What is Product-Led Growth?
A business strategy where the product itself drives customer acquisition, conversion, and retention.
Product-led growth (PLG) is a go-to-market strategy that relies on the product itself — rather than sales teams — as the primary driver of customer acquisition, conversion, and expansion. PLG companies offer free trials or freemium tiers, optimize onboarding for self-service, and use in-product behavior to identify expansion opportunities. Metrics like activation rate, time-to-value, and product-qualified leads replace traditional sales metrics.
