Where do users come from?
Direct 62.6%, search 28.0%, social 5.6%; search is almost all brand terms (spotupco, spot up, brand keywords 90.6%), social platforms are not listed, and new users are recorded as Social media at about 6%. Returning users come back to get activation codes and watch tutorials.
Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.
What remains to be verified?
The following are research questions, not established market opportunities.
- What do target users actually pay for? Is there direct user feedback or paid interview evidence?
- Are these historical prices still active today? What are the conversion, retention, and fulfillment costs?
- Is the "Social media" channel still viable? What resources do indie devs need to test it?
- Whose needs are competitors failing to meet? Find specific evidence before deciding on your angle.
