LowFruits' SERP Difficulty (SD)<\/strong> score streamlines this process by providing an accessible and efficient way to assess keyword competition. The SERP Difficulty score (SD)<\/strong> makes it easier and faster to discover which keywords to go after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

How is the SD calculated?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) the number of low-authority websites (below 20)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) the ranking position of these weak websites<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iii) whether websites target the query (query\/title matches)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(iv) search volumes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(v) the number and positions of forums<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(vi) the lowest Domain Authority value,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

among others, are considered in calculating this score.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note: The SD score takes into account the Google Helpful Content Update in September 2023 (forums are not as easily beatable as before).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To simplify the process, there are just three score levels<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1: Easy keywords – low-hanging fruit keywords<\/strong> you want to target first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2: Medium difficulty – more challenging than easy keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3: High difficulty – challenging to rank without link-building efforts or a high DA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why get on a subscription?<\/strong> Subscribing saves credits because it grants you access to the number of weak websites and difficulty scores for keywords already analyzed in our tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find low-competition keywords, prioritize analysis and select keywords with a history of low competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, we have millions of pre-calculated scores. Note: A majority of these pre-calculated scores, about 85%, are for the US English Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Use the SD filter to sort through the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Click on “Columns” and then select “# Weak Websites” to view the number of weak websites in your list of keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hovering over the data in your list or on the SD score will display the date of its last update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's important to note that using credit is required to access the SERP data and to compute the latest SERP difficulty score.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SERP data is also necessary for SERP clustering and word counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
