What is Keyword Difficulty (KD)?

Keyword difficulty essentially means how much competition there is for that particular keyword. It measures how difficult it is for you to rank for that keyword. The higher the competition, the higher the keyword difficulty, and the more difficult it is to rank for that keyword.
 
Keyword difficulty (also known as keyword competition) is one of the most important metrics you should consider when looking for keywords. The higher is the keyword difficulty, the harder it is to rank on the 1st SERP due to a high competition of the ranking websites.
