Frequently Asked Questions

Which metrics should we track when launching the startup?
Use Google Analytics 4 or Amplitude to measure how many people visit your site, how many sign up, and what they do inside your product. This way you’ll quickly see what works and what needs tweaking.
How can we start making money from day one?
Choose a simple model—basic subscription, pay-per-use, or ads. Run small A/B tests to see which price point customers accept best, then adjust as you go.
How do we turn visitors into customers?
Build a clear funnel: an eye-catching landing page, a simple signup form, and an automated welcome email. Then send reminder emails to anyone who didn’t finish registration.
What basic SEO steps should we apply at the start?
Pick 3–5 relevant keywords and include them in your title, subheadings, and first paragraph. Submit a sitemap in Google Search Console and request indexing.
How do we use a Marketing Tech tool and CRM?
Install a free CRM like HubSpot or Mailchimp to store contacts and send personalized emails. It helps you organize leads and keep track of every prospect.
What is the benefit of funnel automation?
Automating emails and tasks (abandoned-cart reminders, welcome messages) saves you time and keeps customers engaged without manual work.
How can we leverage AI to create content quickly and easily?
Use tools like ChatGPT to draft blog posts, product descriptions, or video scripts, then edit them so they feel natural and on-brand.
