How does keyword research work?

Keyword research identifies the search terms people use to find products, services, or information online. RanksPro analyzes search volume, keyword difficulty, CPC, competition level, and search intent for any keyword so you can target the best opportunities.

What is keyword difficulty?

Keyword difficulty is a score from 0–100 that indicates how hard it would be to rank on the first page of Google for a given keyword. A score of 0–30 is easy, 31–60 is medium, and above 60 is hard. RanksPro shows this for every keyword.

What is search intent?

Search intent is the reason behind a user's search query — whether they want information (informational), are looking for a specific site (navigational), are comparing options (commercial), or are ready to buy (transactional). RanksPro classifies intent for every keyword.

How many keywords are in RanksPro's database?

RanksPro's keyword database contains over 500 million keywords across 150+ countries. You can research keywords in any language and location to find the best opportunities for your market.

Can I download my keyword research data?

Yes. You can create and manage multiple keyword lists in RanksPro and download them as CSV files. This makes it easy to share data with your team, import into other tools, or use in content planning spreadsheets.
