What is Keyword Difficulty?

Keyword Difficulty (KD) is an SEO metric that estimates how hard it would be to rank on the first page of Google for a specific keyword. The score is typically on a scale of 0 to 100. A lower score suggests less competition and an easier path to ranking, making it an attractive target for content creation, especially for newer websites. A higher score indicates that the keyword is highly competitive, dominated by websites with strong authority and backlinks, and would require significant SEO effort to rank for.
