I got some feedback last week that it's a bit unclear on the homepage what the product does, so I tried to improve the story. I know it's not perfect, but I think it's better & I've feeling like additional efforts are going to have diminishing returns. Ok... now what?
If I'm honest, I'm still really unclear around who I should approach / how to approach potential customers. My guess is that they are small companies that want to improve their websites & understand how users are using their products, but I can't think of a way to reach out to companies without sounding spammy, which has always been a fear of mine. On the other hand, I'm not sure how to search the internet for "people who want to have a better understanding of user activity on their site"....
I'm an engineer, and my excuse has always been "that's not the kind of thing I'm good at".. but now I really want to figure it out. I'm just not sure how :-P Does anybody out there have advice? What has worked for you in the past?

P.S. I'm really interested to make some meaningful & mutually helpful connections here on Indie Hackers (have made a few great ones so far!).. Please reach out, I'm happy to share or help you in any way I can!
Hi, congrats on your launch! I'd use several ways:
find out where your users can hang out (for example, which subreddit), and post about your product there (be careful though as Reddit is a pretty toxic place)
figure out which words your users use to solve their problem (with a product like yours), then write the corresponding articles, publish on your website (don't forget to make sure it's indexed), and in the corresponding communities
find the questions your potential users may ask (which your product is answer) and answer - for example, monitor Reddit to be the first one to say "hey, my product X can solve this problem easily).
Good luck!
Very interesting!
