Skip the build. Skip the sandbox. Start on page one.

• Keto drinks database. 252 drinks across beer, hard seltzer, wine, spirits, cocktails, soda, energy drinks, milks and coffee, with a search tool and a source link on every row. Competing keto sites cover drinks in single long articles, not a searchable, sourced table.
• 43 restaurant guides, up from 13. Every number re-checked against each chain’s own nutrition data, with carbs and fiber per item, a go-to order, the source pages and the month checked. A comparison table ranks the best keto order at every chain.
• Five new tools. Metabolic health labs, glucose ketone index (with a lipid check), carb tolerance planner, hidden-carb label checker and keto baking converter. Plus a cited guide to low-carb diets and chronic disease.
• Every calculator now shows its sources. Health numbers come from one shared guideline file, so the site never contradicts itself, and the protein math now uses lean body mass.

Building a tools site is the easy part. Getting search engines to trust a new domain is the slow part, and it cannot be bought or hurried. MeKeto has already done both.

• Six months of build, shipped and documented: about 50,000 lines of strict TypeScript across 118 commits since April 22, 2026, with 288 automated tests.
• Nearly six months of indexing history with Google, and already sending visitors from Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo and Ecosia.
• Rankings that are moving up on the commercial head terms (see the table below), not a fresh domain waiting to be noticed.
• A product people use: 884 page views in the last 30 days, up 22%. Visitors come to run the calculators, not to bounce off an article.
• Turnkey handover: README, HANDOVER, ARCHITECTURE and MONETIZATION documents written for the next owner.

Average Google position, lower is better. The left column is a 138-day average and the right a 7-day one, so read it as a direction rather than a precise delta.

“keto calculator” went from page three to the bottom of page one. “keto diet calculator” and “keto macro calculator” came up from the twenties. The McDonald’s guide, which drew 445 impressions in the latest week, moved from an average of 29.6 to 11.7, and five more restaurant guides earned impressions at positions between 6.8 and 10.4.

This is the stretch where search traffic compounds. Positions 8 to 12 collect impressions but few clicks; positions 1 to 5 collect most of the clicks. The homepage already turns 1.3% of its impressions into clicks at an average position of 9.5, and on mobile the site’s average position was 9.0 last week.

Vercel Analytics as of October 19. Changes are against the period before, as Vercel reports them.

Weekly visitors nearly doubled, and monthly page views grew seven times as fast as monthly visitors. In the 30 days to September 26, five of the seven most-visited pages were calculators, led by the keto macro calculator and the weight loss calculator. Tools earn return visits and email signups in a way articles alone do not.

Vercel Analytics, 30 days to October 19, search referrers only.

Over the last 30 days Google sent 97 search visitors, and DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo and Ecosia together sent 110. In the week to October 19 the split was 23 from Google against 41 from the others. A site that is not dependent on one engine is a steadier asset, and none of this traffic shows up in Search Console, so the Google figures on this page understate the audience.

Google Search Console, Web search. The 30-day row is 12.5k, as Search Console displays it, divided by 30; the last row is 37,923 impressions over about 91 days. The last three rows overlap, so read them as rates, not totals. The “was 14.2” is the average position for August 27 to September 25.

The step change between June and July is when the restaurant guides, learn hub, food category hubs and recipe library shipped. The 28 days to October 5 brought 58 Google clicks, almost as many as the site’s entire first 138 days (59), from 511 different queries and across 19 pages: calculators, restaurant guides, food pages, the meal plan, the cheat sheet and a recipe, not only the homepage. Over the last three months the homepage took 102 of 142 Google clicks, and the restaurant guides alone drew 7,369 impressions, led by McDonald’s at 4,231.

• Switch on revenue. Affiliate product cards are placed and click-tracked; the ad slot is wired behind one flag. Add your own Amazon Associates or ad network account.
• Grow the email list. Consented signup runs on all 23 calculators and writes to Postgres with a CSV export. Connect any email provider and start sending.
• Add restaurant guides. The restaurant cluster is the fastest climber. A new guide is one data file; the page, structured data, internal links and sitemap entry follow automatically, and tests reject a guide without sources.
• Widen the food database. Each food gets its own “is X keto” page. Adding foods is a data job, not a build.
• Bolt on your product. Point calculator results at your app, coaching program or store. The tools already do the qualifying.

Plus the domain, the GitHub repository, the Neon Postgres database, the Vercel project, and the documentation. The stack is Next.js 16, React 19, strict TypeScript, Tailwind v4, Neon Postgres and Vercel. Pages are statically rendered, so hosting costs stay low.

Quality is measured. In Google PageSpeed Insights on October 9, 2026, the homepage scored 96 for Performance on mobile and 100 on desktop, and a recipe page scored 99 and 100, with Accessibility, Best Practices and SEO at 100 on all four runs. Those are single runs, which move a few points either way. axe-core reports zero accessibility violations, npm audit reports zero vulnerabilities in the production dependencies, and the structured data has zero broken references across the whole build.

The questions every buyer asks, answered up front. All of it can be checked in the same accounts as everything above.

Search figures are in Google Search Console under Performance, Web search: the latest week is September 29 to October 5, 2026; the 28-day figures are September 8 to October 5; the previous 30-day comparison is a custom range of August 27 to September 25; the baseline is April 21 to September 5. Indexing is the Pages report as of October 4. Visitors, page views, bounce rate and referrers are Vercel Analytics. Content counts come from the repository and a production build, and the sitemap is public at meketo.com/sitemap.xml. Screen-share walkthroughs of any account are available on request.
