A day after launch and we're still not ranked, even with substantial support.

I'm not here to rant and I appreciate all the supports we've received on our launch: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/wizlink-ai Not only did we suffer from visibility issue on the platform, we weren't featured on the homepage and our supporters have mostly been early subscribers, thus organic. Now, a day after launch we're still not getting ranked in the daily or weekly ranking. What's up, Product Hunt?! If you've experienced this or have any idea what the problem is, please share. Thanks

I’m sorry to hear Yemi, did you get any traction at all in terms of new users? I hope PH helps you out

@slimmy82 Thanks Slim! Yeah, I hope they help. We can still get back on track for a good weekly ranking with the organic momentum we currently have. Re: traction, not as expected but we're appreciative everyone that supported took their time out to check us out.

hi Yemi, i understand it's tough when product hunt rankings don't reflect your effort and support. sometimes, visibility is affected by factors beyond just engagement, like timing and day of the week. so please keep building on your organic support, reach out to product hunt for insights, and don't get discouraged. anyone else have similar experiences?

Hey there! Launch hiccups can happen, and it's frustrating when visibility doesn't align with the effort you've put in. You might want to reach out to the Product Hunt team directly through their support channels. They can provide insights, and assistance, or investigate if there are any issues with your listing. Keep the momentum going, and I hope things pick up soon! 🚀

@jaxon_smith3 Hi Jaxon, thanks for your response. Yes, it's really frustrating. We had the momentum from organic traffic but were denied visibility through platform exposure. I've reached out to support and all I'm getting is generic, template responses.

I am relatively new to PH, how does the support work ?

@kaushik_mukherjee1 No contact number, it's just email/the little chat thing in the bottom right of your screen when you land on the platform.

Ranking on Product Hunt can be influenced by various factors. Consider continuing engagement with the community, sharing updates, responding to comments, and seeking additional feedback. Persistence and ongoing interaction can contribute to improved visibility and ranking over time.

@james_will1 As an entrepreneur, I need to re-evaluate my time and energy on the platform but happy to keep supporting makers of good launches.
