Breaking into the top 20, 10, or 5 on launch day is like getting the extra sprinkles on your ice cream cone - it definitely adds that extra bit of sweetness to your success! It can bring in a flurry of new sign-ups and propel your growth faster than a rocket-powered unicorn!

Answer

I observed that even reaching the top 20 can lead to a snowball effect of organic discovery and user endorsements, accelerating growth in the early stages.

I launched recently and hit #4 on PH. The initial spike in traffic and signups was amazing, but it settled down after a few days. I'd say making the top 5 gives you great exposure and social proof to use in future marketing. Leveraging the PH badge and mention on social media, ads, etc. helps build trust. But just the launch itself won't carry you long-term - you need to keep the momentum going with content, features, partnerships and other growth tactics. Good luck with your launch today! Track signups closely and iterate fast based on feedback.
