🧭 Coaching & MentoringA focused community: Coaching & Mentoring for people who want results, not another feed
The Coaching & Mentoring category shows significant interest, particularly in the top search term "life coaching," which has 6,600 monthly searches in the US and 17,000 worldwide. This reflects a combined total of 8,150 monthly searches across tracked terms, with a steady year-on-year increase of 3%. With only 3 of 4 communities publishing a monthly price, and one of those being free or under $25, there is an opportunity for you to stand out by clearly stating your pricing. Your course-led format combined with community engagement can attract members from a fraction of your existing audience, fitting well within this landscape.

8,150 searches a month across these terms. Ranking difficulty 35/100, unusually soft for a topic this size. Search volume measures interest in the subject, not willingness to pay for a community about it. Treat it as the size of the room, not the size of the business.
The gap: Pricing here is mostly unpublished: 3 of 4 Coaching & Mentoring communities show a monthly price, and 1 of those 3 are free or under $25 a month. Anyone who states a price plainly is already unusual.
