DinoRANK
"Don't build another broken SEO tool. Build a reliable micro-tool that solves ONE painful SEO task better than anyone."
"Desperation for an affordable alternative to expensive SEO suites ($99+/month)."
SEO tool market is dominated by billion-dollar companies. Building another full-suite tool is guaranteed failure. API costs for keyword data will destroy your margins on a $69 LTD.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$29K revenue shows demand for affordable SEO tools, but extremely low for this market size.
Rating of 3.79 with high volume of angry reviews indicates a fundamentally broken product, not a UX opportunity.
Low LTD price ($69) for a data-intensive SEO tool is a red flag. Likely unsustainable API costs for keyword tracking.
Competing directly with Ahrefs & SEMrush (billions in revenue) is suicide for an indie hacker.

- Transparent data retention & export (Why: Main pain point in reviews)
- One-click Google Analytics/GSC connection (Why: Competitors fail here)
