Two Modes: PMF Testing vs Conversion-Driven

Mode When Budget Landing page Metrics
PMF testing Pre-PMF; validate idea before building $47–500; start small Simple LP: headline, benefits, problem solved, CTA ("Join Waitlist," "Get Early Access") CTR, sign-up rate, bounce rate; low CTR/high bounce = messaging/positioning issue
Conversion-driven PMF validated; commercialization Scale; ROAS target Full funnel; ad-to-page alignment ROAS, CAC, conversion rate

PMF testing: No full product needed. Build landing page with Unbounce, Carrd, or Webflow. Run ads to relevant search terms; measure clicks, engagement, signups. Test messaging (e.g., "Fastest App for Freelancers" vs "Simplest Time Tracker for Teams"), pricing (different price points in ads/LP), and audiences (keyword targeting, in-market). Allow 4–6 weeks for PMax learning phase. Use as learning tool, not just marketing channel.
