Executive Summary

Many SMBs and agencies that run content calendars in spreadsheets or Airtable still publish posts one-by-one or by manual copy/paste, which wastes hours when batches of 50–500 posts need to go out; this problem is acute for operations-heavy teams without engineering resources. That pain point maps to roughly 5M businesses that currently spend about $1,600/year on social management tools, particularly small marketing teams and agencies juggling high-volume campaigns. You could build a CSV-native bulk publisher that ingests CSVs and Airtable exports, applies templating variables, deduplicates by URL or content hash, and schedules posts with per-platform rate handling, retry/backoff, and a conflict-resolution UI. Complement that with column mapping, visual previews, per-account API keys, and simple pricing (volume-based or per-seat plus volume) so mid-sized customers can reach an estimated $1.6K ACV. This market is attractive now: we estimate an $8.0B addressable market (5M businesses × $1.6K ACV), a market score of 85/100 and revenue potential of 78/100, driven by the rise of no-code spreadsheet workflows and a preference for specialized point tools rather than monolithic suites. Social platform APIs and webhooks are also more mature than before, making reliable automation and retry strategies feasible and reducing the operational lift of bulk publishing. You can stand out by being truly CSV-first and workflow-native — dedupe, smart templating, and tight Airtable/export integrations solve a concrete, underserved workflow that larger platforms overlook. Honest challenges are API volatility, platform policy differences, and mid-market customer acquisition costs, but these are addressable with rigorous automated testing against platform changes, clear SLAs and retry guarantees, and focused go-to-market targeting agencies and ops teams.
