Understanding SEO Difficulty on Ubersuggest
The SEO Difficulty (SD) score on Ubersuggest ranges from 0 to 100 and is crucial in helping digital marketers and website owners gauge the competitiveness of keywords.
To calculate SEO difficulty, Ubersuggest considers:
- The Domain Score of each of the first ten pages ranking for that keyword
- Page Authority of each of the first ten pages ranking for that keyword
- How many backlinks does each of these pages get
- How in-depth and rich is their content
- Among many other factors
Recent Enhancements to SEO Difficulty
As of May 2023, Ubersuggest has introduced significant improvements to its SEO Difficulty score. Notably, the algorithm now incorporates Page Authority for enhanced accuracy. Additionally, a new feature allows users to refresh the SEO Difficulty of any keyword, providing them with more up-to-date metrics for their analysis.
The Power of Refreshing SEO Difficulty Score
The ability to refresh the SEO Difficulty score is a game-changer for users engaged in keyword analysis. This feature empowers users to make well-informed decisions by ensuring they have the latest data targeting keywords. The refresh feature is accessible across various Ubersuggest reports, including Keyword Ideas, Keyword Lists, and Rank Tracking.
