How to Check If People Are Actually Searching for Your Solution
Search is the most honest demand signal. People don't type into Google to be polite. DemandSonar's "Search Reality Check" module answers two questions: Is anyone searching? And are they searching with buying intent? The platform aggregates search volume from 14 engines and corrects for ads data, autocomplete, and seasonal noise. It then segments searches by intent. For a solution like "vegan meal delivery for weightlifters," it might return:
- High-volume problem search: "high protein vegan meals" (22,000/mo)
- Solution-aware search: "vegan meal delivery muscle gain" (1,200/mo)
- Transactional: "buy vegan bodybuilding meals" (800/mo) If the transactional bucket is below 10% of total volume, the platform warns that people are browsing, not buying. This simple check has saved our users from building "educational content" businesses when they thought they were building product businesses. [Run your search reality check →]
