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

Coordinating schedules for a small group to attend a local 'community event' (4,400/mo) or simply meet up requires numerous back-and-forth messages. The effort of aligning everyone's availability often causes people to miss out on time-sensitive 'community festivals' (480/mo) or other local happenings.

Who experiences it
Someone trying to organize a social meetup for a small group.
When it happens
They want to find a time for their group to attend a community event, like 'earth day events' (22,200/mo) or a 'community yard sale' (2,400/mo), or simply gather.
How often
This happens whenever they try to coordinate a group activity or find a local event, which can be a recurring social task.
What they do today
They use chat apps or group texts, sending multiple messages back and forth to find common availability, often leading to fragmented communication and missed windows for finding an 'events in the city' (18,100/mo).

Why now

Not a spike — a steady, repeating problem people search every month.

  • Demand is steady year over year

    5,591 a month twelve months ago → 5,591 now for "community events".

  • Flat over the last quarter

    Last three months of searches against the three before them.

  • Peaks in November

    Demand swings 50% across the year, so ship roughly two months before November.

  • Advertisers pay $6.28 a click here

    Buying this intent instead of ranking for it would run roughly $115,075 a month — money is already chasing these searches.

  • 1 real product on page one

    Alongside 23 articles and reference pages, which is room a focused tool can take.

Opportunity score 5,856 = 40% contestable search demand (61,080 a month across 25 keywords) + 25% how open the competition still is (31 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 ($6.28 a click) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1555, 10 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 5,591 · latest 5,591 · low 3,727 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 (61,080 searches a month), listed below.

Revenue potential

Slow build $685Good execution $4,433Breakout $66,587

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 $66,587 a month by month 24 (4,188 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

  • 61,080 cluster searches a month, 1.6x for app stores and word of mouth.
  • You reach 1.0-6.0% of that, scaled by ad competition 0.01.
  • 12% of visitors sign up, 2% of those pay. Freemium consumer: roughly 1-3% of free users ever pay, so this needs volume.
  • That wins 2-14 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 7% monthly churn and you're holding 19-117 paying users by month 12.
  • Price $31/mo, taken from the business model below.

Freemium consumer app

Broad consumer intent: get them using it free, charge for volume and polish.

Price to test · from ad click value

$12–$50/mo

No competitor pricing page was readable, so this band comes from what a click on this intent costs advertisers ($6.28) — a starting price to test, not a proven one.

What to charge for

Free core, paid depth. Gate history, exports and power features rather than the first-run experience — the exact free limit is something you tune after launch, not something this data can tell you.

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 $6.28 a click for this intent — real money already chases it.
  • 0% of the 25-keyword cluster is commercial-intent wording (best, app, pricing, alternative).
  • Ad competition 0.01 — few advertisers fighting for it.
