Example report · Low-ticket course to a large audience
🤖 AI & TechA focused membership: AI & Tech for people who want results, not another feed
With 48,000 monthly searches for "ai agents" in the US and a significant year-on-year increase of 120.4%, there is clear interest in the AI & Tech community space. However, only 11 out of 54 communities in this category publish a monthly price, with a median of $9, indicating that pricing is mostly unpublished and that stating a price plainly is uncommon. Your course-led format combined with community engagement can effectively tap into this interest, especially as your first members will come from a fraction of your existing audience, allowing for a strategic entry into this under-served market.

65,000 searches a month across these terms. Ranking difficulty 87/100, so search results here are dominated by established sites. Search volume measures interest in the subject, not willingness to pay for a community about it. Treat it as the size of the room, not the size of the business.
The gap: Pricing here is mostly unpublished: 11 of 54 AI & Tech communities show a monthly price, and 7 of those 11 are free or under $25 a month. Anyone who states a price plainly is already unusual.
