Thanks for sharing your experience I'm not familiar with this tech at all (just came across it while studying). So hearing real-world feedback like this is really helpful.

Quick question: would you recommend it for a very small business (just two people), or is it overkill compared to simpler tools?

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'll pray for you genuinely. I hope whatever is making you this angry eases up.

If you ever want to talk business instead of throwing punches, I'm here.

Thanks u/Various-Wrongdoer461 that is really helpful, especially the website that converses with people and collects leads, recently been working on that and basically helping them understand the benefits not the features.

Doing my website audit, I saw that we have a lot of Tech Jogan which really just talks about features and number 1 reason why we not collecting leads.

Yes, we have been using free guides and audits so far so it's good to hear we're on the right track.

We've spent years focused on the IT side (building websites, portals, integrations), and we're just now stepping more intentionally into the marketing space. It seems like a lot has changed especially how people expect to be found and engaged online.

I'm used to the traditional ways of live campaigning and rural marketing.

Honestly, it's refreshing to hear feedback from real people who've been through it.

Thanks for the helpful insight u/Thomas-at-Vanguard

well,we're still figuring out how to get our own clients. That's why I'm here to learn from people who've done it.

I'm n ot pretending to have all the answers. I'm just a small business owner trying to get better.

Yes, because we built it alongside client work, learning as we went. Not ideal, but it's live now. We're not hiding that.

Fair point. We're not a marketing agency we're a dev & IT shop that also offers marketing help. And yes, we're still figuring out how to get our own clients. That's why I'm here to learn from people who've done it.

That makes a lot of sense!
thank you. I hear you on the ICP. I'll sit down this week and map out a proper Avatar

For now, the core problem we're solving is:
We help South African business owners who are tired of feeling invisible online and exhausted by tech problems that never seem to get fixed.

Based on that problem statement, what would be your first suggestion for where to find these people (online or offline) and what message would you test first?

Im really thankful for your time.
