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

Homeowners struggle to maintain an accurate and detailed inventory of their possessions for insurance purposes. Current methods like spreadsheets and checklists are time-consuming to create and fail to provide comprehensive, easily verifiable proof when a claim needs to be filed.

Who experiences it
A homeowner preparing for the possibility of an insurance claim.
When it happens
When a loss occurs or is anticipated, and they must compile proof of possessions for an insurer.
How often
Infrequently, tied to the occurrence of a significant property loss, but the preparation is an ongoing task.
What they do today
Spreadsheets, templates, or checklists (170-320/mo search volume) to log items, which become outdated and are difficult to update.

Opportunity score 3,601 = 40% contestable search demand (6,190 a month across 25 keywords) + 25% how open the competition still is (29 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 (no ad pricing) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1506, 7 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 300 · latest 300 · low 66 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 (6,190 searches a month), listed below.

Revenue potential

estimate, not a promise

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

MRR by month 12

$18 – $106

2–12 paying users · +0–1 new a month at 7% churn

Year-one run rate

Slow build $20Good execution $130Breakout $1,959

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 $1,959 a month by month 24 (424 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

  • 6,190 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 0.02.
  • 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 0-1 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 7% monthly churn and you're holding 2-12 paying users by month 12.
  • Price $9/mo, taken from the business model below.

Price to test · from ad click value

$4–$14/mo

No competitor pricing page was readable across the 4 we checked, so this band comes from what a click on this intent costs advertisers ($0.00) — 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

  • 4 competitors read: 1 on subscriptions, 0 one-time, 3 free. Plans seen: Memberships: 25% off all Artifcts memberships (offer valid through 11:59 pm ET on December 24, 2025); Introductory pricing available before January 1.
  • 20% of the 25-keyword cluster is commercial-intent wording (best, app, pricing, alternative).
  • Ad competition 0.02 — few advertisers fighting for it.
