Question 1

What does the keyword difficulty score mean?

Accepted Answer

The keyword difficulty score (0–100) estimates how hard it is to rank in the top 10 for a given keyword based on the authority and backlink profiles of the current top-10 ranking pages. A score of 0–20 means you can rank with good on-page SEO alone. A score of 20–50 requires some backlinks. A score of 50–70 is competitive and needs strong domain authority. Scores above 70 are dominated by high-authority brands and are very difficult to crack.

Question 2

Can I check difficulty for multiple keywords at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Pro plan supports bulk keyword difficulty checks — paste up to 50 keywords at once and get difficulty scores for all of them in a single report. This is ideal for content planning sessions where you need to quickly prioritize a list of potential article topics.

Question 3

How accurate is the keyword difficulty score?

Accepted Answer

Keyword difficulty scores are estimates based on the current top-10 ranking pages' authority metrics. They provide a strong directional signal but cannot perfectly predict rankability — factors like content quality, topical authority, and user intent match also influence rankings. Use the score as a filter to prioritize, not as a guarantee.

Score	Level	What It Means
0–20	Very Easy	Rankable with on-page SEO alone. No backlinks needed.
20–40	Easy	A few quality backlinks needed. Good target for newer sites.
40–60	Moderate	Solid domain authority + 20+ referring domains required.
60–80	Hard	High DA, strong link profile, and exceptional content needed.
80–100	Very Hard	Dominated by brands like Wikipedia, Forbes, or major publishers.
