    Product-led growth (PLG) is a business strategy where the product itself drives customer acquisition, retention, and expansion, often through self-service models like free trials or freemium tiers, allowing users to experience value before paying. The product is designed to be intuitive, deliver immediate value, and encourage organic growth. PLG companies focus on creating a product that sells itself, reducing the need for traditional sales and marketing efforts.
