrack organic channels by weekly cohorts, activation, retention, paid conversion, and MRR quality before celebrating signup volume.
- Micro-media ten small mentions before big pressPrioritize ten niche media mentions over waiting for one big publication when the product still needs links, trust, and category repetition.
- Prelaunch SEO page before product launchShip the first optimized landing page before launch day so search has time to start learning the product category.
