Feedback pleeeease….

I’ve launched a passion project: https://surges.co

It reviews digital marketing tools to help fellow entrepreneurs and marketers to do more with less. I’d love to invite you all do contribute to a teardown i.e.

  • What do you think to the underlying concept?
  • What doesn’t the website do that it should?
  • What information is missing from the reviews?
  • What has promise but could be improved on?
    etc.

It’s an early side-project and I’m embarrassed by the first iteration but that’s the point, right?! Unfortunately my developer let me down so there’s a few things it can’t yet do e.g. list a tool on tools page unless it has an accompanying review or get the alternative filters to work without appearing in the drop down list. I thought I’d come back to these rather than let them hold me back.

So, fire away. All feedback welcome and really appreciated.

Thanks fellow IndieHackers 

    Kudos on posting this just after the first iteration :)

    It's a pretty good list of marketing tools! Adding some more context to the lists wood be a big help. I clicked "starting up" and was just presented with a list of tools. It would be awesome if it was like a journey and the list explained what each tool does and how it helps with starting up. It would also be cool if you provided content about what to do when just starting. Like "when you're just starting out do x thing, to help you do x thing our top marketers recommend y tool and here's why".

    It would also be cool if you did something like a survey where it asks a questions about the type of thing you're marketing, your budget, etc. and then presents you with a list of tools to help based on those factors. Can also pair with content based on the survey.

    If you're looking to collect email addresses you could have the survey be something where they can fill it out then have a special personalized report emailed to them.

    Hopefully this was helpful! Good job so far and best of luck :)

      Thank you @rywils21, you're a genius. These are definite improvements in the overall experience and features I'd like Surge to grow into. Really appreciate your advice.

    Only had a quick look, I like it, but I think you should remove the images above reviews

      Thank you @mattsh, I had been wondering if they offer any value or whether they're a meaningless extra, and you've just confirmed it. I will remove them.
