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

Pet owners struggle to consistently administer correct medications to multiple pets on a strict schedule. This leads to missed doses or accidental double doses for an animal, risking their health and treatment efficacy.

Who experiences it
Pet owners managing medication for multiple pets.
When it happens
When it's time for a pet's medication and they try to remember if the other pet has already received theirs, or which dose is next for which pet.
How often
Multiple times a day, every day, tied to the scheduled medication times.
What they do today
Using memory or an unspecialized reminder system like a general notes app, which lacks specific tracking for multiple pets or doses.

Opportunity score 4,091 = 40% contestable search demand (380 a month across 14 keywords) + 25% how open the competition still is (17 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 ($3.03 a click) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1455, 6 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 166 · latest 88 · low 68 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 14 related phrases (380 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.

Slow build $4Good execution $25Breakout $366

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 $366 a month by month 24 (182 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

  • 380 cluster searches a month, 1.6x for app stores and word of mouth.
  • You reach 0.9-5.7% of that, scaled by ad competition 0.16.
  • 10% of visitors sign up, 12% of those pay. Trial-led: people arrive already shopping, so trial-to-paid runs high.
  • That wins 0-0 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 5% monthly churn and you're holding 1-4 paying users by month 12.
  • Price $5/mo, taken from the business model below.
