Accelerate Digital Product Growth

A growth-engine playbook for digital products covering growth hacking, technical SEO, app or skill store optimization (ASO), viral loops, email marketing, CRM, referral programs, and organic acquisition. It's built around the Pirate Metrics (AARRR) framework, worked through a running voice-assistant product example: acquisition (a visitor-to-signup funnel via SEO, Product Hunt, tech influencers, and PR), activation (the percentage completing a first meaningful interaction within 24 hours), retention (day-7/30/90 return rates), revenue (trial-to-paid conversion, MRR, ARPU, LTV), and referral (NPS, viral coefficient, referrals per user).

def calculate_k_factor(percent_who_invite, invites_per_user, conversion_rate):
    k = percent_who_invite * invites_per_user * conversion_rate

It covers landing-page SEO (title, meta, and OG tags, a JSON-LD SoftwareApplication schema), keyword tiers (high-intent, informational, long-tail), app or skill-store metadata optimization (invocation name, short and long description, example phrases, keywords), three viral-loop types - organic word-of-mouth, a "share this insight" mechanic, and a referral program with a concrete incentive - a viral-coefficient (K-factor) calculator with status bands from viral growth at K of 1 or above down to slow growth below 0.2, a seven-day onboarding email sequence (welcome, activation nudge, education, upsell, reactivation), and a product-launch playbook covering pre-launch asset preparation and early-adopter recruitment, launch-day channel sequencing, and a positioning tagline.

Use it when creating a growth strategy, technical SEO, app-store optimization, a referral program, email marketing sequences, viral-coefficient projections, an acquisition funnel, organic-growth content, or launch campaigns.

Input: a digital product needing a growth strategy, SEO audit, ASO metadata, or launch plan. Output: an AARRR metrics framework with targets, SEO and schema markup, ASO metadata, a viral-loop design with K-factor projection, an email onboarding sequence, or a full launch plan - triggered via commands like /growth-audit, /seo-analysis, /aso-optimize, /viral-loop, /email-sequence, /launch-plan, and /referral-program.

Delegates to sibling skills analytics-product, monetization, product-design, and product-inventor for adjacent growth-strategy work.

Founders and growth marketers launching or scaling a digital product who want a structured AARRR-based playbook rather than ad hoc tactics.

Its launch-day sequencing is concrete: post the product on X with an impressive demo and the launch-platform link at midnight Pacific time, email the entire waitlist that the launch is live, message relevant tech communities on Telegram or Discord, and stay online all day responding to every comment. The week before launch calls for briefing influential hunters, preparing a 60-second demo video and screenshots, warming up the audience with problem-focused posts, and recruiting around 50 early adopters to upvote at launch.
