Any suggestions on how to grow renderproxy (https://renderproxy.com/)?

I launched about 2 weeks ago and only have 1 customer so far (who is a friend). I know people pay for similar services (prerender.io, roast.io, prerender.cloud), but Renderproxy takes a different approach. Maybe it is the approach that isn't working, or maybe I haven't gotten enough eyes on it.

I was thinking of buying some Google ads as there are some very specific key words I could hit ("javascript seo", "prerender", "dynamic rendering") etc... Thoughts?

    The biggest question for me now, who is your audience or target group for this product?
    How tech-heavy? Is it for developers or marketers? Even if it's for marketers, how technical knowledge do they need?

    I would start to think about how can I create this product as a plug-in and try to increase the user base first. And from that user-base to different kind of experiments to convert them to paid users.

    B2B Point of you Would be also interesting to reach out to local-boutique agencies and explain (as long as the product is not tech-heavy) and even changing DNS needs a level of tech. knowledge :) Sorry for repeating that part constantly.

      That is a good question. The marketing is geared towards developers who understand the problem and the solution right now and want an easy way to implement. However, I could see this being valuable to non-developers who understand the problem but not the solution, as it can be easily implemented. However, a non-developer likely wouldn't create a React app in the first place.

    You came up number 1 on a search for one of my first queries which is a good sign but not for variations.

    Perhaps write some blog articles on the benefits of your services targeting various search terms.

    Maybe find some customers and offer services for free if used as use case so both benefitting them and your service for outreach and SEO.

      What search was that? Thanks for the feedback.
