Question 1

Who is SignalMax for?

Accepted Answer

Founder-led software businesses running their own growth. You enter your product, and SignalMax watches your market, recommends the moves that matter, prepares the work, helps you execute through your own connected accounts, and measures what happened.

Question 2

Does it support both B2B and consumer / prosumer software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. B2B software uses account-based prospecting and sales outreach. Consumer and prosumer software leans on self-serve acquisition, content, community engagement and product conversion. SignalMax runs the same Discover, Decide, Act, Measure, Learn loop for both; the actions it recommends differ with your model. It does not assume you sell to companies or that you need LinkedIn.

Question 3

What happens after I enter my website?

Accepted Answer

SignalMax reads your site to understand your product, market, ICP and competitors, sets up your workspace, and starts surfacing growth opportunities with the evidence behind each one. You review and confirm what it understood before acting on it.

Question 4

How are growth actions selected?

Accepted Answer

Signals from across your market are scored against your product and your objectives, then cut down to a short, ranked list of moves worth your time. Each one carries its evidence, its objective and the work attached to it, so you can see why it was chosen before you approve it.

Question 5

What does SignalMax create?

Accepted Answer

Drafts for your review: blog and GEO articles, landing-page copy, social posts, ad creative, directory submissions, community replies and personalized LinkedIn outreach. Alongside the work, it maintains your market and competitor intelligence, your AI-answer visibility, your website visitor analytics and your in-product usage analytics.

Question 6

What can it publish or send?

Accepted Answer

On your approval of each piece, SignalMax posts from the accounts you have connected (LinkedIn, X and Instagram, where it also replies to comments and DMs) and prepares LinkedIn outreach to send from your own account. Community replies and directory submissions are drafted for you to post yourself. Nothing is published or sent automatically.

Question 7

What requires my approval?

Accepted Answer

Every outward action. Each post, each outreach message and each page waits for you to approve it. SignalMax does the research and the drafting; you decide what goes out and when.

Question 8

Which accounts must I connect?

Accepted Answer

Only the ones for what you want to do. Add a short tracking snippet to your website to see visitors and in-product usage. Connect LinkedIn to post and run LinkedIn outreach (prospect lists need LinkedIn Sales Navigator), X to post, and Instagram to post and reply to comments and DMs. You choose which to connect; the intelligence and content work with none connected.

Question 9

Can I use it without LinkedIn?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Market and competitor intelligence, SEO and GEO content, AI-visibility work, community drafting, website and product analytics, and idea validation all work without LinkedIn. LinkedIn is only needed to post to LinkedIn or to run LinkedIn prospecting and outreach.

Question 10

What is manual versus automated?

Accepted Answer

SignalMax automates the watching, the scoring and the drafting, so the work arrives done. Execution is gated: posting and outreach go out only from accounts you connect, and only after you approve each item. Community replies and directory submissions are yours to post. There is no cron that posts for you.

Question 11

What can it measure?

Accepted Answer

Website visitors and the companies behind anonymous visits, conversions, in-product usage such as activation, funnels and retention, post engagement where an account is connected, AI-answer citations, and LinkedIn connections and replies. Each outcome is kept next to the action that preceded it. It shows what happened; it does not claim to prove a single cause.

Question 12

How frequently does it refresh?

Accepted Answer

SignalMax watches your market continuously and refreshes your growth actions on a regular cadence: about every two weeks on Founder and weekly on Growth. Website, visitor and usage data update as it arrives.

Question 13

What differs between the plans?

Accepted Answer

Both plans run the whole loop and include the full playbook library, plain-English playbook customization and unlimited saved playbooks. Founder is $59/month for one software product: up to 3 automated playbooks running at once, a standard usage allowance, 5 competitors monitored, and actions refreshed about every two weeks. Growth is $129/month with more room to run: up to 10 automated playbooks at once, a larger usage allowance, 15 competitors monitored, weekly refresh, and deeper outcome and analytics history.

Question 14

What is an automated playbook, and what counts toward the limit?

Accepted Answer

An automated playbook runs on its own from a trigger or schedule, for example: when a LinkedIn connection accepts, prepare a personalized prospect report and a follow-up. Only active automated playbooks count toward your plan's limit. Drafts, paused and archived playbooks don't, and you can pause one to turn on another. Running a playbook by hand uses usage credits but not an automation slot. Messages still wait for your approval before they send.

Question 15

What happens when I reach my usage allowance?

Accepted Answer

Each run uses credits from your plan's monthly allowance, and you'll see a notice as you get close. When it runs out, new runs pause until your plan renews (or you can upgrade). There are no automatic overage charges, and your reports and saved work stay available.

Question 16

What expenses are separate?

Accepted Answer

LinkedIn prospecting uses your own LinkedIn Sales Navigator subscription, which you provide. Any paid advertising you choose to run is billed by the ad platform, not by SignalMax. Nothing else is required to run the core loop.

Question 17

How do cancellation and additional products work?

Accepted Answer

Plans are monthly. Cancel anytime; access runs to the end of the billing period. When you are ready to build or to scale dedicated sales, your workspace can carry forward into ProductBrain and SignalMax GTM so you do not start from scratch.

Question 18

Can SignalMax also validate an idea before I build?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as a secondary capability. If you are pre-launch or reassessing, it can evaluate the market evidence behind an idea, its competitors, assumptions and risks, and show what to validate next. It does not prove customers will pay; that still takes direct customer conversations and real behavioral evidence.
