💎 3 profitable internet directories ideas

#21: As seen in the Startup Ideas Podcast

Let’s move to this week’s business ideas found with Build The Keyword.

This week I was inspired by the Startup Ideas podcast.

In the interview Greg Isenberg talks with successful directory entrepreneur Frey Chu.

He shares how he makes local profitable directories around keywords.

His keyword criteria are:

• Keywords with ‘near’ me in it

• Monthly search volume between 30,000-100,000

• Keyword Difficulty lower than 20

So I dived into Build The Keyword and added 132 keywords that fit all those criteria to our Idea Library.

Today I share 3 of those here.

For the other 129 keywords (or to search your own) you will need to become a Build The Keyword customer :).

Idea #1: Jetski rental near me

• Monthly search volume: 74,000

• Keyword difficulty: 🟢13/20

• Product idea: jet ski rental directory

  • Scrape google maps of all places that rent jet ski rentals

  • Create a directory with for each listing: name, address, phone, reviews, images

  • Enrich the data so you can implement relevant filters like: license required or not, guided excursion or not, delivery or pickup, kids allowed or not…)

  • Create extra directory pages around the related keywords (like jet ski rental near california, jet ski rental near texas, jet ski rental ocean city)

• Monetization: lead generation partnership with jet ski businesses

Idea #2: dog beach near me

• Monthly search volume: 60,500

• Keyword difficulty: 🟢4/100

• Product idea: dog beach directory

  • Scrape google maps of all dog beaches

  • Create a directory with for each listing: name, address, reviews, images

  • Enrich the data so you can implement relevant filters like parking, shade, year-round, off-leash, water fontains, benches, …

  • Create extra directory pages around the related keywords (like dog beach park florida, dog beach chicago, best dog beach california, dog friendly beaches portland)

Idea #3: Childs dentist near me

• Monthly search volume: 201,000

• Keyword difficulty: 🟢1/100

• Product idea: pediatric dentist directory

  • Scrape google maps of all child dentists

  • Create a directory with for each listing: name, address, reviews, images

  • Enrich the data so you can implement filters (insurance, emergency, walk-in, low cost)

  • Create extra directory pages around the related keywords (like pediatric dentist near me that accepts medicaid)

• Monetization: let’s say you have a mobile app that helps kids with brushing their teeth (for examle this app). A directory like this would be a great way to promote your app (with some visible banners) to your perfect customer (= parents who care about dental health).
