How to validate a SaaS idea in public
Public validation is a search for the problem in someone else’s words. If you cannot find a person describing the workaround, the idea is not ready for a louder channel. Silence is a result. It is not a cue to buy ads.

Search their workaround
Write the clumsy process a buyer uses today. Search that, plus “how do you” and “what do you use”. Do not search your invented product name. Nobody is discussing a name that does not exist yet.
Require a reason to act
A mention of the topic is not validation. Validation is a post that shows cost, delay, or a tool they want to leave. NedlyGo applies that bar when it qualifies conversations against a live website.
Reply before you build the extra feature
Answer two or three of those posts and see whether anyone wants the next step. A polite upvote is not a customer. A specific follow-up question is closer. Record what they actually asked, then decide what to build.
Questions
- What if I find nothing?
- Then the problem is not being discussed in public, or you are searching the wrong words. Both should pause the build.
- Can NedlyGo validate a site that is only a landing page?
- Only if that page states the buyer and the problem clearly enough to score posts against.
