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 2.8 yr of ad tenure. 6 advertise on LinkedIn and 9 run retargeting pixels (multi-channel paid presence). Combined SEMrush ad budget is $72k/mo.
High, sustained, multi-channel spend = a proven, copyable acquisition channel. The depth here strongly suggests profitable demand.
Incumbents to displace
The weakest profitable incumbents - already paying to acquire into soft-rated products. Copy their channel, beat their product.
