Keyword Golden Ratio Checker

Calculate KGR scores to find keywords you can rank for in days, not months.

What this tool does

The Keyword Golden Ratio Checker calculates the KGR score for any keyword: the number of Google results with the keyword in their title (allintitle) divided by its monthly search volume. Enter your keyword and the allintitle count — the tool fetches live search volume, computes the ratio, and gives you the verdict: under 0.25 is 'golden', 0.25 to 1.0 is possible, above 1.0 means look elsewhere.

KGR, popularized by Doug Cunnington, is a supply-and-demand test for low-competition keywords. If only 30 pages on the internet deliberately target a phrase that 200 people search every month, demand exceeds supply — and a decent article can often rank in days rather than months, even on a newer site with little authority. The method is designed for keywords under 250 monthly searches, which is exactly where new and growing sites should be hunting anyway.

To get your allintitle count, search Google for allintitle:"your keyword" and copy the result number. Stack up a list of golden keywords, then let SirWritesALot write the articles that claim them.
