Our website's mission is to democratize financial data and insights that were once exclusive to analysts in institutional settings, making them accessible to all users. We achieve this through three key elements that drive organic traffic: 1. Data as the Core of Our Product - Numbers are universal, which is why we use charts as the soul of MacroMicro. They speak to a global audience. 2. Strengthening SEO with Sustainable Content - Data tells stories, and supplementary text creates sustainable content for long-term SEO success. This approach secures steady organic traffic, cutting down on extensive ad spending. 3. Choosing Ever-Relevant Topics - Finance is a field that generates fresh news daily, providing an endless stream of engaging content. Last but not the least, we focus on exciting projects and avoid repetitive campaigns. We're always exploring and adopting new methods. Let’s use this AMA to exchange ideas and help each other grow!

What do think if I start an Ads consultancy company? How can I bring more inbound traffic?

@knowmemore Thank you for your question. I understand that each industry provides different types of content. Here's my perspective: Advertisers often have a wealth of traffic data. You might consider integrating this data (e.g., actual client numbers or public marketing data) into your platform. This approach can attract potential buyers interested in trends, rather than just those seeking ads consultancy. I hope this helps!

Just curious how can you build in data into your product as very early stage? Or you have so many donuts to buy data?
Rachel Chen
@chien_thein Public data is a crucial initial asset, but more importantly, it's about how you find insights and transform them to your users. In 2016, I also had very limited initial funding, so I focused on subscription services as my primary product. I made more functional commercial use of my limited data assets and gradually expanded coverage over time. FYI.

Hello Rachel, glad to have a direct contact here with the owner of MacroMicro company. I discovered the MacroMicro tool in 2023 and having all financial data condensed in a tool where we can use quantitative data to build new graphs is the key to understand market moves. Are there plans to integrate additional data APIs into MacroMicro, thus expanding the range of available data sources? I believe we could benefit from incorporating more information regarding the eurozone sector area and commodity assets into MacroMicro. (Example: Sugar Exports, Imports, Production, Comsuption, Stock-to-use, Supply Demand, etc).

@tadeu_porto Definitely, thank you very much for recognizing MacroMicro last year. We also welcome more macroeconomic data to present to our users together. We can discuss cooperation directly via email. Please send your inquiries to business@macromicro.me Thanks. Looking forward to hear from you.

@rachel_chen2 Good, I will prepare an email next week with all ideas and some good sources where I gather free data to formulate trading ideas. There is some websites here in Brazil that are in portuguese and have free data sources since my country is commodity dependent.

It's not easy to achieve steady organic traffic without ads. How long did it take for you to see significant growth?
Rachel Chen
@gloriaandersonn Thanks for your comment. We took around 3 years to reach this organic result. It's worth to invest on data, service development.
