About

We started Proven & Found because owners kept paying for marketing they couldn't check.

Reports full of clicks and impressions. Contracts that ran a year whether anything happened or not. Leads sold to five companies at once. We built the opposite: every lead with its proof, prices on the site, and a bill you can check line by line.

Found first. Proven all the way to the sale.
