|
||
|
||
## Final Recommendation
|
||
|
||
### Primary: **vibe ai**
|
||
|
||
**Rationale:**
|
||
1. Direct hit to AI topic
|
||
2. Connection to growing "vibe coding" cultural trend (+418% yearly)
|
||
3. KD 38 is passable for quality content blog
|
||
4. Excellent long-tail keywords for content strategy
|
||
5. Competitors don't dominate - space to enter
|
||
|
||
**Content Strategy for vibe ai:**
|
||
- Reviews: "best ai for vibe coding"
|
||
- Tutorials: "vibe coding ai tools"
|
||
- News: "vibe ai updates"
|
||
- Comparisons: AI Code agents
|
||
- Creative: Image/Video generation reviews
|
||
|
||
**Next Steps:**
|
||
1. Check domain availability: vibeai.com, vibeai.ai, vibeai.io, vibeai.app
|
||
2. If domains taken, consider alternatives:
|
||
- vibe-ai.com
|
||
- thevibeai.com
|
||
- vibeai.blog
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Alternative: **vibe lab**
|
||
|
||
**If vibe ai domains are taken:**
|
||
- Lowest KD (18) - easiest to rank
|
||
- Less competition
|
||
- Good for "experimental" format
|
||
- Content focus: "lab tests", "experiments", "reviews"
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
## Risk Analysis
|
||
|
||
### Risk #1: KD 38 may be difficult for startup
|
||
|
||
**Mitigation:**
|
||
- Start with long-tail keywords (KD 25-28)
|
||
- Gradually move to head term
|
||
- Content cluster strategy: vibe coding ai → vibe code ai → vibe ai
|
||
|
||
### Risk #2: Navigational intent - people search for specific products
|
||
|
||
**Mitigation:**
|
||
- Become that product (blog as destination)
|
||
- Build brand recognition (SEO + branding + social presence)
|
||
|
||
### Risk #3: Google Vibe Code feature competes
|
||
|
||
**Mitigation:**
|
||
- Focus on reviews, comparisons, news (not duplicate Google feature)
|
||
- Position as comprehensive resource vs single tool
