What is Keyword Competition

[Golden9]

Using the right keywords is one of the basic fundamentals of SEO. It's a term that's always thrown around.

When I started blogging, I used Semrush and one metric I used was keyword difficulty. Basically, the easier the keyword is to rank for, the less the competition you have to deal with. Infact, it may even be possible that no one has written anything about that keyword.

The higher the competition, the harder it will be to rank, but it also means that that's a very juicy keyword with a lot of search volume.

The whole concept of the keyword competition deals with the difficulty of ranking for a particular keyword in search engine results pages. The higher the keyword competition, the harder it will be for that keyword to rank in the search engine pages.
