High-Ticket Strategy

"Don't build another directory platform—build the 'WordPress for Directories' that actually works on mobile."

Sniper Insight

"They want to launch a directory/membership site without the technical debt of WordPress plugins and custom code."

Risk Alert: Medium

4.94 rating creates high barrier—must attack specific weakness (mobile). Lifetime deal means BD has locked in customers; need migration tools.

The 4-Dimension Scorecard

Market Traction
10/10

$767k revenue with 862 reviews shows massive demand for directory solutions. This is a proven market.

Resilience
8/10

4.94 rating is dangerously high, but volume reveals cracks: mobile UX complaints create an opening.

Sustainability
7/10

Directory/membership model has recurring potential. No unlimited AI/storage red flags. Lifetime deal creates customer lock-in.

Competition
6/10

Competitors are strong (ActiveCampaign, Mighty Networks) but fragmented. WordPress requires plugins—complexity is the enemy.

"Features emphasize selling digital downloads and members-only content"

Marketing Angle

The directory platform that actually works on phones. Build in hours, not weeks.
Actionable Insight

Use this angle to position your product against the generic competitors. Focus on the specific pain points identified in the "Pain & Gaps" module.

The "Buggy Clone" Syndrome

  • Mobile experience is broken ('not-so-awesome mobile version' mentioned repeatedly). Platform feels 'idiosyncratic' with steep learning curve.

Sniper Verdict

"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."

The Battle Plan

The Winning Angle

"Brilliant Directories dominates revenue but fails on mobile—the #1 complaint. There's a $767k market begging for a mobile-first alternative. The wedge is simplicity: WordPress alternatives require technical skills, while BD has confusing workflows."

MVP Build

  • Mobile-optimized directory templates (Primary complaint fix)
  • Drag-and-drop builder with 3-step setup (Attack the complexity wedge)

MVP Drop

  • Advanced membership tiers (Distraction—focus on directory first)
  • Custom CSS/HTML editors (Costly and scares non-technical users)

3-Week Roadmap

1
Mobile-optimized directory templates (Primary complaint fix)
2
Drag-and-drop builder with 3-step setup (Attack the complexity wedge)
Marketing Hook
"Tired of directory platforms that work great on desktop but fail on phones? Ours doesn't."
Attack Channels
Mighty Networks ($33+/mo)WordPress + Plugins ($100s in dev)ActiveCampaign ($49+/mo)
