Where do users come from?
On Traffic estimate, the top channel is direct visits at 39.2%, followed by organic search, then referrals; there are only 5 keywords in total, the brand keyword directorly plus a few directory-building terms (directory maker, directory website maker, directory template website builder free, create directory websites on demand), so traffic is very small. The website uses a free course (courses.directorly.app) and a free launch checklist (email required) to draw traffic, uses a $1 starter trial to lower the payment barrier, and had a BOO50 discount code for Halloween. On the Revenue record page, the founder says customers come from "digital marketing channels and word-of-mouth referrals" and did not fill in a specific channel. The source of the first paying users was not found.
Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.
