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.
