@sahilypatel interesting take, but how do you know if the product is just not up to standard or getting a good PMF signal?
High conversion rate / Low Churn rate?
But in general - very broad question. Always depends on industry, market size, etc...
I observe that our churn rate is low, which means customers are sticking with us because they find value in what we offer.

@aryan_kohli I see, would you say a buggy website will never reach PMF?

Sales. Particularly from word-of-mouth referrals.

@duffdevone good point! how do you track whether customers are from WOM?
If we see a steady increase in our revenue without having to spend heavily on marketing, it suggests our product is resonating well.

Has to be the revenue coming from the product. People vote with real money is the best sign that your product find its market.
Consistent positive feedback from users is a key sign. If customers regularly provide favorable reviews and testimonials, it indicates the product is well-received.
I think the number one sign of Product Market Fit is when customers are consistently coming back and using your product. If they keep coming back, it means they see real value in what you’re offering.
I believe a clear sign of Product Market Fit is when you start getting unsolicited positive feedback from users. When people reach out to tell you how much they love your product, you know you’re on the right track.
I think the biggest sign is when you start seeing organic growth in your user base. If people are finding and using your product without heavy marketing, it’s a sign that the product is meeting a genuine need.
High retention plus organic groth through word-of-mouth.

@mogthesify what is the biggest sign you see when there is WOM? I personally think it's hard to track sometimes
@harrischh If it's hard to track, then your not getting enough ;-) anyway, if your traffic increases independent of ad traffic and paid referrals, that's when your getting WOM.
