Pain Point #1: "I’ve been looking into making my website ADA/WCAG compliant, and the prices are kind of shocking. Agencies quoted me $3K–$5K a year, and some wanted me to sign long-term contracts. I know accessibility is important, but this feels like a lot for a small business." Opportunity: Create affordable, scalable accessibility solutions for websites, particularly aimed at small businesses. Justification: - Demand: There is a clear frustration with the high costs of making websites accessible. Multiple businesses are likely facing compliance pressures with web accessibility but cannot afford expensive solutions. - ROI: By offering a more accessible price point, small businesses can achieve compliance and potentially avoid legal risks, while also improving user experience for all their customers. - Scalable: Web-based tools or plugins that automate the accessibility check and correction process can be sold as SaaS, promising a recurring revenue stream and serving a global market. - Purple Cow/Controversial: By radically lowering the cost barrier to compliance, this service disrupts conventional pricing models in an emerging legal necessity market. --- Pain Point #2: "Our Google Business Profile was suspended without clear reason, even though we are a legitimate, woman-owned moving company. Before suspension, our profile brought in around 10 jobs a month (~$35,000 in revenue). We’ve appealed multiple times and keep getting denied." Opportunity: A dedicated service to manage business presence and compliance on Google and other major review platforms, ensuring profiles stay active and removing suspensions quickly. Justification: - Demand: Businesses are losing significant revenue due to random suspensions of their Google Business Profiles. These profiles are critical for local SEO and customer access. - ROI: Quick reinstatement leads to immediate revenue recovery. The service can prove its worth quickly by preventing future suspensions or resolving them expediently. - Scalable: These services can be offered globally, especially with increasing dependency on Google for local business discovery. - Purple Cow/Controversial: Providing a direct line to specialized support and influence at Google could be controversial but also a unique selling point, creating a monopoly-like effect for early arrivals in the market. --- Pain Point #3: "Today was our first day open since then and numbers were dull. We had enough people to come in to cover our staff for the day but not many reservations the rest of the week. My question is, is this normal after...a great response with our grand opening to have a lag?" Opportunity: Develop a dynamic, AI-powered dashboard for new businesses that predicts customer turnout and provides actionable marketing insights to maintain and grow customer traffic post-launch. Justification: - Demand: Many new businesses struggle to maintain momentum after an initial launch buzz. Understanding and predicting customer flow is crucial for adjusting marketing and staffing plans. - ROI: Allows businesses to strategically manage their budget by optimizing their marketing spend based on expected customer turnout, boosting both short-term visits and long-term growth. - Scalable: By focusing on AI and machine learning, the solution can adapt to a variety of sectors and predict footfall trends, making it applicable across multiple industries. - Purple Cow/Controversial: Incorporating AI in predicting customer behaviors and preferences is timely and cutting-edge, potentially unsettling traditional methods of business forecasting.
