2. Channelswhere new users come from and what the traffic looks like
New-user source: Other (Direct / referral / email / paid). Similarweb 2026-09 only gives the top three channels as Display, Direct, and Mail (traffic is too small, so the top channel's share shows as 0%; we estimate from rank that Display is about 55% and direct about 34%), with no keyword, referral, social, or country data. TrustMRR has no founder-reported channels. The website title explicitly targets the local term "Detroit Web Design", so it is reasonable to guess that new customers come from local search, word of mouth, and one-to-one contact by the founder, but there is no evidence. Existing customers stay through monthly subscription renewals, currently 15 subscriptions.
