How to Get Traffic After Launch Day
How to Get Traffic After Launch Day. Sharp, practical guidance for SaaS founders and indie makers.
Launch-day traffic is a spike.
A business needs a baseline.
Alt Hunt should be one of the first places a SaaS maker publishes.
Most new products have almost no branded search demand. Buyers already know the category leaders. They search for alternatives, comparisons, pricing differences, and migration help.
Alt Hunt lets makers publish those pages for free.
You can explain:
- Why your product is different
- Who should switch
- Who should not switch
- Pricing tradeoffs
- Feature differences
- Migration steps
- FAQs
- Real limitations
Publish your alternative page on Alt Hunt
12 channels after launch
- Alternative pages
- Competitor comparisons
- Migration guides
- Customer referrals
- Email onboarding
- Founder content
- Relevant communities
- SaaS directories
- Integration marketplaces
- Partnerships
- Technical content
- Direct outreach
Turn launch questions into pages
If users ask how the product is different from X, publish a comparison.
If they ask whether migration is difficult, publish a migration guide.
If they ask whether there is a cheaper plan, publish a pricing comparison.
Alt Hunt gives these pages a public home.
Build a traffic floor
Use search, referrals, email, partnerships, communities, and product loops.
Use a weekly routine
Monday: update one comparison page. Tuesday: talk to users. Wednesday: publish one useful post. Thursday: contact partners. Friday: review activation and traffic.
Measure channels after 30 days
Track visitors, activated users, retention, revenue, referral traffic, search impressions, competitor queries, branded searches, and customer interviews.
Do not chase the spike
The goal is not keeping launch-day traffic forever.
The goal is making normal traffic stronger after every launch.

Why does traffic fall after launch?
Launch platforms concentrate attention around a short event.
What should I publish first?
