# How niche should my SaaS positioning be?

> Niche enough that the homepage names one specific cohort and one specific outcome in the hero section. 'A marketing tool' converts at near zero; 'A marketing diagnostic tool for B2B SaaS founders with under $10K MRR' converts. Broader positioning attracts more visitors but converts none of them.

## Supporting points

- The Wrong Person diagnosis catches positioning that's too broad. Most homepage rewrites that lift conversion 2-5x are niching down.
- Niche positioning compounds because the founder's content, ads, and outreach all become specific. Generic positioning fragments effort.
- You can always expand the niche later. Starting too broad is the harder mistake to fix.
