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

Keeping an accurate and up-to-date record of watched TV shows and movies is a frustrating manual chore, with 720/mo searching for 'tv show tracker app' but few satisfactory solutions. Existing tracking tools are often buggy, lack desired features like new episode notifications, or fail to consolidate where a show is currently streaming, leading to wasted time searching across services.

"Nearly impossible to find a good TV tracking app/service"from a thread we pulled below
Who experiences it
A person who regularly watches TV shows and movies across multiple streaming services.
When it happens
They finish a season or a movie and want to record it, or are looking for something new to watch but can't remember what they've already seen or where to find an ongoing show.
How often
This occurs weekly or several times a week, corresponding to watching new episodes or finishing viewing sessions.
What they do today
They use general note-taking apps like Notes or Excel, which require manual updates and lack integration with streaming availability, or dedicated but often buggy apps like Cronica, Hobi, or Trakt that frequently become unusable or lack desired features.

Opportunity score 6,355 = 40% contestable search demand (2,440 a month across 25 keywords) + 25% how open the competition still is (11 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 ($2.25 a click) + 10% crowd rankings (Elo 1500, 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 1,844 · latest 854 · low 379 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 (2,440 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 $56Good execution $366Breakout $5,173

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 $5,173 a month by month 24 (1,171 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

  • 2,440 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.
  • 10% of visitors sign up, 12% of those pay. Trial-led: people arrive already shopping, so trial-to-paid runs high.
  • That wins 0-3 new subscribers a month. Stack 12 months of that against 5% monthly churn and you're holding 4-26 paying users by month 12.
  • Price $11/mo, taken from the business model below.
