The Verdict
TRAFFIC IS NOT
REVENUE.
WebFX is excellent at analytics and traffic generation. But for local service businesses, the bottleneck isn't traffic — it's what happens after someone submits a form. Thinxster's AI caller closes that gap. 91-second response time, automatic qualification, calendar booking. That's where revenue is won.
