Keyword cluster

5 keywords · 130 searches a month combined

Demand counts the whole cluster: 130 searches a month across every relevant way people look for this problem. The intent label on each keyword tells you how close that searcher is to wanting software.

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

Individuals with chronic illnesses cannot reliably recall the details of their symptom flare-ups, leading to inaccurate or incomplete information being provided to their doctors. This lack of precise data makes it difficult for healthcare providers to understand disease patterns and adjust treatment effectively.

"I've been struggling with my flares worsening over the past few months."from a thread we pulled below
Who experiences it
A person living with a chronic illness that experiences symptom flare-ups
When it happens
During a 12-minute doctor's appointment, the patient struggles to accurately recall the timing, severity, and specific symptoms of past flare-ups.
How often
This difficulty recurs during each medical appointment where symptoms and their patterns are discussed.
What they do today
Patients try to mentally track or recount their flare-ups, but this method fails to provide specific, detailed, or consistent data over time.

Opportunity score 2,144 = 40% contestable search demand (130 a month across 5 keywords) + 25% how open the competition still is (30 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 1515, 4 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 35 · latest 35 · low 7 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 5 related phrases (130 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.

Slow build $0Good execution $3Breakout $41

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 $41 a month by month 24 (9 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

  • 130 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 0.00.
  • 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 0-0 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 7% monthly churn and you're holding 0-0 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 6 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

  • 6 competitors read: 2 on subscriptions, 0 one-time, 2 free. Plans seen: Hobby ... / month; Standard ... / month; Growth ... / month; Premium ... / month. Plans also available yearly. 10-day free trial, no credit card required.
  • 0% of the 5-keyword cluster is commercial-intent wording (best, app, pricing, alternative).
  • Ad competition 0.00 — few advertisers fighting for it.
