SERP Analysis
Keyword competition: judge the actual ranking landscape
Keyword competition is best judged at the result-page level. A score can narrow the list, but the pages already ranking reveal what the query really demands.
Compare like with like
A small site may still compete when the result set rewards highly focused pages rather than broad brand authority. Look at page-level relevance as well as domain-level strength.
Use link metrics carefully
Backlinks and authority signals are useful comparative evidence, but they are not a complete model of ranking difficulty.
Look for realistic weaknesses
A promising SERP can contain outdated results, thin answers, mismatched formats or lower-authority pages that rank because they fit the query well.
