Someone searching for image compression may need to email a set of photos right now. Explaining that your tool handles several photos in a mobile browser gives them a concrete reason to try it.

Backlinks create another entrance

A link from a relevant blog, comparison or development article can bring interested visitors directly. Google also uses links to understand relationships between pages. Useful coverage supports both discovery and referrals.

Give people something useful to link to

A short workflow or a focused comparison is easy to recommend. Choose one useful task and explain it well, including the features that make it simpler.

Start where your audience spends time

Relevant directories and communities can introduce your service to people who need it. Write a description that suits each audience. Useful introductions offer more than paid links or large reciprocal-link schemes.
