Keyword Research Tool
Volume
Average monthly searches in the chosen country, from a keyword database.
Difficulty
A 0 to 100 estimate of how strong the pages ranking today are.
Intent and cost
Whether the search is informational, commercial, navigational or transactional, and the cost per click advertisers pay.
What to do with it
- Volume tells you the size of the prize; difficulty tells you the price.
- Low difficulty with commercial intent is where a new page can earn quickly.
- Group the terms by intent; one page can answer several of the same kind.
