Score a niche before you commit 18 months of writing.

Type (or pick) a niche you have in mind, set the years of prior practice and the two sliders to match your real situation, and get a quick verdict across search demand, competition, and your personal expertise fit. Honest, heuristic, and a starting checklist — not the final answer.

How this niche scores
Three dimensions, each on a 0–100 scale with a strong / decent / risky / weak label — verdict lands in pick / probe / park.

Pick a starting point

Picking a preset drops in a starter topic you can edit.

One short phrase (3–6 words is the sweet spot for ranking). The score updates live as you type.

Narrow the angle — specific sub-niches usually face less entrenched competition.

Years you've actively worked in or adjacent to this niche.

3 / 5 — how much you'd enjoy 200 articles

8h / week — research, writing, editing

Scoring is live — no submit button, no round-trip.

Your results will appear here

Pick a starting point above (or type your own topic). Verdict, sub-scores, and three next-article angles all populate as soon as you put a topic in.

The score is a heuristic starting checklist — confirm with a real keyword tool before you commit 18 months of writing.

What the score is

A weighted blend: 35% expertise fit, 30% competition, 35% demand. The numbers are a first pass to help you triage ideas, not a ranking guarantee.

What it isn't

Live keyword volume, search-trend data, or SERP analysis. Always verify a niche with Ahrefs or Semrush before writing a 200-article corpus.
