UNDERSTAND THE METRICS
Organic keyword difficulty is not PPC competition
Keyword difficulty describes estimated organic ranking competition. PPC competition measures advertiser activity; they are different metrics. A low difficulty score is not a guarantee of ranking. Search intent, content usefulness, and the existing results also matter.
