    Keyword difficulty essentially means how much competition there is for that particular keyword. It measures how difficult it is for you to rank for that keyword. The higher the competition, the higher the keyword difficulty, and the more difficult it is to rank for that keyword.

    Hi Friends,
    In short, keyword difficulty is a scale of which keywords offer the best balance between traffic potential and ranking difficulty specifically for your website.

    It’s important to understand keyword difficulty and how it fits into your SEO strategy. Much like a traffic light, keyword difficulty indicates when it’s in your best interest to proceed (green), when to proceed with exceptionally smart and diligent SEO (only after you’ve opened your eyes to the competitive landscape- yellow), and red, when the climate is highly unfavorable and detrimental to resources for you to proceed.

    Keyword difficulty (or keyword competition) is a critical metric when doing keyword research. The higher the value, the harder is to compete with others using that keyword

    Keyword difficulty (KD) - is a metric that helps you to determine your chances to rank for a certain keyword in the top of search. In other words, how hard would it be to rank for a particular keyword given the level of competition around it.

    Keyword difficulty (or “competition”) is a metric used to determine how difficult it is rank for a keyword. Assessing keyword difficulty can help you determine whether or not it's worth your time and money to either: 1. Optimize an organic page for that keyword, or 2. Bid on that keyword in a Google Ads campaign.

    Keyword Difficulty (also known as “SEO difficulty” or “keyword competition”) is the process of evaluating how difficult it is to rank in Google's organic search results for a specific term. A keyword's difficulty is based on a number of different factors, including domain authority, page authority, and content quality.

    Focusing on low competition keywords is the secret ingredient to SEO success.
