Market Analysis Report

This Market Analysis Report assesses whether there is a viable and commercially attractive digital market for the business to pursue within the UK.

It focuses on demand, visibility, and opportunity across Google and Bing to support decisions around SEO, paid media, and broader digital investment. The analysis is grounded in real search behaviour and commercial intent, ensuring that any recommended activity is aligned with how customers actually look for products or services.

The report references competitors only at a high level to provide essential market context. A separate Competitor Analysis is available alongside this report, examining in detail who leads the market, how they achieve that position, and what this means for the client’s ability to compete effectively.

Key Areas Covered

The analysis combines several indicators to form a clear view of opportunity, including:

  • Evaluation of current keyword visibility to understand how effectively the business captures existing demand

  • Analysis of total market demand and seasonality to identify realistic growth potential and revenue opportunity

  • Review of search trends to assess whether the market is expanding, stable, or in decline

  • High-level benchmarking against leading competitors to establish competitive pressure and opportunity gaps

  • Assessment of keyword commercial intent to prioritise traffic that is most likely to convert

  • UK-focused analysis across Google and Bing to ensure relevance to the target market


Client Benefits

By combining demand, trends, and competitive context, the report evaluates:

  • Confirms whether a genuine market opportunity exists
    Provides evidence-based clarity on demand, trends, and seasonality before time or budget is committed.

  • Shows the gap between current visibility and true market potential
    Highlights where the business is underperforming, over-investing, or missing high-value opportunities.

  • Reduces risk by grounding strategy in real search behaviour
    Ensures decisions are based on how customers actually search, not assumptions or internal bias.

  • Sets realistic expectations around competitiveness and difficulty
    Establishes how hard the market is to penetrate and what level of investment is likely required.

  • Creates a strategic foundation for SEO, paid media, and content planning
    Aligns future activity with measurable demand and commercial intent, rather than isolated tactics.

Summary

This report is designed to answer one core question:

Is there a market here worth investing in?

It provides a clear, evidence-led foundation for deciding whether and how to proceed, with competitor tactics explored separately to maintain focus and clarity.

Related studies can be undertaken as part of a wider brief, notably the consideration of who you are up against in the Competitor Analysis as well as the market potential abroad through my Exporting Assessment which looks at nominated territories for international growth.
