Frequently asked questions

What is a good keyword difficulty score?

Lower is easier. As a rough guide, scores under 30 are realistic targets for newer or low-authority sites, while 60+ usually needs strong backlinks and established topical authority.

Should I only target low-difficulty keywords?

Start there to build momentum, but balance difficulty against volume and trend. A rising low-difficulty keyword is often a better bet than a flat, high-volume one.
