Four ways in.
Check a list of keywords, grow a few seeds into new ideas, see what any site already ranks for, or pull the keywords out of a page. Add your website and every keyword can get a time-to-rank estimate too.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. About a minute.
- 1
Add up to 25 keywords
Or start from seeds, a competitor’s site, or a page.
- 2
Pick the market
Country and language. A panel spells out exactly what the run will do before you spend anything.
- 3
Pick your winners
One row per keyword: volume, difficulty, cost per click and intent (learn, compare or buy).
Included on every plan, and free to try for 7 days.
IF YOU’VE EVER ASKED
One run answers these.
- “Which keywords should I target?”
- “How hard is it to rank for this keyword?”
- “How many people search for this?”
- “What keywords does my competitor rank for?”

What should the best keyword research tool for SEO show you?
Four numbers per keyword: how many people search it, how hard page one is, what advertisers pay per click and why people search. Volume alone sends you after keywords you cannot win.
Most people start with the biggest number in the list. That is usually the wrong choice for a small or new site, because the highest-volume terms tend to have the hardest page one. A useful keyword difficulty checker sits right beside the volume, so you can trade a little traffic for a real chance of ranking.
Keyword Analysis puts all four signals on one row. Difficulty is colour-coded (green means within reach), CPC hints at how much a visitor is worth to a business, and intent tells you whether the searcher wants to learn, compare or buy. In the official tutorial's sample (fictional brand Brightpath), “work management” came out at 720 searches a month with difficulty 21, the easiest win in the list. If any of these terms are new to you, our glossary explains search volume and search intent in a sentence each.
| Signal | What it answers | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | How many people search this each month? | Is it worth a page at all? |
| Difficulty | How hard is page one? | Can my site win it this year? |
| CPC | What do advertisers pay per click? | Is this searcher likely to buy? |
| Intent | Learn, compare or buy? | Should this be a guide, a comparison or a product page? |
How do I find low-competition keywords my small website can rank for?
Start from seeds, sort by difficulty, and keep the green rows with clear intent. Then check how long each one would take for your own domain before you write anything.
Low-competition keywords are rarely the head terms. They are the longer, more specific phrases real buyers type: a service plus a city, a product plus a use, a problem phrased as a question. Use the grow seeds into new ideas mode with two or three words that describe what you sell, and the tool expands them into related searches with the same four signals.
Next, add your website so each keyword gets a time-to-rank estimate. For a deeper forecast, run Time to Rank, which weighs your site's authority against the keyword's difficulty. In the tutorial sample, the same “work management” keyword was forecast to reach page one in 2 to 3 months. Our guide on how to do keyword research walks through the whole method.
- Pick keywords with green difficulty and a volume that would matter to your business.
- Prefer buy or compare intent for money pages, learn intent for guides.
- Group close variants onto one page instead of writing a page for each.
- Check where you rank today with Rank Checker before you choose.
Looking for a Google Keyword Planner alternative with keyword difficulty?
Google Keyword Planner is built for advertisers: its Competition column measures how many advertisers bid on a keyword, not how hard it is to rank organically. Keyword Analysis adds an organic difficulty score next to volume and CPC.
Keyword Planner is free and useful for ad budgets, but its competition figure is about paid ads. That is why so many people searching for a keyword research tool google offers end up needing a second tool for SEO difficulty.
Keyword Analysis covers both views in one table: CPC for buyer value, difficulty for organic ranking. When the list grows into a plan, Keyword Strategy Builder groups everything a site ranks for into topics and pillar pages, and Keyword Mapping assigns each keyword to the page that should rank for it.
