The Brutal Reality Check
How strangers actually perceive your business
"The Swiss Army Knife of Retail Planning" — Effective, Easy, Affordable merchandise planning, sales forecasting, and inventory optimization for retail.
A strong product with impressive enterprise clients (Zumiez, Puma, CVS) but zero discoverability. Your website looks credible but nobody can find it through search.
You built 13 "vs Competitor" comparison pages, but they rank for nothing. Prospects search for solutions, not brand comparisons. You're answering questions nobody is asking yet.
The Market Landscape
What buyers actually want — and where the real money is
Dominant Themes
Inventory Management
The Volume TrapThe highest volume keywords are generic (e.g., "inventory management system" at 4,400/mo). While tempting, this is often "noisy" traffic — SMBs, students, warehouses — rather than retail directors.
Retail Analytics
The TrendA surge in demand for "predictive analytics," "retail dashboard," and "data analytics in retail." Buyers want intelligence, not just spreadsheets.
Merchandise Planning
The MoneyLower volume but highest intent. Keywords like "Merchandise Financial Planning" and "Assortment Planning" indicate sophisticated buyers with budgets.
The "Gold" Findings
Shockingly low difficulty for such a high-value term. Direct "Open-to-Buy" need that competitors are under-optimizing.
High intent for buyers looking to fix product mix issues. Low competition, high buyer sophistication.
Technical term used specifically by mid-to-enterprise Operations Directors. Ranking here proves you play in the big leagues.
🤖 AI Search Visibility
When buyers ask ChatGPT or other AI assistants about merchandise financial planning, who gets mentioned?
The AI Blindspot
When prospects ask AI "What's the best merchandise financial planning software?", Anaplan gets mentioned 77.5% of the time. You get mentioned 0% of the time. This isn't just about SEO anymore — AI is becoming the new search, and you're completely invisible.
