- Select “users located in San Francisco” and launch the personalization.
The A/B-testing-for-SEO tool now works for conversions, too

How to get to product–market fit
There’s no point doing CRO on a product you can’t sell, and there’s no point trying a sell a product no one wants. Product–market fit is startup language for having something some people want.
Product–market fit isn’t a binary thing. It’s not something you either have or don’t. It’s a sliding scale, and the better it gets, the easier everything else becomes.
“The most common mistake startups make is to solve problems no one has.”—Paul Graham
