FAQs

Common Questions

How important are reviews and ratings?

Extremely important. Analytics with 4.5+ star ratings see 3-5x higher conversion rates. Actively request reviews from satisfied customers and respond professionally to all feedback, positive or negative.

Should I offer a free tier?

Yes! A generous free tier (1000-5000 calls/month) dramatically increases trial adoption while protecting margins on production usage. Most successful providers offer free tiers.

How do I compete with free alternatives?

Differentiate on reliability, performance, documentation, and support. Free alternatives often lack professional documentation and support. Emphasize your expertise and service quality.

What makes a good analytics description?

Start with value proposition (what it does and why it matters), include 3-5 specific use cases with examples, list key features as bullets, and end with technical details (data sources, update frequency, etc.).
