Understanding the Keyword Golden Ratio (KGR)
The Keyword Golden Ratio (KGR) is a data-driven method for finding low-competition keywords that new websites can rank for quickly. Created by Doug Cunnington, this formula helps identify keywords where the demand (search volume) significantly outweighs the supply (competing pages).
KGR works by comparing the number of Google results that have the exact keyword phrase in their title (allintitle results) to the monthly search volume. Keywords with a KGR under 0.25 are considered excellent opportunities because there are relatively few pages specifically targeting that exact phrase.
This method is particularly effective for new websites or those with lower domain authority, as it helps identify keywords where you can compete based on content quality rather than domain strength. The 250 search volume limit ensures the keywords are genuinely low-competition while still providing meaningful traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions
KGR = (Allintitle Results) / (Monthly Search Volume). The allintitle results show how many pages have the exact keyword in their title tag, indicating direct competition.
Keywords with higher search volumes typically attract more competition. The 250 limit helps ensure you're targeting genuinely low-competition keywords where content quality can make a difference.
Search Google for: allintitle:"your keyword phrase" (including the quotes). Google will show the number of results that have that exact phrase in their title tag.
While under 0.25 is ideal, keywords with KGR between 0.25 and 1.0 can still be good opportunities if you create high-quality, comprehensive content.
