How: SEO 🚀
All I did was rebuild the site using

Next.js and implement SEO best practises. Less than 3 days work
My friends roasted me for hand-delivering window stickers to restaurants all over London. Why are you wasting your time? This will never work! The design is ugly they’ll throw it in the bin
This is the 177th restaurant im signing up this year through INBOUND! 😋
We really did that! 🚀
Now i need a team to take this forward

Flexible commitment. Haven’t figured out the details yet but i’m always 100% transparent

this is bs – shorting is a scam

Landing page is still largely unfinished but the ✨SEO SAUCE✨ is already driving more traffic than expected
Still only one organic conversion though, and I blame my pathetic design and copywriting skills
So I’m A/B testing some language changes and will measure after 2 weeks
Needed to free up some of my own time so I hired someone to manage content for Halal Joints… and they’re killing it!!! 100 new restaurants added every week last month 🔥
I think it’s time to start looking outside London 👀
Could Apple not wait until after the weekend to roll out iOS 15? They moved the address bar in Safari and I don’t have time for users to complain about issues like this again 😭😭
Almost 4 weeks exactly since I launched this update
And like clockwork my SEO tweaks have kicked in and doubled traffic
That’s why I always suggest doing SEO in 4-6 week cycles. It requires patience but if you can’t measure your results you won’t get anywhere

3. Design icon set, and upload it to

Whenever I’ve spoken to
@ShahzadYounas_
this is the message that always shines through. I agree with every bone in my body: products built for our community must be built by our community. Hope you buss case my g 👊🏽
We fight, because we must. It is crucial that products built for our community are built BY our community, and that we do not allow ourselves to be dictated and controlled by others. Our mission is to transform how Muslims meet and marry.
If product market fit is the true measure of investment-worthiness then I know a few books that should be worth a trillion dollars
