Software development company

Software development company can mean a lot of things. What is your business model? Are you developing software tailored to single customers? Or are you developing applications that you sell to many people as possible? What platforms are you targeting?

Are you developing products your own products or for clients?

SEO is important for agencies. Try to nail down a specific locale (e.g. bigger city near you) that has lots of small and medium-sized businesses. Write your copy "software development in {city}" and have good content. You'll be surprised at the number of businesses who reach out to you. Good luck!

Hey Kotyara,

The first thing you should do is have a link to your website with examples of work. They could be case studies or just work unbranded examples, but you need a showcase. Add Github or links to apps you've worked on so people can get an idea of your quality.

Define the type of work you're an expert at. If you're mostly Ruby, don't try to become the all-round expert with every single language/framework/tool. Otherwise, you won't stand out for anything in particular.

Trust is a major factor when trying to do freelance or outsource work. You can build that trust by showing your picture on your website with a brief bio about yourself. And if you have any testimonials from clients, put those on there too.

Hope that helps and good luck with your journey!
