01b / strategy evolution
A UEFA-qualified coach spent 15+ years building the 360TFT coaching-education audience first, then launched FootballGPT into it (~Dec 2025): promoted through the Football Coaching Academy Skool community, the 360TFT blog and cross-promotion with sibling tools (RefereeGPT, CoachReflect). Then a programmatic SEO layer went far beyond coaching queries into Football Manager 26 and EA FC gaming keywords. Still growing (+21% MoM at capture, ~8 months of revenue) — and already listed for sale at $200k (3.8x). The claimed '140% month-over-month growth' on the listing is founder-stated and unverified.
02 / channel claims — with receipts
RANK 1
Existing audience (360TFT)
third-partystatedLaunched into a pre-built coach audience: "part of the 360TFT coaching ecosystem", pushed via the Skool community, blog and sibling-tool cross-promotion — which explains 461 subscribers within eight months of launch. The "12k+ coaches use it" figure is the ecosystem's own claim.
high confidence
RANK 2
Programmatic SEO (coaching + gaming)
detected522 templated URLs — 161 guides, 31 drills, formations/positions pages — and, cleverly, 43 Football Manager 26 tactics/wonderkids pages plus EA FC content: fishing gaming keyword pools far bigger than real-world coaching.
high confidence
RANK 3
Founder X content
statedThe founder posts product promotion, free AI-for-football courses and an AI-agent-building course from his coaching account — content funnels aimed at the same coach audience, self-declared alongside SEO as the channel mix.
