SpaceSerp - Powerful SERP API
"Don't build another SERP API - build one that actually works."
"Affordable SERP data for SEO tools, rank tracking, and market research without SEMrush's enterprise pricing."
Google actively fights scrapers - requires constant engineering to stay ahead. Don't promise unlimited searches. Consider proxy rotation costs.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$59k revenue shows clear demand for affordable SERP data, but it's built on broken promises.
3.6 rating with 101 reviews screams opportunity - users are desperate for reliability. High volume of complaints about broken API = low barrier to entry if you can fix it.
No unlimited AI/storage red flags, but scraping Google is inherently fragile. Requires constant maintenance against DOM changes.
Competitor SEMrush is expensive enterprise tool. Gap exists for affordable, reliable API for indie hackers/agencies.
The Opportunity Radar
Deep Review Mining & Gap Analysis
Pain & Gaps
"Fundamental requirement - current service returns empty results or fails completely"
"Users mention status page is 'total fraud' - need transparency on outages"
"Zero response to support tickets for weeks"

Marketing Angle
The SERP API that won't ghost you. 99.9% uptime or your money back.
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
- API completely broken for weeks/months with zero support. Google DOM changes break scraping, and company doesn't update.
Sniper Verdict
"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."
The Battle Plan
"SpaceSerp has $59k in revenue proving demand, but the product is completely broken with zero support. Users are trapped with lifetime deals they can't use. Build a reliable alternative with transparent status and actual support."
