# Idea
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Source:** Keyword research — ai-web-dev-images-2026-01-09.md
|
||||
**Evidence:**
|
||||
- "advertising images" = 1,600 monthly searches
|
||||
- KD: 4 (ULTRA LOW!)
|
||||
- Competition index: 0.01 (virtually no advertisers)
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters
|
||||
|
||||
- Ultra-low KD = quick win opportunity
|
||||
- Developers building ad creatives need images
|
||||
- Natural fit for Banatie API (programmatic ad generation)
|
||||
|
||||
## Potential Angle
|
||||
|
||||
"How developers can generate advertising images programmatically"
|
||||
- A/B testing at scale
|
||||
- Dynamic ad personalization
|
||||
- API-driven ad creative workflows
|
||||
|
||||
## Keywords Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
| Keyword | Vol | KD |
|
||||
|---------|-----|----|
|
||||
| advertising images | 1,600 | 4 |
|
||||
| ad images | 1,600 | 27 |
|
||||
| promotional images | 880 | 17 |
|
||||
| marketing images | 2,900 | 19 |
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Needs SERP validation before writing. Could be stock photo intent like "banner images".

# Idea — ARCHIVED
|
||||
|
||||
## Why Archived
|
||||
|
||||
SERP analysis (2026-01-09) revealed:
|
||||
- TOP 10 dominated by stock photo sites (Unsplash, Adobe, Freepik, Pexels)
|
||||
- User intent: find ready-made stock images, NOT generate images
|
||||
- Competitors are giants with millions of images
|
||||
- No opportunity for Banatie positioning
|
||||
|
||||
## Original Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Source:** Keyword research — ai-web-dev-images-2026-01-09.md
|
||||
**Evidence:**
|
||||
- "banner images" = 27,100 monthly searches
|
||||
- KD: 21 (low difficulty)
|
||||
- Competition index: 0.20 (low advertiser interest)
|
||||
|
||||
## Why It Looked Good (But Wasn't)
|
||||
|
||||
High volume + low KD seemed perfect. But SERP analysis showed the intent mismatch — people want to FIND images, not GENERATE them.
|
||||
|
||||
## Lesson Learned
|
||||
|
||||
Always validate with SERP analysis before prioritizing. Volume + KD alone are insufficient.

# Idea
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Source:** Keyword research — ai-web-dev-images-2026-01-09.md
|
||||
**Evidence:**
|
||||
- "midjourney alternative" = 1,300 monthly searches
|
||||
- KD: 3 (ULTRA LOW!)
|
||||
- BUT: Volume dropping fast (8.1k → 1.3k in months)
|
||||
|
||||
## Why URGENT
|
||||
|
||||
Volume trend: 8,100 → 480 → 1,300 (recovering but unstable)
|
||||
- Window of opportunity closing
|
||||
- Easy to rank (KD 3)
|
||||
- Direct comparison opportunity
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters
|
||||
|
||||
Midjourney users frustrated with:
|
||||
- Discord-only interface
|
||||
- No API access
|
||||
- Not developer-friendly
|
||||
- Expensive for programmatic use
|
||||
|
||||
Banatie angle: "Midjourney quality with developer-first API"
|
||||
|
||||
## Potential Angle
|
||||
|
||||
**Title:** "5 Midjourney Alternatives with API Access for Developers"
|
||||
|
||||
**Structure:**
|
||||
1. Why developers need API (not Discord)
|
||||
2. Comparison table (pricing, API, speed)
|
||||
3. Banatie positioning as developer-native
|
||||
4. Code examples
|
||||
|
||||
## Competitors to Include
|
||||
|
||||
| Tool | API | Developer Focus |
|
||||
|------|-----|-----------------|
|
||||
| Replicate | ✓ | Medium |
|
||||
| fal.ai | ✓ | High |
|
||||
| Runware | ✓ | Medium |
|
||||
| DALL-E API | ✓ | Medium |
|
||||
| **Banatie** | ✓ | **Native** |
|
||||
|
||||
## Keywords Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
| Keyword | Vol | KD |
|
||||
|---------|-----|----|
|
||||
| midjourney alternative | 1,300 | 3 |
|
||||
| midjourney api | 720 | 35 |
|
||||
| ai image generator api | 590 | 32 |
|
||||
| stable diffusion api | 590 | 29 |
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Declining volume = publish FAST
|
||||
- Comparison content ranks well
|
||||
- Include code examples for developer trust

