# 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.
