Keyword difficulty and time to rank

[NickW816]

EGOL is correct above, keep in mind there are a ton of other factors and your competition online (those ranking highly currently) are more than likely not standing still in an SEO sense (so it is a moving target usually).

The lower the competition, the "easier" and supposed "less time" it will take to rank on page 1 of Google is a good rule of thumb. It is also incredibly important to do competitive research on those in the top 3 positions on page 1 to see how long their content is, the quality of it, and the number of quality links it has pointing to it.

It means in some way that big companies with strong PA and DA have an advantage on high volume keyword ?

Length of content does it mean that you need long content to compete ? or can you compete with better content even though it isn't long ?

Thank you,

My question:

When you have written good content and have a good internal linking structure, what else can you do to rank on high competition keywords (those that have a difficulty of around 50 for example). Just be patient and wait or is there anything else that can be done ?

Thank you,

Hi seoanalytics,

In that situation I would try and share the content on social media and in slack communities as much as possible to get the word out. By doing so you increase direct traffic (an important ranking factor) and increase the chances of someone linking to the content externally.

Hi Espres SEO,

Thank you for the your reply.

Can you send me a link that say that traffic is an important ranking factor, I never heard about that.

Thank you,

Yes, there is a direct correlation between the keyword difficulty and the time it takes to rank for it. There is also a concept/formula that can predict how difficult it would be to rank for a particular keyword. It is called Keyword Golden Ratio (KGR) and is developed by Doug Cunnington. KGR is calculated by dividing the number of allintitle Google results for a specific keyword by its search volume. If the KGR for a keyword is less than 0.25, it's a low-competitive keyword that you can rank for easily and quickly. Please note that 0.25 is just a rule of thumb and you can select any threshold you think is right for you.

There is also a nifty tool built for this, called Allintitle Bulk Search tool that calculates the KGR score for many keywords at once: https://allintitle.co
Hope this helps.

There is no any Specific but you can use my personal formula!

If Allintitle: = Less then 50 then can rank in 1 month

Allinurl: = Less then 50 then can rank in 1 month

If greater then it then you can increase days according to this!

Thanks