# Idea — VALIDATED ✓
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Source:** Keyword research + SERP analysis — 2026-01-09
|
||||
**Evidence:**
|
||||
- "placeholder images" = 14,800 monthly searches
|
||||
- KD: 32 (medium difficulty)
|
||||
- "AI placeholder images" in Google's related searches ← DIRECT VALIDATION
|
||||
- SERP dominated by simple placeholder tools (beatable)
|
||||
|
||||
## SERP Analysis Results
|
||||
|
||||
### Top 3 Competitors to Beat:
|
||||
|
||||
**1. placehold.co (Rank #1)**
|
||||
- Simple SVG/PNG placeholder generator
|
||||
- URL-based: `placehold.co/600x400`
|
||||
- Features: custom text, colors, formats
|
||||
- Weakness: Static, no context, no real images
|
||||
|
||||
**2. picsum.photos / Lorem Picsum (Rank #2)**
|
||||
- Random photo placeholders from Unsplash
|
||||
- URL-based: `picsum.photos/600/400`
|
||||
- Features: blur, grayscale, specific photos by ID
|
||||
- Weakness: Random (not contextual), limited control, no AI
|
||||
|
||||
**3. placehold.net (Rank #7)**
|
||||
- Similar to placehold.co
|
||||
- Weakness: Same limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### SERP Features Present:
|
||||
- People Also Ask (answer these in content!)
|
||||
- Video results (YouTube opportunity)
|
||||
- Related searches include "AI placeholder images"
|
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters
|
||||
|
||||
PERFECT fit for Banatie:
|
||||
1. **Developer intent** — 100% of SERP is dev-focused
|
||||
2. **Beatable competitors** — simple tools, not giants
|
||||
3. **"AI placeholder images"** in related searches = Google validates our angle
|
||||
4. **Live URLs feature** — unique differentiator (placeholder → production)
|
||||
|
||||
## Banatie Differentiation
|
||||
|
||||
| Feature | placehold.co | Lorem Picsum | Banatie |
|
||||
|---------|--------------|--------------|---------|
|
||||
| Real images | ❌ | ✓ (random) | ✓ (contextual) |
|
||||
| AI-generated | ❌ | ❌ | ✓ |
|
||||
| Prompt-based | ❌ | ❌ | ✓ |
|
||||
| Live URLs | ❌ | ❌ | ✓ |
|
||||
| API-first | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
|
||||
|
||||
## Content Angle
|
||||
|
||||
**Primary:** "Placeholder Images API: Beyond Lorem Picsum"
|
||||
- Problems with random placeholders
|
||||
- Why AI-generated contextual placeholders are better
|
||||
- Banatie as "placeholder that becomes production"
|
||||
- Code examples: prototype → production workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**Secondary content:**
|
||||
1. Comparison: "Lorem Picsum vs Banatie"
|
||||
2. Target: "AI placeholder images" (related search)
|
||||
3. Answer PAA: "What is a placeholder image?", "Where to get?"
|
||||
|
||||
## Keywords Cluster
|
||||
|
||||
| Keyword | Vol | KD | Priority |
|
||||
|---------|-----|----|----------|
|
||||
| placeholder images | 14,800 | 32 | PRIMARY |
|
||||
| placeholder api | 880 | 28 | Include |
|
||||
| lorem picsum | 880 | 15 | Comparison |
|
||||
| dummy images | 720 | 16 | Synonym |
|
||||
| test images | 6,600 | 9 | Secondary |
|
||||
| placeholder image generator | 480 | 32 | Include |
|
||||
|
||||
## Outreach Opportunity
|
||||
|
||||
**loremipsum.io** ranks #5 with "15 Best Placeholder Image Generators"
|
||||
→ Outreach to get Banatie listed after launch
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
|
||||
1. @strategist: Create brief with comparison angle
|
||||
2. Include PAA answers in content structure
|
||||
3. Plan YouTube video for SERP video results

