Search-market diligence

Your company. Your market. Your path to organic growth.

One URL. What drives your traffic today, where rivals are exposed, what winning search and AI discovery costs, whether the demand supports the business — and what to build first.

Idea validation

Just built something?

Paste the URL and get a verdict before you go further: whether people are searching for it, whether the market is growing, whether anyone pays for it, and what to build first. Nothing live yet? Describe it instead.

The company analysis measures a business that has been running. This one reads your pages only to work out what you are selling, then measures whether the market is there at all.

SEO and GEO are only the surface.

Know whether demand exists, who controls it, what it costs to compete, which opportunities are realistically winnable, and what to build first.

Not another SEO audit. A search-market operating plan.

Surface vs. substance

  • Keyword listsWhether the demand exists at all
  • Difficulty scoresWhat page one actually costs to enter
  • Content calendarsWhat to build first, and what to refuse
  • Traffic forecastsWhether the economics survive the traffic

What you get

Built to be the most complete organic-growth analysis a company can run from one URL — and every part of it is evidence you can check.

01

Your current growth engine

The pages and searches producing traffic now, what each is worth, and the gains already sitting close to page one.

02

The market around you

Real demand, the shape it takes, when it peaks through the year, and the clusters nobody has built for yet.

03

The competitive entry fee

Who wins today, how they built their authority and content, and what it would actually take to displace them.

04

The business case

Whether demand, pricing and acquisition economics support the strategy — or quietly argue against it.

05

The build order

What to create, improve, distribute or avoid, in sequence, with the evidence behind each decision.

06

A finding, proved

The opportunity is not the biggest keyword. It is the demand competitors forgot to build for.

The opening is not the biggest keyword — it is the "Specific situations people are in" group the site has barely built for.

Excerpt from a Search Diligence report. Harbour Payroll is illustrative; the figures are not customer data. Rankings and traffic are never guaranteed.

Why this is diligence

Diligence is a standard of proof, not a volume of data. Seventeen connected checks feed one decision, and every figure carries the market and period it was measured in.

17connected checks, each marked complete, partial or unavailable

Drawn from 89+ specialist search-data capabilities. Each analysis uses the measurements that matter for that company and market — never all of them.

  1. 01Understand the business before measuring a single search.
  2. 02Measure page-one reality, not an abstract difficulty score.
  3. 03Separate current winners, near-page-one gains, long-tail entry points and work that cannot be won.
  4. 04Test demand against the price and the cost of acquiring a customer.
  5. 05Name missing evidence instead of inventing certainty.

Portable by design

The report does not end when you close the tab.

Share the PDF with your team, or download the richer Markdown evidence pack and give it to ChatGPT, Claude or any AI agent you choose. It carries the measured market context, assumptions, missing inputs and priorities needed to continue the work.

One complete analysis is published in full — every check, the decision brief, the method and the exports — so the standard of proof can be judged before anything is commissioned. An independent analysis produced by Search Diligence. The subject company was not involved in its preparation.

Work is taken on by request.

Every analysis is reviewed before it is accepted, so scope, market and available evidence are agreed before any work begins.
