Problem solution
Building web pages is a complex task. Yet, most websites have one goal: convert visitors to customers. Building a high-converting web page is the core problem q-page is trying to solve.
TillCarlos.com
Target market
Internet marketers, PPC consultants, website admins, entrepreneurs, startups
Because the pricing is cheap and startups tend to do things themselves (like building landing pages)
All these are my assumptions. There are no case studies or customer lists on q-page.com.
TillCarlos.com
Market for landing page generators
All of them are inexpensive, easy-to-use and connect well with other softwareSee my analysis of webflow here.
TillCarlos.com
Pricing
Looks perfect for a PPC agency.
Not suitable for a single-founder website, but cheap anyway (“Why does someone need more than 1 page?”)
TillCarlos.com
Second pricing tier Is this a bootstrapped business out of an SEO/PPC agency?
TillCarlos.comThe tool itself is simple and straightforward.

Pagespeed
What the hell?

Existing clients Too big JPG encoded in HTML on http://georg-grad.com/

On-Page SEO Most rules are passed
Checked with seositecheckup.com
This can be the slow page load time I have experienced. (even for the tool it was 10.7 seconds)

Visible Marketing
Normally I go into detail of various marketing methods. (e.g. the Meshfire teardown). q-page has very little, so I combine them.
TillCarlos.com
Video contentThey have a charismatic CEO who can talk English well. More videos are definitely doable.
Maybe too charismatic at this point. However, I don’t know what the mostly Russian audience wants. Things need to be tried out.

Video content
Speed usage videos help see what the software does without entering the trial Example here.

YouTube Nobody has YouTube under control. These recommendations distract visitors away from your content.
And in this case: content I did not want to see…

Landing page
Proper landing page with a lot of templates

Ideas

Content marketing
Do what LeadPages did:
● Run a lot of tests and publish results● Speak on other people’s podcasts about these
results● Give away tons of value for free
TillCarlos.com
Niche down
Make templates for specific industries. No dentist would buy another software if Q-page is the “expert in high-converting pages for dentists”.
Then: educate exactly that industry with all kinds of problems they face in their marketing.
TillCarlos.com
Offer it for free
Offer the software for free in exchange for a testimonial. Seek to get data-driven testimonials, ideally from people using PPC
TillCarlos.com
Integrate it
Build APIs to other software like Mailchimp etc. Find out what APIs the competitors do not have and offer a solution to the market.
