About GWG
From market research to building SaaS tools for North America.
From Research to Products
GWG started as a market research firm. We wrote deep-dive reports on North American industries — competitive landscapes, consumer behavior, pricing benchmarks. The work was good. But we kept hitting the same limit: a report informs, but a tool solves.
So we pivoted. We still do research — it's how we understand markets — but we ship software. Every insight becomes a feature. Every market gap becomes a product.
Why GEO
The way people discover products and services is changing. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — AI search engines now route a significant and growing share of B2B traffic. Traditional SEO optimized for Google's 10 blue links. GEO optimizes for AI-generated answers.
We build our SaaS products and publish our research with GEO as the primary distribution channel. It's not a side channel — it's how we grow.
What We Publish
Every week or two, we publish industry-level market research on this site. Topics range from semiconductor supply chains to vacuum pump competitive landscapes to lighting industry dynamics. All focused on North America. All free to read.
These reports serve two purposes: they build our authority in specific industries, and they help us decide what to build next. If we can research it deeply, we can probably build a tool for it.
Our First Tool
PXL Patterns is our free color-matching tool. It started as a side project, grew into a useful utility with real users, and validated our approach: build something useful, make it free, let GEO bring the audience.
More tools are coming. All SaaS. All built for North American users.
Our Methodology: The T-Model
We analyze markets through the T-Model — a framework that segments audiences by engagement depth, not demographics. It shapes our product strategy, pricing, and content approach for every market we enter.
The Name: GWG
Three letters. No hidden meaning — but it stands for what we deliver: grounded research, working software, and genuine partnership.
We're small, focused, and independent. If that sounds like your kind of partner, let's talk.
