The short answer
A website-launch trigger fires when a company’s website is captured for the first time or relaunched. MarketPrior detects it from the Internet Archive’s Wayback CDX index — the public history of when pages were captured — so it works for companies in any country and also feeds the web-traction signals in diligence reports.

Why does a website launch matter?
A company that has just put its first website live is at the start of its buying journey for marketing, analytics, payments, support and hosting. A relaunch is often tied to a rebrand, new funding or a new product — a moment when budgets are open.
How is a launch detected?
The Internet Archive keeps a public index of when it captured each website. A first capture of a company’s domain, or a capture pattern that indicates a relaunch, produces a website-launch event. Web traction — including the Tranco top-1M rank — sits alongside it in the company’s profile.
- Works for any company whose domain is known.
- Archive capture timing can lag the real launch, so treat the date as approximate.
Who uses website-launch triggers?
- Agencies and freelancers offering design, content, SEO and marketing services.
- Payments, analytics, support and hosting vendors reaching companies going live.
- Investors spotting new ventures and relaunches alongside new registrations.
A website launch is strongest as a second signal — for example right after a new company registration or a funding round.
