Landing page launch workflow

SEO template-library launch playbook

Use this when the product's first wedge is crawlable content and the validation goal is search impressions plus email signups.

Audience

Founders building searchable template, example, or teardown libraries before paid features

Validation metric

Indexed pages, Search Console impressions, organic clicks, template page engagement, and waitlist conversion rate.

Launch steps

  1. Pick three high-intent page types: templates, examples, and source/category teardowns.
  2. Write one page per type with a reusable prompt, copy block, and internal links.
  3. Add sitemap entries and static metadata before distribution.
  4. Place a waitlist CTA near every reusable asset, not only on the homepage.
  5. Use Search Console queries to decide the next 10 pages instead of guessing.
  6. Delay paid packs until pages show impressions, clicks, or signup intent.

Pitfalls to avoid

  • Do not build database/admin complexity before CSV curation becomes painful.
  • Do not add paid features before there is traffic or email intent.
  • Avoid duplicate thin pages; each page needs a distinct use case, prompt, or example.
