Method
How a niche gets picked.
- Niches, not categories. An AI taxonomy splits each store category into niches like “GLP-1 medication tracker” and assigns every app with 50+ ratings.
- Demand. Popularity of the search terms the niche ranks for, plus the ratings its apps hold.
- Weak incumbents. Low ratings, apps not updated for a year, a fragmented market, unhappy reviews.
- Room and money. Keyword difficulty, how many apps have 100k+ ratings, whether the leaders sell subscriptions and reach top grossing.
