Close is a sales CRM built for teams that sell. It combines calling, email, SMS, pipeline management, reporting, and an AI sales agent named Chloe into a single platform.
Close CRM’s direct traffic went from 1.2M to 1.3M visits in one month. In the same window, Close CRM’s Sitemap removed 2.1K pages, mostly under /blog. The timing overlaps — worth a closer look.
