Publish Coming Soon Pages Before Domain Marketing Spends

When this applies

Turn to this pattern when ads or conference swag mention a domain early but the app is not ready. Coming soon beats raw DNS errors—still avoid fabricated ship dates that torch trust.

Steps

  1. 1Choose countdown or qualitative teaser copy consistent with reality.
  2. 2Add email capture if you can respond within days, not months silently.
  3. 3Wire basic analytics respecting consent banners if EU users land.
  4. 4Plan redirect to real home when launch toggles without orphaning backlinks.

Examples

  • VC-backed startup teasers after name reveal articles.
  • Indie game Steam page links placeholder domain pre-trailer.

What to avoid

  • Auto-playing heavy video on phones draining conference Wi-Fi users.
  • No CSP-safe embeds causing console errors worrying technical visitors.
  • Countdown hitting zero with still no product and no message.
