The difficulty of ranking for a keyword.How easy or difficult is it to reach the Top 10 in Google search results with it?

This indicator is based on factors such as:

  • The authority of the domains that already occupy the Top 10.You can read here about the importance of backlinks in the age of AI.

  • The quality and extent of the content that currently exists on the internet.

  • The number of links (backlinks) that point to those pages.

A low difficulty (between 0-20) indicates that there are opportunities to position oneself easily, while a high difficulty (=> 60) suggests that it will be necessary to invest more in technical optimization, more content, and a backlink strategy.
