Cautious LDN Opportunity - Test Required

August 2025 Market Assessment

6/10
Viability Score
🚨

ZERO ADS FOUND - PROCEED WITH CAUTION

No Google Ads on LDN keywords could mean untapped opportunity OR dead market. With only 8,000 total searches/month and <1,000 high-intent searches, PPC viability uncertain. Test with $1-2K budget first. Pivot to SEO/content if CAC exceeds $300.

Market Opportunity

Cautious Opportunity: Zero ads on LDN keywords may indicate untapped market OR competitors already failed. With ~8,000 total LDN searches/month but <1,000 buyer-intent keywords, PPC requires careful testing. RxIon's $14/month medication cost enables 32-43% margins at $99-129/month. Strategy: Test PPC with $2K budget. If CAC >$300, pivot to content/SEO for lower CAC. LTV:CAC projection: 2.0-2.5:1 (marginal but workable with optimization).
