I'm someone in your direct market and had no idea what your service does for me for at least 2 minutes of being on your site. Why would I want a marketplace? What is an expert and what are they an expert of? So many questions... I'd look into your messaging, definitely. It takes a while to click and I'm still not 100% sure what you do.

Appreciate your feedback here. Can definitely see ways we can improve the messaging. I know you're asking some questions to probe our thinking but I'll answer them here anyway for clarity.

Marketplaces are good because a lot of times, users want someone to just do it for them rather than teaching themselves with docs, tutorials, and forums. There's always a time tradeoff and sometimes it's worth it to just pay someone. This is why there are https://experts.mailchimp.com, https://www.google.com/partners, etc. We make adding this layer service more accessible to SaaS companies–and it's a 10x better service for the end user because of our technology.

'Expert' is our term for the freelancer. They're an expert of the software itself. So a Google AdWords expert, or a Mailchimp Expert.

While perhaps they should clean up the messaging, to me it's a curated marketplace for consultants that specialize in specific SaaS apps (say, MailChimp or Intercom) as opposed to most freelancer marketplaces that categorize by broader technologies like programming languages.

Yes, bingo. I'd suggest reading into how this person described your business. :)
