You probably can't imagine how low real-world Zcash adoption actually is. Meanwhile, we've spent the last six months working hard to reach new businesses, sending more than 4,000 emails as part of our outreach efforts. Today, over 120 local businesses are listed on ZecMap.

While waiting for support to help us achieve more and scale these efforts, being rejected on the grounds that our impact is too low feels a little strange. :)

We've tried every possible avenue to make this vision a reality for nearly seven months.

ZecMap's Google Search Console data from the past 12 days is quite remarkable: 45,000 impressions, approximately 38,000 of which came from the United States.

Looking at the search data, we can see well-known businesses listed on ZecMap, such as GameStop and Chipotle, standing out. More importantly, ZecMap is already appearing on Google's first page for searches related to these businesses.

This shows just how much potential ZecMap has to bring new users into the Zcash ecosystem.

With stronger SEO and content efforts targeting the US market, if we can get ZecMap into the top three search results for these queries, many more people could visit ZecMap to explore the locations and details of these businesses.

But the really exciting opportunity starts right there.

While visitors are browsing business listings, we could introduce a small, attention-grabbing pop-up informing them that they can pay with Zcash at these businesses.

What kind of impact could it have if we introduced Zcash to thousands of potential customers who search for these businesses every day?
