Paid competition - the proof
1 incumbents are live on Google Ads (1 of them "persistent" - advertising ≥1 year and still active, the profitability proxy), averaging 0.9 yr of ad tenure. 0 advertise on LinkedIn and 0 run retargeting pixels (multi-channel paid presence). Combined SEMrush ad budget is $33k/mo.
High, sustained, multi-channel spend = a proven, copyable acquisition channel. Spend is present but not deep - validate the channel before committing budget.
Incumbents to displace
