Driving traffic to website without paid ads -- is it possible?

Alex, have you considered cold emailing? It's an effective way to drive targeted traffic and schedule demo calls. Here's my approach:

1- Purchase domains similar to your primary domain from GoDaddy (e.g., www.maestrolabs.io).
2- Create two emails per domain using Outlook or Gmail.
3- Warm up the emails with Instantly.ai to avoid spam filters for a total of two weeks.
4- Use apollo.io to extract 10,000 leads matching your ICP.
5- Verify the email validity with ZeroBounce.
6- Craft an email sequence on Instantly using the three Cs framework (Compliment, case study, call to action) and personalize using AI tools like WriteCream or Copy.ai.
7- Upload the leads to Instantly and automate outreach (start with 20 per day, gradually increase).

You can also refer to our guide for best practices.

How long did you spend on each of those bullet points?

Adding a blog that acts as an active, effective, professional and professional platform on your commercial website and You should be interested in providing diverse, organized, and high-quality content that adds value to your website visitors, as this contributes to the ranking of your site in search results, and thus increases traffic to your website.

Hey Alexander, I would say that gaining followers and engagement on LinkedIn is easier than on Twitter but even for that it takes time. You'll have to be very consistent with your posting and it's always better if you're adding an image or a video with the content.

You can also try platforms like Product Hunt, we tend to get a lot of traffic from there, We also recently received the Golden Kitty Award for ruttl. This win gave us a huge push in terms of reach, traffic, followers count, etc.,

All the best!

Hi Alex,

I don't have the knowledge to help you with SEO but personally, I would change the main video / gif on your page. This .gif is highly compressed and doesn't look very good and doesn't quite sell the product. I would probably go with a short 15-second intro video.

The rest of the page looks great! Good luck!

Hi Alex,

I suggest focusing on fewer channels at once.

If you want to do SEO right, it takes time. Just writing some blog posts, even with the right keywords, won't cut it anymore. You'll need to be more strategic about it and that takes time.
If you want to grow on LI and Twitter, you can't just post content. You'll need to engage with others too. Maybe you'll even have to pay a few people to promote /retweet your content.
If you want to continue with ads, make sure your landing pages and email funnels are optimised too.

Your website isn't bad but it's not wow either. I'm sure there are other similar services out there. What makes you different?
Get a demo is a terrible primary call to action. promote the free trial more if you want more users quickly. And reduce the friction for those new users. Make name and first name one field.
Can you wait with the final two questions and ask them at a later stage?
Finally, the logos should make people trust you. My first impression is that they're not real. Your product clearly isn't well-estbalished yet based on the website, so how did you get these users from companies like Microsoft, Maersk, HP ... Maybe add some case studies to give it more credibility.

Sorry for all the rambling. Feel free to connect with me on Twitter (kjellvdv) and I'll be more specific if you have any questions.

• Write several blog articles for SEO (fail, no one's visiting from there)
  Saw some your recent posts that are on NLP/GPT which your users may not be interested. But when you says no one visiting - How many backlinks did you build from authority sites?

• Twitter (fail, couldn't even get past 50 impressions per tweet)
  Again, Twitter is not a one-time play. It takes months to build traction Twitter in most cases.

• Google ads/Bing ads (fail, spent a few $ and burned budget but didn't get any visitors, didn't try again)
  Not sure if Bing/Google has CPM based ads. If its CPC, not sure how you lost money when there are no visitors.

• LinkedIn (fail, can't manage to grow followers and couldn't get much engagement with our linkedin posts)
  Again, LinkedIn is not a one-time play. It takes months to build traction Twitter in most cases.

Probably you should also checkout trying LTDs witH AppSumo or similar players.

I think the "easiest way" is to think in personas and find where those personas hang out. Initially it'll be hard because you don't know who will care, but as you start marketing you'll learn more about who resonates with your project.

My advice would be to start with reddit and twitter then be patient. Based on what you're saying:

SEO | Didn't work? but it can take 6-9 month to rank even for someone who knows what they're doing depending on the keywords

Twitter | Didn't work? Who cares about impressions those are vanity metrics all that matters are engagements and clicks but anyway these numbers only go up as your following goes up (not entirely true but not counting "viral" posts, basically true)

Ads | I'm just going to say nope XD

LinkedIn | Didn't work?? but what's your real goal?

I think one thing that may be happening is your confusing "vanity" metrics with "real" metrics.

At the end of the day there's very few metrics that sincerely matter . I've started using AARRR pirate metrics and this has helped me streamline my business as a whole:
https://fourweekmba.com/pirate-metrics/

Essentially:
Awareness - But what does this really mean? In my mind this usually means clicks or even better meetings held (which LinkedIn is great for but only 1-10 people out of 100 will probably give a meeting)

Activation - Depending on your stage this could mean email sub or user (no matter what though you're probably getting their email)

Retention - How do you nurture people who become activated? (this is where emails and blogs come really in handy | however there are blogs that are focused on keywords which can be used as content pieces for awareness plus have email list fields for awareness [this is part of why blogging is really good])

Revenue - How do you make money?

Referrals - How do people share the application/product with their friends (innate virality is the best virality).

My recommendation:

• List your goals for marketing what do you want? (and be realistic if you've never marketed before it's unlikely you'll get 100 emails tomorrow without paid means)
• Turn your goals into monthly or quarterly milestones like in this article: Growth Marketing Mint.com From Zero To 1 Million Users
• Use pirate metrics to decide how you'll reach these goals each month/quarter.

A huge problem is when people first start marketing they imagine people flocking to their idea but that's not how it goes most of the time (and usually when it goes like this the person put in a lot of work either before or in stealth to get it to look like this on purpose)

If you need a faster way to help make content for marketing I'm currently working on a new AI that'll ease the educational content development process (a great strategy for building awareness): https://newaiforlearning.com/

Hope this response helps!
