Cover of the Radar Lab SEO report

We found 694 ads from 109 companies in SEO newsletters, from May 2023 to October 2026. Each one links to the email it ran in.

The main finding

“AirOps advertised in more SEO newsletters than any other company, and just 4 companies bought 37% of all the ads.”

The first thing the report tells you. Every number in it links back to a real newsletter email.
