A quick way to estimate keyword potential is to look at keyword difficulty vs
search volume. Keywords that have very strong competitors but bring little
traffic are unlikely to be worth your effort.
For each keyword, the free SERP checker finds if there is a correlation between
different ranking factors and the pages' actual position in search. Sometimes
it's more important to compete on backlinks, while other times you might have
better luck optimizing for user experience. This feature removes the guesswork
and tells you the best area to focus on.
We calculate the difficulty rating based on the backlink profile of a
competitor. In particular, we look at the number of links to a page and a domain
as well as the number of linking domains. This information is available for each
of the top 50 search results.
For each competitor, we also look at the overall presence in search. We track
the number of keywords that the domains rank for as well as the amount of
traffic they are likely to attract through their positions in search. This
information is also available for each of the top 50 search results.
User experience is a costly thing to optimize. The good news is that you don't
need a perfect score, you just have to be slightly better than your competitors
in SERP. And with our data, you'll know exactly what the benchmark is.

See SERP fluctuation for the keyword and for the project
When search engines update their ranking algorithms, for many websites positions and rich feature arrangements
may change. These ranking changes create fluctuations in search results, based on which the SERP checker
displays a Fluctuation Graph — the proprietary metric to help you understand search engine trends that
matter for your business niche.
The graph depicts recent and historical changes in the top 30 search results in each of your target search
engines, for any individual keyword separately or for all your keywords together. Red spikes on your graph
indicate that the real-time SERP has changed significantly on that day, implying a possible algorithm
change.