# Idea — DEPRIORITIZED
|
||||
|
||||
## Discovery
|
||||
|
||||
**Source:** Keyword research + SERP analysis — 2026-01-09
|
||||
**Evidence:**
|
||||
- "test images" = 6,600 monthly searches
|
||||
- KD: 9 (ULTRA LOW difficulty)
|
||||
- BUT: Mixed intent in SERP
|
||||
|
||||
## SERP Analysis Results
|
||||
|
||||
| # | Domain | Type |
|
||||
|---|--------|------|
|
||||
| 1 | picsum.photos | Placeholder API ← good signal |
|
||||
| 2 | unsplash.com | Stock gallery |
|
||||
| 3 | pexels.com | Stock gallery |
|
||||
| 4 | gettyimages.com | Stock gallery |
|
||||
| 5 | shutterstock.com | Stock gallery |
|
||||
| 9 | testimages.org | Display calibration |
|
||||
|
||||
### Problem: Mixed Intent
|
||||
Three different user intents compete:
|
||||
1. Developer placeholder images (Lorem Picsum #1)
|
||||
2. Stock photos about "testing" concept
|
||||
3. Display/monitor calibration patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Why Deprioritized
|
||||
|
||||
- SERP polluted with stock photo sites
|
||||
- "placeholder images" has cleaner developer intent
|
||||
- Better to rank for "placeholder images" first, capture "test images" as secondary
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
**Don't create standalone content.** Instead:
|
||||
1. Target "placeholder images" as primary
|
||||
2. Include "test images" as H2/section within placeholder content
|
||||
3. Can naturally rank for both if content is comprehensive
|
||||
|
||||
## Keywords
|
||||
|
||||
| Keyword | Vol | KD | Action |
|
||||
|---------|-----|----|--------|
|
||||
| test images | 6,600 | 9 | Include in placeholder content |
|
||||
| placeholder images | 14,800 | 32 | PRIMARY target |
|
||||
| dummy images | 720 | 16 | Synonym, include |
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Lorem Picsum at #1 proves developer demand EXISTS for this query. But cleaner opportunity is "placeholder images".

## 🔍 SERP ANALYSIS RESULTS
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ "placeholder images" — PRIMARY TARGET
|
||||
**Volume:** 14,800 | **KD:** 32
|
||||
|
||||
**Top Competitors:**
|
||||
1. placehold.co — Simple SVG/PNG placeholders
|
||||
2. picsum.photos — Random photo placeholders (Lorem Picsum)
|
||||
3. placehold.net — Similar to placehold.co
|
||||
|
||||
**Why Banatie Wins:**
|
||||
- AI-generated (contextual, not random)
|
||||
- Live URLs (placeholder → production)
|
||||
- Prompt-based control
|
||||
- "AI placeholder images" in Google's related searches
|
||||
|
||||
**Action:** HIGH PRIORITY content
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ "banner images" — SKIP
|
||||
**Volume:** 27,100 | **KD:** 21
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Wrong intent
|
||||
- SERP dominated by stock photo sites (Unsplash, Adobe, Freepik)
|
||||
- Users want to FIND images, not GENERATE
|
||||
- No opportunity for Banatie
|
||||
|
||||
**Action:** Archived
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ "test images" — SECONDARY
|
||||
**Volume:** 6,600 | **KD:** 9
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem:** Mixed intent
|
||||
- Lorem Picsum #1 (good signal)
|
||||
- But stock sites pollute SERP
|
||||
- Better to capture via "placeholder images"
|
||||
|
||||
**Action:** Include as H2 in placeholder content

