Keyword Difficulty — Definition & Meaning
What is Keyword Difficulty?
Keyword difficulty is a 0-100 score estimating how hard it will be to rank in Google's top 10 for a given query. It blends the authority of the sites already ranking, backlink strength, on-page depth, and SERP-feature crowding into a single number.
