Methodology
The FisherLeads Index counts new business websites that FisherLeads verified as real, live and newly launched, detected from public launch signals (the first SSL certificate issued for a domain and new domain records) and dated to the day a site first went live, not a later renewal. It is not a claim of every business launched worldwide. This report covers October 2026 and refreshes daily as new launches are confirmed.
