Whether you sell SEO, design, or software, historical WHOIS data helps you find the companies that need you most.
We specialize in identifying dormant online opportunities. Our process starts by uncovering domains registered 5-8 years ago that remain untouched—often representing forgotten projects or outdated business ideas. Using targeted outreach, we connect directly with the original owner via their personal email and present a custom modern redesign proposal that aligns with today’s web standards, user experience expectations, and responsive design principles. Let us help you revive these digital assets and turn yesterday’s idea into today’s polished, high-converting website.
Owning a domain for over a decade is a sign of stability—but if traffic remains low, it’s a sign of missed opportunity. We use historical domain and ranking data to audit long-standing websites with poor visibility. Then, we track down the current owner—often the original founder or a legacy business holder—and deliver a data-backed report showing exactly how much organic potential has been lost over the years. Our pitch includes a clear, actionable SEO roadmap to reclaim rankings, drive targeted traffic, and unlock revenue that’s been waiting in plain sight.
E-commerce sites that launched between 2016–2018 are often perfectly positioned for mobile transformation. We identify these successful web stores and analyze their user behavior, sales data, and platform limitations. Then, we pitch a dedicated mobile application that enhances shopping experience, boosts retention, and increases average order value through push notifications, one-touch payments, and personalized user journeys. Let’s convert your responsive site into a native mobile storefront.
Many early-stage SaaS founders launched their MVPs years ago—and some are still running on the same legacy code. Our team locates these founders and analyzes their tech stack to identify scaling bottlenecks, security risks, and performance issues. We then offer tailored development services to refactor, modernize, and scale their platforms. Whether it’s migrating to a cloud infrastructure, introducing microservices, or improving API integrations, we help turn outdated MVPs into robust, market-ready applications.
Between 2015 and 2017, thousands of brands rushed to secure social media handles during the digital boom—only to let them go silent. We target these inactive social profiles linked to registered domains and analyze their engagement history. Our outreach focuses on reactivating these channels with a tailored content strategy, community management, and paid social campaigns designed to reignite brand presence and connect with modern audiences on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and TikTok.
Access is everything in B2B sales. Using our proprietary database and enrichment tools, we build highly targeted, verified email lists of business owners—complete with direct phone numbers and physical addresses. Our lists are segmented by industry, company size, location, and tech stack, enabling hyper-personalized outreach for SaaS, agencies, consultants, and enterprise vendors. Stop guessing and start connecting with decision-makers who are ready to buy.
