15 statements about Acuity Scheduling, every show
Naveen SG: Calendly and Acuity are built only for email scheduling
“All the traditional softwares which are there, like Calendly or Acuity Scheduling, they are all built for email address based appointment only.”
Naveen SG: Leadmonk targets long-tail SEO because Calendly dominates short-tail keywords
“Some of the long keywords, we are focusing mainly on the long keywords, because all the short keywords are taken over by the calendar, the acuity scheduling, all this. We can't really bid on that.”
Acuity Scheduling was originally built for founder's mother, a massage therapist
“It was actually originally developed for my mom. She's a massage therapist way back in the day. And I saw her going back and forth trying to just schedule clients, reschedule, and all of that, so I had built this for her”
Zuchlinski gained Acuity's first paying user in one week via SEO
“During the first year I did zero marketing and within the only that I really did was a little bit of SEO and within a week somebody had signed up and actually paid me.”
Acuity Scheduling has been profitable since its very first day
“Acuity had been profitable since day one”
Zuchlinski keeps his team small primarily for his own enjoyment
“I think that it has all sorts of secondary benefits to when you keep things small, but the primary one is making it easy and manageable and enjoyable for myself.”
Acuity Scheduling active users and revenue are growing 10% month-over-month
“So right now we're at about a 10% month over month increase in all of that.”
Acuity Scheduling's subscription plans max out at $34 per month
“We have a couple of plans, and they're all pretty darn cheap. Starting from free, and then the very max is 34 dollars per month.”
85% of Acuity Scheduling active users are on paid subscription plans
“About 85% of our active users are actually on paid accounts. And only 15% on free ones.”
90% of Acuity Scheduling's growth comes organically or through referrals
“Probably about 90% of our growth either comes through referrals or it's through just organic results or something along those lines.”
Acuity Scheduling spent $40,000 on paid marketing experiments in August 2016
“I think last month it was about 40,000 dollars.”
Zuchlinski avoids scaling profitable marketing channels to prevent hiring staff
“When we find a profitable channel, I don't add more money into there. Just cause I said, I don't actually like hiring people that keeps me happy, keeps our team small, reduces communication overhead and keeps our customers happy too”
Acuity Scheduling monthly gross customer churn is roughly 8%
“Gross customer churn is about eight percent per month.”
