What each number actually means.
Every metric in the results, its scale, and how to act on it — so you read the table like an SEO, not a tourist.
| Metric | Scale | Where it comes from | How to read it | Use it to |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Search volume | Searches / month | Live keyword data for your chosen country | An average, not a promise — seasonal terms swing far above and below it. | Size the opportunity before you invest in a page. |
| Difficulty | 0–100 | Strength of the pages currently ranking | Under 30 is realistic for new sites; over 60 usually needs authority and links. | Pick battles you can win this quarter. |
| Intent | Info · Commercial · Buy · Brand · Local | Classified from what already ranks | The intent tells you what format Google rewards — guide, comparison or product page. | Match the page type before writing a word. |
| CPC | USD per click | Google Ads bidding data | A high CPC means advertisers make money on this term — commercial value, even for organic. | Prioritize keywords that are worth ranking for. |
| 12-month trend | Monthly volumes | Historical database volumes | Rising lines beat flat averages; a December spike tells you when to publish. | Time your content calendar to demand. |
All metrics come from live keyword data. When no data is available for a term, we show "—" rather than inventing a number.

Keyword research, answered.
Is this keyword research tool really free?
Yes
Yes. You get 3 searches a day without an account — each returns the seed overview plus 30+ keyword ideas with every metric visible, and CSV export included. Signing in with a free seotools.pro account raises the cap; paid plans remove it.
What does the difficulty score mean?
A 0–100 estimate
It estimates, from 0 to 100, how hard it is to rank on page one based on the strength of the pages currently ranking. Under 30 is generally winnable for newer sites; over 60 usually demands strong authority and links. It's an estimate to guide prioritization, not a guarantee.
How do I choose which keywords to target first?
Low difficulty, real volume
Sort by difficulty ascending and keep keywords with meaningful volume — that's your shortlist of winnable terms. Then check intent so each page matches what searchers expect, and use the trend line to schedule seasonal topics.
The metrics other free tools hide behind paywalls.
Most free keyword tools show you suggestions and lock the numbers. These three ship free here, on every keyword.
Difficulty on a 0–100 dial
Know whether a keyword is winnable before you spend a week writing for it.
12-month trend lines
Spot rising topics and seasonal spikes instead of trusting a flat average.
Volume you can compare
Exact average volumes per country database — not bucketed ranges.
