Diagnose your growth bottleneck and get your next-step action list.
Growth Compass is built for indie developers with under 1,000 users, MRR below $1,000, planning to grow overseas. Your pain isn't "not knowing the methods" — it's "not knowing which one to do now". We use deterministic rules to tell you:where you're stuck now, what to do over the next 30 days, the standard for each task, which metrics to watch — and what not to do right now.

GROWTH ROADMAP
8 Growth Stages
From idea to sustainable growth, split into 8 stages. Each stage names its North-Star metric, the recommended moves, and what to avoid — so you stop guessing your next step.
Stage 1
Find People & Validate
Proactively find your first real target users and validate that the pain point actually exists, instead of waiting for organic traffic.
Stage 2
Pricing & Conversion
Choose the right monetization model based on value and cost structure so the product starts generating revenue instead of losing money the more it is used.
Stage 3
Side Project Growth
Continuously acquire users with small tools that share your audience, converting traffic into email subscribers and main-product users.
Stage 4
Multi-Platform Launch
Launch concurrently on Product Hunt / HN / Reddit / directories to capture the first wave of exposure and turn it into a lasting asset.
Stage 5
SEO Content Assets
Build a keyword pool and produce intent-matched content, turning traffic from event-driven into an asset.
Stage 6
Backlinks & Media Trust
Build high-quality backlinks and media trust through safe white-hat methods to raise domain authority.
Stage 7
GEO / AEO Citations
Get AI search engines like ChatGPT / Perplexity to cite your product in answers, capturing the AI-era traffic gateway.
Stage 8
AI Automated Audits
Use AI workflows to automatically audit SEO / GEO health weekly, forming a cadence of continuous improvement.

RED LINES
Growth Tactics We Don't Recommend
These moves will never show up in our recommendations or the "safe to do" list — the downside wipes out the upside, and can undo months of progress.
Growth Compass has built-in red lines and will never recommend these tactics:
- Product Hunt vote farming / vote swapping
- VPN / IP evasion of platform risk controls
- Fake Reddit account farming
- Mass DMs to solicit votes
- PBN / buying spam backlinks
- Keyword stuffing
- Mass low-quality AI articles
- Fake reviews / fake testimonials / fabricated media citations
These tactics can lead to platform bans, SEO demotions, brand-trust damage, or even wiping out months of growth.
