🚀 Marketplace Listings

I look up each listing in Ahrefs and give a 📈 if 6 month organic traffic is trending up, or a 📉 if it’s trending down, or 🫓 if it's flat. I also take a quote from the listing page - these are not my words, do your own due diligence and/or use a service such as Centurica or DueDilio.

Don’t forget our Top 20 Upside Wins for Website Acquisitions insights report (in partnership with TreasureHunter) to apply to any new website acquisition.
