The Great Decoupling
A twelve-month forensic digital analysis of 101 randomized U.S. marine dealerships across revenue tiers, geographies, and ownership structures.
The finding is not contraction.
It is a measurable shift in how demand is created and captured.
What the Data Shows
Activity is increasing. Control is not.
18%
of average dealership traffic comes from non-branded search
+ 3X Value
Businesses with owned demand infrastructure command materially higher valuation multiples.
+ 87%
of visits come from mobile, yet it converts at just 0.4 percent.
Why It Matters
When capital concentrates at the bottom
of the funnel, competition intensifies around
a fixed pool of in-market buyers.
Margins compress. Attribution weakens.
Dependence on rented demand grows.
Structural misalignment compounds quietly.
