I love your apple/fruit example. This is a major problem I see in many startups, their unique value proposition is absolutely confusing. It's hard to get right, but is a very important step for a web business these days.

cPanel has multiple log analyzers built in. So the user doesn't have to go through that work. If your site is on a shared host and it uses cPanel, just log into cPanel and you'll find them.

In my case, Google did not find a competitor that ranks within 30k on Alexa, has the keywords on their homepage, and has $21m in funding. I found them after weeks of research. Don't remember the exact blog/comment/thread, b
