Pitch angles this data suggests
- 50% of the sites we crawled have no analytics tag. Those owners can't see where their leads come from, which is an easy opening for an analytics or SEO offer.
- Only 7% run an ad pixel, so most aren't retargeting visitors. Paid-ads agencies have a lot of untouched accounts here.
- 96% have no chat widget. Chat, answering and lead-capture tools have a clear gap to point at.
- 63% have fewer than 20 Google reviews. Review-generation offers can quote a concrete gap against the leaders.
- 38% of listings have no website at all. Those are web design prospects (LeadMerlin returns them for free, without email enrichment).
