Short answer

Land and expand is a B2B growth strategy of winning a small initial deal in an account, then growing usage, seats or products over time. A low-friction entry lowers the barrier to buying, and proven value supports expansion. Success depends on strong onboarding, customer success and pricing that scales with adoption.
