FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What makes a keyword difficult?

Difficulty usually increases when the SERP is dominated by high-authority domains, link-rich pages, and strong intent-match content.

Should I ignore high-difficulty keywords?

Not always. They can still be useful if they align with your product and you can win through niche intent or stronger page quality.

How should I use the score?

Use it as a prioritization input alongside business value, search intent, topical relevance, and your existing authority.
