Paid competition - the proof

9 incumbents are live on Google Ads (9 of them "persistent" - advertising ≥1 year and still active, the profitability proxy), averaging 3.1 yr of ad tenure. 5 advertise on LinkedIn and 8 run retargeting pixels (multi-channel paid presence). Combined SEMrush ad budget is $294k/mo.

High, sustained, multi-channel spend = a proven, copyable acquisition channel. The depth here strongly suggests profitable demand.
