💡 SaaS Idea: OnboardLite: Client onboarding portal for solo consultants and small agencies
Lightweight client onboarding portal to collect briefs, share checklists/SOPs, track milestones, and capture approvals. Simpler, cheaper alternative to enterprise onboarding suites.
Platform: web
Why it's a good idea?
Keyword demand
- "client onboarding software": 1,000 monthly searches, keyword difficulty (KD) 16. Under 30 so meets ‘easy-to-rank’ criterion. CPC ≈ $97, which shows strong commercial intent.
- "customer onboarding software": 1,000 volume, KD 24, CPC ≈ $97 as well.
- Long-tail variations such as “client onboarding tools” (90 vol, KD 12), “best client onboarding software” (50 vol, KD 13) and “client onboarding portal” (50 vol, KD 8) give additional low-difficulty angles. Total available addressable organic search traffic comfortably clears the 500-search-per-month bar.
