Site Decay
For web agencies

Fresh leads: local businesses whose websites are breaking right now.

We watch tens of thousands of small-business websites and catch the moment they slip: expired security certificates, hacked pages, sites that don’t work on phones, designers who’ve gone out of business. You get the businesses near you, checked live, with the proof.

Free: 5 leads checked live with screenshots, plus your area’s full list in your dashboard. No card, no password.

How it works

1

Tell us where you work

Your ZIP code, and the kinds of businesses you build for if you have a niche.

2

We check every site around you

Every local business website we can find, checked live: security, hacks, phones, outdated software, abandoned designers.

3

Leads land in your dashboard

Business name, website, phone, town and exactly what’s wrong, with screenshots. Fresh ones every month.

Two kinds of leads

They haven’t asked for help yet. The owner usually doesn’t know. That’s your opening: telling them something true about their business, with proof.

Freshly broken

Something just went wrong, and their customers are seeing it today.

  • Security certificate expired, or about to
  • Hacked: spam or casino links planted in the site
  • Site down, erroring, or an outdated WordPress breaking
  • Contact form marked “Not secure”

Stale and abandoned

Nobody has touched the site in years, and it shows.

  • No secure version: browsers say “Not secure”
  • Not built for phones
  • Copyright years out of date
  • The web designer in the footer has gone out of business

The numbers behind it

From our own live checks and crawl, refreshed every month.
