Here\u2019s how you can evaluate KD using LowFruits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fruit Icons<\/strong>: The more fruit icons a keyword has, the easier it is likely to be to rank for. These icons help indicate the likelihood of success with a keyword based on its competitive landscape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weak Websites and UGC<\/strong>: Keywords with weak websites or user-generated content (UGC) among the top 3 search results are often easier targets. Use <strong>LowFruits<\/strong> filters to identify these opportunities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Top-Ranking Page Weaknesses<\/strong>: Examine weaknesses in the top-ranking pages and assess if you can offer a better on-site experience. This might include better content, a more engaging user experience, or more comprehensive coverage of the topic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Search Volume Considerations<\/strong>: Even if a keyword has many fruit icons, it may still take longer to rank if it has a high search volume (over 1,000 searches per month). Higher volume keywords tend to be more competitive, requiring additional time and effort to achieve strong rankings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>By combining these insights, you can strategically select keywords that maximize your chances of ranking well while balancing your effort and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tutorial Video<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Rank Even When Keyword Difficulty is High\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xuUVjTnkjTc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","docs_cat":[204],"class_list":["post-3846","documentation","type-documentation","status-publish","hentry","docs_cat-keyword-difficulty"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documentation\/3846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documentation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/documentation"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documentation\/3846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5811,"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documentation\/3846\/revisions\/5811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"docs_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/docs_cat?post=3846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