## 📊 LONG-TAIL QUESTIONS ANALYSIS
|
||||
|
||||
### Results Summary
|
||||
| Category | Keywords Tested | With Data | Null |
|
||||
|----------|-----------------|-----------|------|
|
||||
| Claude Code + Images | 6 | 2 | 4 |
|
||||
| Vibecoding + Images | 4 | 0 | 4 |
|
||||
| Generic AI + Images | 6 | 0 | 6 |
|
||||
| Component + Images | 4 | 0 | 4 |
|

|
||||
### Only Keywords With Data
|
||||
| Keyword | Volume |
|
||||
|---------|--------|
|
||||
| can claude code generate images | 20 |
|
||||
| claude code image generation | 10 |
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Insight: The Gap Problem
|
||||
- Long-tail question keywords = mostly ZERO volume
|
||||
- People search for SOLUTIONS ("placeholder images") not PROBLEMS ("how to get images for vibe coding")
|
||||
- SEO for question keywords = low ROI
|
||||
|
||||
### Strategy
|
||||
1. ❌ Don't target question keywords standalone
|
||||
2. ✅ Target solution keywords ("placeholder images")
|
||||
3. ✅ Use questions as H2s within solution content
|
||||
4. ✅ Answer PAA questions in main content
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 KEY STRATEGIC INSIGHTS
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. IMAGE KEYWORDS = GOLD MINE
|
||||
Generic "[category] images" keywords have:
|
||||
- HIGH volume (1k-27k)
|
||||
- LOW competition (KD 4-21)
|
||||
- LOW advertiser interest (competition index 0.01-0.20)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. AI + CATEGORY = AVOID
|
||||
Pattern confirmed across all blocks:
|
||||
- "ai [category]" = HIGH competition, LOW volume
|
||||
- "[category] images" = LOW competition, HIGH volume
|
||||
|
||||
**Position as:** "images for developers" not "AI image generator"
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. PLACEHOLDER IMAGES = PERFECT FIT
|
||||
- 14,800 monthly searches
|
||||
- Direct developer intent
|
||||
- Beatable competitors (Lorem Picsum, placehold.co)
|
||||
- Natural fit for Banatie's "Live URLs" feature
|
||||
- "AI placeholder images" in related searches = VALIDATION
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. CLAUDE CODE > CURSOR FOR IMAGES
|
||||
- "claude code images" = 210 vol (exists)
|
||||
- "cursor ai images" = 0 vol (doesn't exist)
|
||||
|
||||
**Position Banatie as:** "images for Claude Code developers"
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. VIBECODING TREND
|
||||
- 10 → 135,000 searches in 3 months
|
||||
- Zero image-related queries = content gap
|
||||
- Opportunity to own "images for vibecoding" before competition
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. COMPETITOR LANDSCAPE SHIFTING
|
||||
| Competitor | Trend |
|
||||
|------------|-------|
|
||||
| fal.ai | 📈 +175% |
|
||||
| runware | 📈 +529% |
|
||||
| midjourney alternative | 📉 -84% |
|
||||
| stable diffusion api | 📉 -64% |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 FINAL PRIORITY MATRIX
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ DO NOW (Validated)
|
||||
1. **"Placeholder Images API"** — 14,800 vol, KD 32, perfect intent
|
||||
2. **"Midjourney Alternatives"** — 1,300 vol, KD 3, declining volume (urgent)
|
||||
3. **"Advertising Images"** — 1,600 vol, KD 4, quick win
|
||||
|
||||
### ⏳ DO NEXT (Need SERP validation)
|
||||
1. "Marketing Images" — 2,900 vol, KD 19
|
||||
2. "Social Media Images" — 1,900 vol, KD 14
|
||||
3. "Blog Images" — 720 vol, KD 7
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ SKIP
|
||||
1. ~~"Banner Images"~~ — Wrong intent (stock photos)
|
||||
2. ~~Long-tail questions~~ — No volume

