Where do users come from?
4,069 visits in September (+309% month over month). Direct 55.3%, search 33.5%; non-brand search is about 27%, with terms being the names of listed products (reaction time test, instagram transcript), so product pages bring long-tail traffic; referrals come from github.com 4.85% and growthhacking.fr, as product makers put badge links on their own pages that point back.
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 "SEO" 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.
