What this data covers
Hair salons, plumbers, gyms, beauty salons and barbers in the South African areas LeadSweep users scanned. These are the areas and trades our users chose to scan, not a random sample of every business in South Africa, so treat the percentages as a guide to those markets.
“No website” means the business listing has no website link. Some of those businesses have a site they never added, and a listed site can still be broken or out of date, which is often just as good a pitch. The method is the same as in our study of 4,370 listings.
Searching in South Africa
- Search a suburb ("Mayfair, Johannesburg", "Sea Point, Cape Town") rather than a whole metro.
- Hair and beauty salons were the trades most likely to have no website here.
