Before writing a single word of content, you need to know if you can realistically rank for your target keyword. Enter any keyword, select from 10+ countries in the dropdown, and get an instant difficulty assessment. This is the first filter in any serious content strategy — it prevents you from wasting weeks of effort on keywords where the top 10 results are dominated by sites with domain authorities you cannot match. Use it to vet client keyword requests, validate blog topic ideas, or pre-screen terms from brainstorming sessions.
The results dashboard shows three critical metrics side by side: Keyword Difficulty (e.g., 58 "Hard"), Search Volume (e.g., 1,900/month), and CPC (e.g., $32.40). This three-metric view gives you the complete picture in one glance. A keyword with a high KD but also high CPC might still be worth pursuing with a long-term authority-building strategy because the commercial intent justifies the effort. Conversely, a low-KD keyword with zero CPC may drive traffic but not revenue. Use this dashboard to make data-driven editorial decisions.
The KD gauge provides a visual, intuitive representation of ranking difficulty. The score runs from 0 to 100 with color-coded severity: green (Easy, 0–20), yellow (Medium, 21–40), orange (Hard, 41–60), and red (Very Hard, 61–100). This visualization is especially useful when presenting keyword research to stakeholders or clients who don't work in SEO daily and need a quick, visual answer to "can we rank for this?"
Search volume is the foundation of all keyword targeting decisions. This card isolates the monthly search volume metric, letting you confirm that enough people are actively searching for this term to justify creating content. A common mistake in SEO is targeting keywords with zero or negligible volume simply because they seem relevant. This quick check prevents that — and when combined with the KD score, tells you whether the opportunity is both real and achievable.
