Why this works now (our analysis)
Google's search algorithms prioritize content relevant to live events, which Draft Fantasy leverages effectively during the World Cup. The platform could enhance its initial revenue by promoting its games through targeted ads on r/FantasySports, reaching a highly engaged audience. A significant constraint is the potential for high customer acquisition costs, particularly during peak event seasons when competition for user attention intensifies.
