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

People using 'sports schedule apps' are forced to perform mental calculations or use separate tools to adjust event times to their local timezone. This creates a high risk of missing important events due to miscalculation or oversight.

Who experiences it
Someone trying to keep track of a 'sports schedule app' (140/mo search volume) or 'fitness schedule app' (260/mo search volume).
When it happens
They are checking a 'game schedule app' (20/mo search volume) for an event that occurs in a different timezone than their current location.
How often
This happens whenever they are following a schedule that spans time zones, which can be multiple times a week for a 'sports team scheduling app' (30/mo search volume).
What they do today
They manually convert kickoff or event times displayed in a generic 'sports calendar app' (70/mo search volume) or 'nfl schedule iphone calendar' (20/mo search volume) to their local timezone, often leading to errors.

  • Cooling 32% over the last quarter

Opportunity score 2,512 = 40% contestable search demand (660 a month across 13 keywords, after removing 20 brand searches) + 25% how open the competition still is (23 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 ($5.14 a click) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1454, 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 233 · latest 81 · low 45 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 13 related phrases (680 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 $11Good execution $74Breakout $973

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 $973 a month by month 24 (136 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

  • 680 cluster searches a month, 1.6x for app stores and word of mouth.
  • You reach 0.9-5.4% of that, scaled by ad competition 0.31.
  • 6% of visitors sign up, 5% of those pay. B2B: fewer visitors, but a paying seat is worth many consumer subs.
  • That wins 0-0 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 2% monthly churn and you're holding 0-2 paying users by month 12.
  • Price $27/mo, taken from the business model below.

Also ranking, but not products (8)

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

B2B subscription

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

Price to test · from ad click value

$11–$43/mo

No competitor pricing page was readable, so this band comes from what a click on this intent costs advertisers ($5.14) — 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 $5.14 a click for this intent — real money already chases it.
  • 85% of the 13-keyword cluster is commercial-intent wording (best, app, pricing, alternative).
  • Ad competition 0.31 — few advertisers fighting for it.
