Platforms your competitors overlook
WhatsApp Business + Communities
~3B users; business messages hit 95-98% open rates vs ~20% for email

631M users with 5.6x the purchase intent of other social platforms; 80% of weekly users have bought from it
Everyone fights for attention on Instagram while Pinterest pins keep sending traffic for months, it works like search, not a feed
Answer Engine Optimization (AI search)
AI search referrals up 16x since 2024 and growing ~165x faster than organic; AI Overviews now appear in ~50% of Google searches; visitors from AI answers convert ~11x better than organic search (1.66% vs 0.15%)
