What metrics are included for each keyword?
We provide keyword difficulty score, average backlinks of top 10 results, average domain authority, ranking feasibility, SERP difficulty distribution, and an AI-generated strategic insight.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes! We offer a 14-day free trial with full access to all features including unlimited keyword difficulty checks, competitor comparisons, and detailed reports. No credit card required to start.
