For context: across 10,150 products listing verified revenue on TrustMRR, the median makes about $30 a month and about 5% make more than $8k (analysis, Sept 2026). The odds above assume the founder conditions below are met and the narrowed version is built, so they sit well above that all-comers rate. Why.
How many months at the plan’s pace
At $100/month per customer and 2.5% monthly churn, adding the customers the plan needs for its month-24 checkpoint. Change any of it in the what-if model.
| MRR | ~15 hrs/week | Full-time |
|---|---|---|
| $1k | 4 mo | 2 mo |
| $3k | 11 mo | 6 mo |
| $5k | 19 mo | 11 mo |
| $10k | 4 yr 8 mo | 24 mo |
| $20k | not reached | 7 yr 11 mo |
| $50k | not reached | not reached |
This works only if you…
1. Access to UK or Irish web-design agencies(missing it: odds × 0.6)
You can book 20 calls with agency owners within 30 days, through your network, WordPress/Webflow/Wix partner directories or local agency communities.
2. A Google Business Profile of your own, verified and active 60+ days, with a website(missing it: odds × 0.6)
Google requires this before it grants Business Profile API access. Without that access, you're limited to 5 reviews via Places (at $25 per 1,000 calls, with no caching) or to scraping, which breaks Google's terms.
3. Paid before built(missing it: odds × 0.6)
5 agencies paying ≥£39/month for a hand-run version by day 45, before product code beyond the widget.
