The problem it solves

Researching how hard a keyword is to rank for means jumping into a separate SEO tool for every single term. Doing that one keyword at a time makes it hard to build out a full content plan efficiently.

Who it fits

SEO teams and content planners choosing which keywords to target.

How it works

  1. You submit a keyword and target country through a form
  2. The system requests the keyword's difficulty score and current search results
  3. The difficulty score is logged to a Google Sheets tab
  4. The search results for that keyword are logged to a second Google Sheets tab
What you get

Keyword scores logged for every search

You get a spreadsheet showing the difficulty score and current rankings for any keyword you want to target.

What you get

A Google Sheets record of keyword difficulty scores and current search rankings.

What you need

A Difficulty Checker API subscription on RapidAPI and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
