Between February and May 2026 we scanned 12,400 small businesses across Dhaka, Chattogram, and Sylhet — restaurants, clinics, retail, professional services, and trades. The headline: 63% have no functional website, and of those that do, fewer than 1 in 5 rank for their own business name on the first page of Google.
Every signal below was collected with the same systems that power Lead Pulse and Qrinux Lead Lens — so what we report is exactly what you'd see filtering leads in the platform today.
Website availability
- 37% of scanned SMBs have a live site
- Of those, 41% are built on free Facebook page redirects or expired Wix trials
- Only 22% are mobile-responsive by Lighthouse standards
SEO signals
- Missing meta descriptions: 71%
- Missing H1: 38%
- No structured data: 94%
The opportunity here isn't competing for hard keywords — it's getting these businesses indexed at all.
Google Business profiles
49% have a profile. Of those, 58% haven't posted in over 12 months and 31% have unanswered reviews from 2024 or earlier.
This is the single highest-leverage fix for local visibility — and the fastest pitch to close.
Contact visibility
27% of sites have no phone number visible on the homepage. 19% have no contact page at all. For service businesses this directly kills conversion.
What this means for outreach
The Bangladesh SMB market is wide open. Most don't need a redesign — they need basic technical SEO, a Google Business reactivation, and a homepage CTA. That's a $300–600 retainer that closes in days, not weeks.
