I'm curious why you didn't recommend the Google Keyword Planner and performing searches on Google to see what ads show up.

I'm curious why you didn't recommend the Google Keyword Planner and performing searches on Google to see what ads show up.

I apologize for the confusion earlier. You are correct that using the Google Keyword Planner and performing searches on Google to see what ads show up are also effective ways of verifying the demand for a local service-based business inexpensively.

Using the Google Keyword Planner can give you insights on search volume and the level of competition for specific keywords related to your business idea. You can then prioritize your keywords based on their popularity and competition level to optimize your online content.

Examining ads on Google can provide an insight on the level of competition and the demand for the keywords that are being targeted. You may also identify companies that have a similar offering, which can help you in distinguishing your business from competitors or finding untapped opportunities.

Both strategies can be effective ways to validate the demand for a service inexpensively.
