There are several important terms that must be understood in this picture...

✳ Number of searches for each word or Volume : This is the number of times users search for this word per month within the country that you previously specified.

✳ Difficulty appearing in the keyword or KD% This is the difficulty rate for which the first results for this keyword come out on a scale of 1 to 100. The lower the number, the easier the competition.

✅ How do you find keywords that are easy to compete with?

The first step: using the KD% indicator or Keyword Difficulty

Click on the KD% button at the top left of the screen and the tool will show keyword difficulty indicators, which start from 0%, the easiest of all, and reach 100%, the most difficult of all.

✳ From 0% to 14% Easiest of all: You can compete for these words and appear in the first results on any new site within a period ranging from 7 to 14 days.

✳ From 15% to 29% Easy words too. You can compete for these words and appear in the first results on any medium strength site within a period ranging from 30 to 45 days.

✳ From 30% to 49% : Words of medium difficulty. You can compete for these words and appear in the first results on any medium or strong site within a period ranging from 30 to 60 days.

✳ From 50% to 69% Difficult words to compete with: You can compete for these words if your site is really strong and a period of no less than 6 to 9 months has passed since its creation.

As for the rest of the options, they are for major sites that have been established for more than a year, have a very large number of backlinks, and are already at the top of the first results for most of the important keywords in their field.

This is why it is not recommended to target words that fall between 70% and 100% indicators if your site is new or of average strength because it will be difficult for you to achieve any significant results.

---

The second step: using the number of pages or results indicator

⦿ Click on the Advanced Filters button
⦿ After that, write the number 1 in the first box and the number 10,000 in the second box.
⦿ Click Apply to get the results

After that, the tool will suggest to you all the keywords for which there are fewer than 10 pages competing, as any word with fewer than 10 pages of competitors is considered easy to compete with, and you can appear in its first results within a very short period.

As you can see in the previous image, the tool suggested two words, the number of pages competing for them does not exceed 14 pages, and these words, even if the number of searches for them is low, you can target them on your new site and appear in the first results within a period not exceeding XNUMX days, as we explained above.

---

The third step: Using the number of words of the keyword sentence or Word Count

This option allows you to specify the number of words in the keyword phrase that you want to target. Of course, the larger the number of words, the easier this keyword phrase becomes in terms of competition.

This is why we always recommend that you try searching for “keyword phrases” consisting of 4 words or more, as shown in the previous image.

If there are results consisting of 4 or more words, you will be able to compete for them easily, given that they are Very Long Tail Keywords and are considered relatively easier than Short Tail Keywords.

As you can see in the previous image, we obtained 419 keyword phrases consisting of 4 or more words. We can filter them further and determine the number of competing pages and the percentage of word difficulty to get words with almost no competition, but they are very targeted and may help you get visitors and customers to your site.

---

Practical example

When searching for the word (study), we find the following:-

☑ 133,884 keywords
☑ 748,390 average number of searches
☑ 19% average keyword difficulty

But after applying the options explained above, we find the following:

✅405 keywords
✅102,760 average number of searches
✅ 18% average keyword difficulty

It is best that the number of pages competing for all of these words does not exceed 10 pages, and their difficulty does not exceed 29%, so the chances of you coming in first in these words are very strong.

Some may wonder what is special about this method?

The truth is that this method is very useful for new and medium-sized sites, as it helps you know the most important words in the field in which your site is active without wasting a long time searching.

If 5 sites in your field share specific keywords, this means that these words are the most important in your field to the point that there are 5 different sites they are actually targeting!

As you can see in the previous image, there are 2,9 million keywords shared by the five previously mentioned sites. Of course, you will not find this large number in your site’s domain because these sites are among the largest sites in the world.

But the purpose of this image is to understand the idea.

You can also add your site to the list of sites in the comparison so that you can discover the words that your site does not target but that all your competitors target.

As shown in the previous image, there are 668 thousand words that are not targeted by Pinterest, but are targeted by all of its competitors. Therefore, if you put yourself in Pinterest’s place, this is 668 thousand new opportunities!

But do you know what's better than this?

You can filter these results in the same way that we explained in the Keyword Magic Tool to get words with easy competition so you can start getting targeted visits quickly!

When we apply the qualifications for the difficulty of the keyword and the number of results competing for it in search engines, we find that we have about 128 thousand words that can be targeted very easily!

Is there anything more wonderful than this!

The first secret: The best source for keywords is your website

The best source for finding keywords of interest to your audience is your site data, specifically Google Search Console data.

By knowing these words that your target audience has recently searched for, you will be able to better meet their needs within your old site pages by refining and adding to the content.

The second secret: Keywords are not only for content!

Some sites wish to achieve only half of this number of visits through content, but they cannot. Improving your site’s images and adding the keywords you target in the content, such as Alt Text, can push your site to appear in advanced results and obtain thousands of targeted visits.

Third secret: Every keyword has a synonym. Use it

Google prefers sites that use more synonyms in the content of their pages. This is because Google uses algorithms that depend on understanding the searcher’s intent and not just matching the search process he performed with pages that target the same keyword, as shown in the previous example...

When searching for a word Fast diet

The first result preferred by Google was an article entitled “Fast diet,” which is a direct synonym for the word diet, and this is due to Google’s replacement engine.” Substitution Engine “He who replaces keywords that he cannot understand with words that are synonymous with them.
