Hi andy?
     I inspected the said test product for website owners, and I feel
you are not quite clear about the topic, so you might choose what
scope from the following list in Software QA/Test Resource Center

==================================
What is the market? what types of websites? 


Web Test Tools Listing 
http://www.softwareqatest.com/qatweb1.html#LOAD

1996-2006 by Rick Hower  who devote on QA

In the list, you can find all the softwares concern about web site testing:
1.Load and Performance Test Tools 
2.Java Test Tools 
3. Link Checkers 
4. HTML Validators 
5. Free On-the-Web HTML Validators and Link Checkers 
6. PERL and C Programs for Validating and Checking 
7. Web Functional/Regression Test Tools 
8. Web Site Security Test Tools 
9. External Site Monitoring Services 
10. Web Site Management Tools 
11. Log Analysis 

the 1. is used mostly by large or small companies with its native
workflow by the QA department before version release. Not outsourcing.

the 2.3.4.5.6.7 are mainly used by QA dept., and sometimes by
programmer themselves in cell testing of native workflow before
version release, few outsourcing.

The 8. ,might be oursourcing

The 9.10. 11.  used by Admin to improve or promote its website. And
the 11. is profitable, and wildly applyable.



=======================
What specific companies/products are servicing this market?
Are they successful?



All of the above have matured software. 
To bring the most to customs after new website version released, I
think, might be 11. which increase ROI and most  profitable, and is
recommended here.

There are digital marketing vendors that inspire confidence with large
customer bases. There are digital marketing vendors that associate
themselves with innovation.There are digital marketing vendors that
improve the website to increase ROI . Log Analysis helps. The
companies in the field is growing in a rapid speed. But a lot of funds
is required.

Here is a simple list of the companies devoting in web analysis .
