4 Micro Saas Ideas with SEO Potential

Hey - Tony here.

How do you validate your SaaS ideas?

In my opinion SEO is the best way to know if a startup idea has any potential before you build it. You can find out if people are searching on Google for keywords related to your startup idea and also see if there's potential to rank high on Google for it. If you can rank high on Google for your product then those people searching on Google will easily find your website.

I do this by targeting low difficulty keywords (where the keyword difficulty is less than or in around 20) with high search volumes (around 500 or more per month) but I see a lot of people that either:

• dive headfirst into building without validation

OR

• spend countless hours perfecting ideas that may not attract an audience

This can lead to a huge amount of time wasted (and a major shot at the ego). A better way of doing this is:

• Focus on micro saas ideas (because these will take the least time to build and you can always add more features later to make it a fully formed SaaS)
• Focus on micro saas ideas where you can target keywords with low difficulty and high average monthly search volumes to ensure demand and ease of ranking on Google.

By focusing on Micro Saas ideas and leveraging SEO data, you can quickly identify high-potential ideas without gambling on untested ideas.