### Top Product Photography Keywords
|
||||
| Keyword | Vol | KD | Priority |
|
||||
|---------|-----|----|----|-------|
|
||||
| product shots | 720 | 21 | 🔥🔥 |
|
||||
| ecommerce photography | 880 | 32 | 🔥🔥 |
|
||||
| ai product photos | 320 | 23 | 🔥 |

|
||||
| white background product photos | 50 | 5 | ⭐ |
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Insight
|
||||
Original seed keywords had ZERO volume:
|
||||
- "generate product color variants" = null
|
||||
- "bulk product image generation" = null
|
||||
- "product mockup api" = null
|
||||
- "automate product photography" = null
|
||||
|
||||
**People search for END results, not automation solutions.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendation
|
||||
Product photography is SECONDARY to placeholder images:
|
||||
- Placeholder: 14,800 vol
|
||||
- eCommerce photography: 880 vol
|
||||
|
||||
Target product photography AFTER placeholder images content is live.

|
||||
|
||||
## 📊 KEY INSIGHTS
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. eCommerce Photography = Sweet Spot
|
||||
- "ecommerce photography" (880 vol, KD 32, LOW competition)
|
||||
- "product shots" (720 vol, KD 21, LOW competition)
|
||||
- HIGH CPC ($7-9) = commercial intent, advertisers pay
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy:** Create "AI product photography for eCommerce" guide targeting these keywords
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Background/White Background = Developer Need
|
||||
- "product photo background" (320 vol, KD 18)
|
||||
- "white background product photos" (50 vol, KD 5 — ULTRA LOW!)
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy:** Feature for Banatie: "Generate product images with transparent/white background"
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Platform-Specific = Low Competition
|
||||
- "amazon product images" (140 vol, KD 9)
|
||||
- "shopify product images" (70 vol, KD 21)
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy:** Create platform-specific tutorials ("Product images for Shopify with AI")
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. "AI [product photography]" = HIGH Competition
|
||||
Pattern confirmed:
|
||||
- "ai product image generator" = KD 73, declining
|
||||
- "ai product photos" = KD 23 (exception!)
|
||||
- "product photography ai" = KD 24
|
||||
|
||||
**Exception:** "ai product photos" is less competitive (KD 23) vs "ai product image generator" (KD 73)
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Automation/API Keywords = LOW Volume
|
||||
Original query keywords:
|
||||
| Keyword | Volume | Notes |
|
||||
|---------|--------|-------|
|
||||
| generate product color variants | null | No search demand |
|
||||
| bulk product image generation | null | No search demand |
|
||||
| product image variations api | null | No search demand |
|
||||
| automate product photography | null | No search demand |
|
||||
| product mockup api | null | No search demand |
|
||||
| product image api | 10 | Minimal |
|
||||
|
||||
**Insight:** People don't search for automation solutions. They search for the END result ("product photos", "ecommerce images").

## SERP VALIDATION SUMMARY
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ "placeholder images" — GO
|
||||
- **Intent:** 100% developer
|
||||
- **Competitors:** placehold.co, Lorem Picsum, placehold.net (all beatable)
|
||||
- **Validation:** "AI placeholder images" in Google's related searches
|
||||
- **Differentiation:** AI-generated, Live URLs, prompt-based
|
||||
- **Action:** Create comprehensive guide + comparison content
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ "banner images" — NO GO
|
||||
- **Intent:** Stock photo search (Unsplash, Adobe, Freepik dominate)
|
||||
- **Problem:** Users want to FIND images, not GENERATE
|
||||
- **Action:** Archived from content pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ "test images" — CONDITIONAL
|
||||
- **Intent:** Mixed (placeholders + stock + calibration)
|
||||
- **Signal:** Lorem Picsum ranks #1 (proves developer demand)
|
||||
- **Action:** Include as H2 in placeholder content, not standalone
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## STRATEGIC INSIGHTS
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Solution Keywords Beat Problem Keywords
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | Example | Volume |
|
||||
|------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| Solution | "placeholder images" | 14,800 |
|
||||
| Problem | "how to get images for vibe coding" | 0 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy:** Target what people search for (solutions), not what they need (problems).
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Generic > AI-Prefixed
|
||||
|
||||
| Keyword Type | Vol | KD | Competition |
|
||||
|--------------|-----|----|----|
|
||||
| "placeholder images" | 14,800 | 32 | LOW |
|
||||
| "ai placeholder images" | — | — | Unknown |
|
||||
| "ai image generator" | — | 70+ | HIGH |
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy:** Position as "images for developers" not "AI image generator"
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Platform-Specific = Low Competition
|
||||
|
||||
| Keyword | Vol | KD |
|
||||
|---------|-----|-----|
|
||||
| amazon product images | 140 | 9 |
|
||||
| shopify product images | 70 | 21 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategy:** Create platform-specific tutorials for quick wins
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Automation Keywords Have Zero Volume
|
||||
|
||||
Tested keywords with null results:
|
||||
- generate product color variants
|
||||
- bulk product image generation
|
||||
- product mockup api
|
||||
- automate product photography
|
||||
- images for vibe coded website
|
||||
|
||||
**Insight:** Developers don't search for automation — they search for results.

