CPC is what an advertiser pays Google for one click on that phrase — a rough price tag on how valuable the visitor is. Ad comp. runs 0 to 1 and is how full the ad auction is: near 1 means advertisers are fighting over it (money is there, but ranking is hard), near 0 means almost nobody bids.

Who has the problem

Team managers struggle to quickly and accurately confirm who is available for specific team events, leading to uncertainty in planning. Existing tools like 'calendly for teams' (210/mo) or 'teamsnap scheduler' (40/mo) don't fully solve the dynamic nature of weekly availability tracking for clubs and leagues.

Who experiences it
A team manager or league coordinator organizing weekly club or league activities.
When it happens
They are trying to determine which team members are available for a specific upcoming game or practice session.
How often
This occurs weekly, or whenever a new roster needs to be compiled for an event.
What they do today
They use generic 'team calendar apps' (260/mo) or 'team scheduling software' (170/mo) that are not specialized enough, or resort to manual communication methods to track individual availability.

Why now

Demand is cooling; build only if you have an angle the incumbents lack.

  • Searches are down 68% year over year

    1,045 a month twelve months ago → 334 now for "team scheduling app".

  • Cooling 13% over the last quarter

    Last three months of searches against the three before them.

  • Peaks in October

    Demand swings 284% across the year, so ship roughly two months before October.

  • Advertisers pay $47.65 a click here

    Buying this intent instead of ranking for it would run roughly $82,768 a month — money is already chasing these searches.

  • 7 real products on page one

    Alongside 17 articles and reference pages, which is room a focused tool can take.

Opportunity score 4,545 = 40% contestable search demand (5,770 a month across 25 keywords, after removing 20 brand searches) + 25% how open the competition still is (25 products on page one) + 15% momentum (last three months vs the three before, capped so one bucketed month can't swing it) + 10% willingness to pay ($47.65 a click) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1511, 16 head-to-heads, weighted by how many votes exist). Anything we can't measure is dropped and the rest re-weighted, so a blank signal never counts as an average one. Search data refreshes daily from Google Ads via DataForSEO.

Peak 1,045 · latest 334 · low 272 searches a month

Google reports monthly volume in fixed buckets (…27,100 · 33,100 · 40,500 · 49,500), so steady months land on the exact same number. Weekly data isn't published.

This chart tracks the single lead phrase. The demand score uses the whole cluster of 25 related phrases (5,790 searches a month), listed below.

Revenue potential

estimate, not a promise

Priced and converted as a b2b subscription — the funnel below changes with that model, because a freemium consumer app and a B2B tool convert nothing alike.

Slow build $231Good execution $1,648Breakout $24,238

The two solid lines are the range above: a slow build and good execution on a slice of this demand. The dashed line is the breakout — you become the default answer for this problem, take roughly a quarter of the intent, convert far better because people arrive already sold, and churn halves. That's the outcome worth chasing, and it's about $24,238 a month by month 24 (1,158 paying users). Most ideas land on the bottom line; the point of the chart is that the ceiling isn't the estimate.

How we got there

  • 5,790 cluster searches a month, 1.6x for app stores and word of mouth.
  • You reach 0.7-4.9% of that, scaled by ad competition 0.63.
  • 6% of visitors sign up, 5% of those pay. B2B: fewer visitors, but a paying seat is worth many consumer subs.
  • That wins 0-1 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 2% monthly churn and you're holding 2-15 paying users by month 12.
  • Price $79/mo, taken from the business model below.

Roundups, review posts, explainers and store pages. They compete for the search, not for the job — they don't count against the competition gap.

Likely business model

willingness to pay 71/100

B2B subscription

Sold per seat or per workspace to people using it for work.

Price to test · from ad click value

$32–$126/mo

No competitor pricing page was readable, so this band comes from what a click on this intent costs advertisers ($47.65) — a starting price to test, not a proven one.

What to charge for

Per-seat pricing. Paywall the collaboration side — sharing, exports, multiple workspaces — not the core record keeping.

What this data can't tell you

  • · Nobody's published price backs this band yet — treat the number as a test, and put a price up in week one to find out.

Willingness-to-pay evidence

  • Advertisers pay $47.65 a click for this intent — real money already chases it.
  • 60% of the 25-keyword cluster is commercial-intent wording (best, app, pricing, alternative).
  • Ad competition 0.63 — advertisers bid hard here.
