Why this term matters
Knowing this term means you can read your audit report — and any other SEO reporting you're handed — without needing a translator.
Where it shows up
You'll typically see this term used when we're explaining findings from the relevant pillar of your audit report.
In practice
A keyword difficulty score alone can be misleading — a “low difficulty” keyword with a dominant competitor in every top-10 slot can still be hard to rank for in practice.
Practical tip
Use keyword difficulty as a starting signal, not a final answer — always sense-check against who's actually ranking.
