Opportunity Analysis

Before a niche is chosen, the broader opportunity has to be validated. Opportunity analysis asks whether a market is worth entering at all — before niche selection asks which part of that market should become the focus of the site.

This section covers how to spot a real website opportunity, how to read search demand as a system rather than a list of keywords, and how to size up the competition already in a market. Together, these three checks tell you whether a market has enough demand, depth, and room to build a site into a true authority asset — or whether it’s better to keep looking.

Opportunity analysis comes right after you’ve spotted a promising direction and right before you commit to a specific niche. Get this step right and niche selection becomes far more strategic, because you’re choosing where to focus within a market you already know can support the site — not gambling on the market itself.
