Why it works

A Marketing & SEO product in this shape is already a proven earner — real businesses here run at roughly $1M–10M/mo. See the live example for exactly how it's packaged and sold.

Who it's for

Solo founder or 2-person team with basic dev skills targeting African SME marketers (e.g., e-commerce, agencies, SaaS). Build in Nigeria, sell across West Africa and diaspora.

How to build it

1. Pick one ad platform (Google Ads OR Facebook) and nail unified reporting + basic budget rules (spend caps, pause underperformers). Launch MVP in 4 weeks. 2. Build a simple auth + stripe/Paystack billing. Host on Vercel or Railway. Target first 50 users via Facebook groups, WhatsApp communities, and Twitter threads about ad ROI. 3. Add raw ad-performance export (CSV/PDF reports) and spend alerts by SMS (Termii or AWS SNS). Charge monthly per account connected. 4. After 100 paying users, add the second platform (Facebook if you started with Google). Upsell existing users. 5. Once stable, layer in basic ML: flag wasted spend patterns, suggest bid adjustments. This justifies higher tier.

Your edge as a builder from anywhere

Nigerian builders understand local SME pain: no unified view across ad spends, cheap SMS + push infrastructure for alerts already native to Africa. Build for *how* Africans actually run ads (multiple small budgets, cash-flow conscious). Launch pricing in NGN/GHS/KES first. White-label for agencies. Diaspora users in US/UK already pay in USD for this; you can undercut Supermetrics or Optmyzr by 60%
