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

Fantasy league managers struggle to accurately assess the value of trade proposals within existing platforms, leading to uncertainty about fairness. Without a reliable way to price players or trades, they risk making suboptimal decisions that could impact their league standing.

Who experiences it
A fantasy league manager evaluating trade offers in leagues hosted on platforms like Yahoo Fantasy (201,000/mo) or the NFL Fantasy app (40,500/mo).
When it happens
They are reviewing a trade proposal involving players and need to determine if it is fair or advantageous for their team.
How often
This occurs whenever a trade is proposed or considered, which can be multiple times during the fantasy football season, especially around peak search times like August and September (40,500/mo for NFL app related searches).
What they do today
They manually compare player statistics, projected points, and other data, often referencing an 'ESPN fantasy football cheat sheet' (27,100/mo) or internal league knowledge, but lack an objective tool to price trades.

Why now

Demand is climbing and the field hasn't consolidated.

  • Demand is steady year over year

    24,697 a month twelve months ago → 24,697 now for "fantasy football app".

  • Rising 65% over the last quarter

    Last three months of searches against the three before them.

  • Peaks in February

    Demand swings 5525% across the year, so ship roughly two months before February.

  • Advertisers pay $4.89 a click here

    Buying this intent instead of ranking for it would run roughly $961,912 a month — money is already chasing these searches.

  • 2 real products on page one

    Alongside 14 articles and reference pages, which is room a focused tool can take.

Opportunity score 9,359 = 40% contestable search demand (655,700 a month across 25 keywords) + 25% how open the competition still is (16 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 ($4.89 a click) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1501, 2 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 45,055 · latest 24,697 · low 801 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 (655,700 searches a month), listed below.

Revenue potential

estimate, not a promise

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

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 $3,285,991 a month by month 24 (314,736 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

  • 655,700 cluster searches a month, 1.6x for app stores and word of mouth.
  • You reach 0.9-5.5% of that, scaled by ad competition 0.29.
  • 10% of visitors sign up, 12% of those pay. Trial-led: people arrive already shopping, so trial-to-paid runs high.
  • That wins 111-690 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 5% monthly churn and you're holding 1,023-6,340 paying users by month 12.
  • Price $26/mo, taken from the business model below.

What to charge for

Trial then subscribe. This crowd is already comparing paid tools, so ask for the card early rather than running a wide free tier.
