Product Boosting
Amplify your product's visibility and get quality feedback faster with strategic boosting.
What is Product Boosting?
Boosting gives your product premium placement across RoastMyProd for 24 hours. Your product appears at the top of feeds, gets a featured badge, and is prioritized in Smart Matching - dramatically increasing visibility and review velocity.
Think of it as putting a spotlight on your product right when you need feedback most.
What You Get When You Boost
Featured Badge
A prominent "Featured" badge appears on your product card, drawing attention and signaling this is a priority product actively seeking feedback.
Top Positioning
Your product appears at the very top of the homepage, browse page, and category listings. Maximum visibility where users look first.
3-5x More Views
Boosted products receive 3-5 times more views than non-boosted products, translating directly into more reviews and engagement.
Priority Matching
Boosted products get highest priority in Smart Matching, shown first to excellent matches who are most likely to give quality reviews.
24-Hour Duration
Your boost lasts for a full 24 hours from activation, giving you a complete day of maximum visibility to capture reviews.
Boost Analytics
Track boost performance with detailed analytics: views, clicks, reviews generated, and engagement metrics during your boost period.
How Boosting Works
Select Your Product
Go to your product page and click the "Boost Product" button. Make sure your product description, screenshots, and details are polished before boosting for maximum impact.
Spend 50 Credits
Boosting costs 50 credits. These can be earned by reviewing other products (10 credits per review) or received as a monthly bonus with Pro/Business subscriptions.
Activate Immediately
Your boost activates instantly and lasts for 24 hours. A countdown timer shows how much boost time remains. Your product immediately jumps to the top of all listings.
Engage Actively
While boosted, reply quickly to reviews, like comments, and engage with reviewers. Active engagement during your boost period builds momentum and encourages even more participation.
When Should You Boost?
✅ Great Times to Boost
- •Launch Day: Boost immediately after submitting to maximize initial visibility
- •Major Updates: Re-boost when you ship significant features or redesigns
- •Weekdays (Mon-Thu): More reviewers are active during weekdays
- •Morning Hours: Boost at 8-10am for all-day visibility
- •Before Major Campaigns: Build initial feedback before a Product Hunt or HN launch
❌ Less Effective Times
- •Late Friday or weekends (lower reviewer activity)
- •While your product has major issues or is incomplete
- •Without good screenshots or clear description
- •During holidays when traffic is lower
- •Multiple products at the same time (you can only boost one product at a time)
Boosting Strategy & Best Practices
📊 Plan Your Boost Budget
Each boost costs 50 credits. If you review 5 products per month (50 credits), you can boost once. Pro subscribers get 200 credits/month, enough for 4 boosts. Plan boosts around key milestones.
🎯 Optimize Before Boosting
Your product should be in its best state before boosting. Update screenshots, refine your description, add a compelling tagline, and make sure everything loads properly. You only get one chance at a first impression.
💬 Be Ready to Engage
Clearing your schedule during a boost period pays off. Reply to reviews within 1-2 hours, answer questions, and show you're actively listening. This encourages more people to review your product.
🔄 Combine with External Promotion
Amplify your boost by sharing on Twitter, LinkedIn, or communities while your product is boosted. When external traffic hits RoastMyProd and sees your product at the top, they're more likely to engage.
📈 Track Performance
Monitor your boost analytics to see views, clicks, and reviews generated. Note what worked well and apply those insights to your next boost.
Is Boosting Worth It?
Absolutely. The typical return on a 50-credit boost:
Detailed feedback from engaged reviewers
Boosted products average 300-500 views in 24 hours
Specific improvements identified per boost
Compare that to the effort of manually reaching out to 5-10 people for feedback. Boosting is dramatically more efficient.
