New-user source: Viral (Built-in sharing). Similarweb estimates organic search at about 44.7% of new visits, direct at about 40.4%, referral at about 8.9%, and paid traffic at 0%. Search keywords are almost all long-tail questions, such as 'are bars open in clermont ferrand on sundays' and 'places to go out in sydney on a thursday', which match the venue pages the site generates by city/type/day of week; the brand keyword 'besttime' is only about 20%. The channel the founder self-reported on TrustMRR is SEO and blog (blog.besttime.app has comparison articles such as Placer.ai/SafeGraph alternatives). Social shows up only on X. The website pricing page has a referral program (20% of monthly revenue back) and embeddable visitor widgets, the two ways existing users bring in new ones.
