My traffic growth is pretty consistent, and part of that surely must be due to the new frontend development and SEO indexing. I have about 10 or so users on a daily basis, though none of them are currently buying the product. That is to be expected, and I am perfectly happy letting people vet my business before they try it.
For starters, I revamped my index.html and included sitemaps and a favicon for my site. This has already picked up my organic CTR from basic google searches. This is a free and easy way to get some traffic.
Next, I am focused on the niche communities relating to my project. Subreddits like r/carflipping and r/whatcarshouldibuy have been super useful. I follow the community rules and try to engage in meaningful conversation in the comments of posts like "How do I know if this is a good deal?".
Focus on your ideal customer. A wise man once told me that your ideal customer is the most important customer. Focusing on the ideal customer allows you to cater to those who share similar characteristics and allows for natural growth.
If only 1% of people click on your link or site, as long as your social posts , comments and site design appeal to your ideal customer, then the follow through will be amazing on those clicks.
Good writeup!
Just some quick feedback: I went to your homepage and found it a bit difficult to use. Like, having to specify the exact make, model, and year I wanted felt like it took a a while, and then it gave me one result but asked me to pay to see it. Which felt too early in the process to ask me to pay. I'm not sure when the right time would be, though. But I hadn't seen enough value to think it'd be worth paying, as the #1 thought in my mind was, "I could probably get better data elsewhere, get it easier/faster, and get it free."
Hopefully this helps, as I know it's tough getting visitors but having no feedback from them whatsoever in the early days!
Super grateful for the feedback! I am moving away from this project now, I did not have good enough motivation for me to continue. Thanks for checking it out and sending me some feedback :)
Yeah I agree with Allen. I was not expecting to see the .99 before seeing any data. It's literally select a few dropdowns and bam, pay,
You could provide a sample file (limited to 5 results or so) containing the results of the search.
The other thing that I believe it's missing is the use case. How can this data be used and help the user?
Cheers,
