Thank you for sharing. Best of luck on your journey.... - May I know how long it took to develop the product with how many ppl? - Any Tips on what is the best time to release SaaS products like monthend, weekend etc??

Thanks for the kind wishes.

- It took us 2 months and 3 people to build and launch the product along with all content and SEO work.

- I personally find Monday as the best day for launch and beginning of month.

Nice post and congrats. Thanks for sharing actual numbers. Can I ask how did you spend the SEO money? And did you do any further validation prior to building or simply used your own experience with existing solutions as validation?

I would definitely be interested in hearing about how SEO was done. In house or outsourced? Any particular strategies that can be replicated in a different domain?

You may want to take a look how Bitrix24 approaches helpdesk, even though they are free - https://www.bitrix24.com/tools/contact_center/ . The idea behind Front or Helpwise (and it looks like you are inspired by them) is that the biggest problem is routing requests between different people and collecting requests from all available channels in one place. The idea behind Bitrix24 is that 'single inbox' and 'multichannel' is just the beginning. Your helpdesk has to be a part of your communication and marketing machine. Intercom.io is having a similar approach. I believe it's more promising.

Did the Hunter help you a lot on getting early visibility on ProductHunt? I did a quick check on him and he is not on 500 hunters list.
