Keyword Research

Demand surface

Opportunity lies in capturing high‑intent "before launch" queries that incumbents ignore in favour of generic startup content.

Smart Evidence Timeline

Interviews • pages • payments

Interview #3 – "I would pay to never do this again."
Prospect volunteered pricing and asked for early access without being prompted — strong pain confirmation.
Landing page v1 – 7.4% email capture
Cold traffic from founder communities; copy emphasised "brutal truth" over "AI magic".
Pre‑payment test – 5 x $49 deposits
Payment intent confirms the problem is not just interesting — it's purchase‑worthy.

Red Flags

AI‑detected sugarcoating

"This is cool, I'd totally use it" — flagged as polite approval. No concrete workflow or budget mentioned.
Prospect repeatedly changed subject when asked about current spend, indicating low willingness to pay.
Two interviewees only engaged after hearing "it's AI‑powered" — tagged as hype‑driven, not pain‑driven interest.
