The Lead Market Index, in short

The ClientRadar Lead Market Index reports how many client-ready leads freelancers and agencies detect across Facebook, Reddit, X and LinkedIn each month, broken down by niche. The numbers are anonymized, identity-free counts measured across opted-in ClientRadar installs — counts only, never identities or the content of any conversation.

A niche is only published once at least 5 distinct installs contribute to it, so thin niches show “collecting data” instead of an unreliable number. Site-wide totals publish immediately. Every figure carries an “as of” date and a link to the methodology, and all prose is written from a fixed template over the baked counts — no AI writes these numbers or their descriptions.

Methodology

Counts, not claims.

Anonymized counts from opted-in ClientRadar installs, current calendar month. Counts and coarse euro bands only — never identities or content. Niches below the install threshold show 'collecting'.

  • Every number is an anonymized, identity-free count measured across opted-in ClientRadar installs — never a lead, a contact, a licence or any message text.
  • A niche publishes only once at least 5 distinct installs contribute to it; thinner niches show “collecting data” rather than a number we can’t stand behind.
  • Figures cover the current calendar month and carry an “as of” date. They’re baked into this page when the site builds — nothing is fetched or estimated in your browser.
  • All prose is written from a fixed template over the baked counts. No AI writes these numbers or their descriptions.

Why this index is honest by construction

Most “market data” is a vendor’s guess dressed up as a number. This isn’t. Every figure here is a plain count of what ClientRadar’s own users actually detected in the feeds they were already in — anonymized, identity-free, thresholded, and dated. Where the data is too thin to be trustworthy, the page says “collecting” instead of inventing a figure. That’s the whole point: numbers you can cite because you can see exactly where they come from.

Find the clients already asking in your niche.

ClientRadar reads the feeds you’re already in, scores buying-intent posts, and drafts your reply — you approve every send. Install free and start turning these counts into your own pipeline.
