Cloud service where users upload or email hundreds of PDF documents (invoices, forms). The system uses AI templates to extract structured data into CSV/Excel or APIs; pay-per-page.

Platform: web

Why it's a good idea?

Keyword Demand

  • "pdf data extraction" → 1 000 searches/mo, KD 10, CPC $22.9 âžś healthy demand & low difficulty.
  • "extract data from pdf to excel" → 590 searches/mo, KD 20, CPC $28.1.
  • "invoice data extraction" → 170 searches/mo, KD 4, CPC $40.9 (smaller volume but ultra-commercial and very low difficulty).
  • Long-tail variants ("pdf data extraction software", "automated data extraction from pdf", etc.) add another ~200-300 total monthly searches with KD < 30.
    => Core term set easily breaks the 500-search/mo threshold with generally low competition scores, and high CPC signals purchase intent.
