Executive Summary

Many SMBs (around 2.0M) need steady organic traffic but lack the time and resources to produce consistent, high-quality SEO content plus short-form videos, so they waste expensive marketing budgets and miss distribution from platforms that favor cadence and watch-time. Agencies and small teams struggle because outsourcing is slow and costly, and in-house production rarely hits the daily or weekly cadence required to move algorithmic signals. You could build an automated engine that generates SEO-optimized long-form posts and parallel short-video scripts/assets via generative AI, automatically schedules and publishes across blog, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok, and iterates via A/B tests on thumbnails, hooks, and metadata. The product would include human-in-the-loop quality checks, closed-loop performance analytics, and templates tuned to velocity/watch-time so clients can materially improve rankings in days-to-weeks rather than months. This is attractive because the addressable market is roughly $18.0B (2.0M SMBs × $9K ACV) and recent AI advances plus platform preference for high-frequency publishing significantly lower cost-to-publish while raising the upside for automation. With competition at a medium level, there’s room for a solution that tightly integrates SEO and short-form distribution rather than treating them as separate products. Your competitive edge would be a combined SEO+short-video stack with closed-loop optimization, niche-specific templates, and performance-based onboarding that delivers cadence and measurable ROI at a fraction of agency costs. However, success requires solving practical challenges — maintaining content quality at scale, avoiding platform penalties, and proving ROI quickly to SMB buyers — so start niche-first with human oversight and clear KPIs before scaling.
