What These Keyword Metrics Mean
Search volume is the average monthly searches for the keyword. Keyword difficulty (0–100) estimates how hard it is to rank on page one. CPC is the average cost advertisers pay per click — a proxy for commercial value. Competition reflects how many advertisers bid on it.
How to Use Keyword Research
Look for keywords with meaningful search volume, difficulty you can realistically compete for, and clear intent. For local businesses, pair broad terms with location and “near me” variations, and build content around clusters of related keywords rather than chasing one term.
Keywords for Local & AI Search
The best keyword strategy now spans traditional search, local “near me” queries, and the questions people ask AI assistants. Use this data to find opportunities, then optimise for all three — see our local SEO and AEO services.