|
||||
**Difficulty:** Would require competing with Unsplash, Adobe, Freepik
|

### VERDICT: 🔥 PERFECT TARGET
|
||||
|
||||
**Intent:** 100% developer — find/use placeholder images
|
||||
**Top 3 competitors to beat:**
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. placehold.co
|
||||
- Simple SVG/PNG placeholder generator
|
||||
- URL-based: placehold.co/600x400
|
||||
- Features: custom text, colors, formats
|
||||
- Weakness: Static, no context, no AI
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. picsum.photos (Lorem Picsum)
|
||||
- Random photo placeholders
|
||||
- URL-based: picsum.photos/600/400
|
||||
- Features: blur, grayscale, specific photos
|
||||
- Weakness: Random (not contextual), limited control
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Reddit thread (static.photos)
|
||||
- New service with categories
|
||||
- 46 categories (nature, food, tech)
|
||||
- Weakness: Still stock photos, not generated
|
||||
|
||||
### BANATIE DIFFERENTIATION:
|
||||
1. **AI-generated** — contextual, not random
|
||||
2. **Live URLs** — placeholders that become production images
|
||||
3. **Prompt-based** — describe what you need
|
||||
4. **API-first** — built for developers
|
||||
|
||||
### CONTENT STRATEGY:
|
||||
1. Create comparison: "Lorem Picsum vs Banatie"
|
||||
2. Target "AI placeholder images" (in related searches!)
|
||||
3. Answer PAA questions in content
|
||||
4. Get listed in loremipsum.io listicle (outreach)

## KEY INSIGHT: The Gap Problem
|
||||
|
||||
**What we found:**
|
||||
- Long-tail question keywords = mostly ZERO volume
|
||||
- People DON'T search "how to get images for vibe coding"
|
||||
- Only "can claude code generate images" (20 vol) has any data
|
||||
|
||||
**Why this matters:**
|
||||
1. SEO for long-tail questions = low ROI (no volume)
|
||||
2. BUT the NEED exists (validated by "placeholder images" 14.8k vol)
|
||||
3. People search for SOLUTIONS ("placeholder images") not PROBLEMS ("images for vibe coded website")
|
||||
|
||||
**Strategic implication:**
|
||||
- Don't create content targeting question keywords
|
||||
- Target solution keywords: "placeholder images", "ai placeholder images"
|
||||
- Position Banatie as answer to unasked questions
|
||||
- Use question keywords in H2s within solution-focused content
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## FINAL RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||||
|
||||
### ❌ SKIP: "banner images"
|
||||
- Wrong intent (stock photos, not generation)
|
||||
- Dominated by giants (Unsplash, Adobe, Freepik)
|
||||
|
||||
### ⚠️ SECONDARY: "test images"
|
||||
- Mixed intent, messy SERP
|
||||
- Lorem Picsum #1 proves developer demand
|
||||
- Can capture if we rank for "placeholder images" first
|
||||
|
||||
### ✅ PRIMARY: "placeholder images"
|
||||
- Perfect developer intent
|
||||
- Beatable competitors (simple placeholder services)
|
||||
- "AI placeholder images" in related searches = validation
