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 3.2 yr of ad tenure. 1 advertise on LinkedIn and 1 run retargeting pixels (multi-channel paid presence). Combined SEMrush ad budget is -/mo.
High, sustained, multi-channel spend = a proven, copyable acquisition channel. Spend is present but not deep - validate the channel before committing budget.
