Type in the long-tail search phrases and it goes off and does as much market research automatically for you as possible, and comes back with a yes/no on whether you should bother pursuing it. Perhaps including a list of statistics like: how much it would cost to get into that market, how many competitors there appear to be, etc. etc.
- Alex3917 12y agoI'm currently working at a startup that actually does something like this. You're probably never going to get a yes/no answer though because most large competitors will have multiple unrelated lines of business, and it's usually not possible to get data beyond the organization level. (Sometimes though the larger organization is a holding company that has different subsidiaries for related lines of business.)
- unclesaamm 12y agoThere's some interesting IR research that's going into stuff like this. See TREC's new Dynamic Domain challenge: http://trec-dd.org http://trec-dd.org
- kgc 12y agoI thought of something like this too. I was going to put it on the domain ideatester.org
