Glossary

What is Product-led growth (PLG)?

A strategy where the product itself drives acquisition, conversion, and expansion, usually via self-serve sign-up.

PLG companies let users try the product before talking to sales, often with a free plan or trial, and rely on usage to drive upgrades.

Shareable features and built-in invites help the product spread on its own.

Why it matters when you launch

Launch traffic converts best when visitors can try the product immediately, without a demo call.
