# Analyze keywords

Evaluate a specific set of keywords with detailed search volume, difficulty, CPC, and intent data to prioritize your SEO strategy.

## How Analyze keywords works

The Analyze keywords mode lets you paste or enter a list of specific keywords to get detailed metrics for each one. Use this when you already have keywords in mind and want to evaluate their potential before creating content or setting up tracking.

## Running an analysis

1. Select **Analyze keywords** from the research mode tabs.
2. Enter one or more keywords, each on a separate line.
3. Set your target location and language.
4. Click **Analyze**.

The system queries search data providers and returns detailed metrics for each keyword.

## What you get

For each keyword, you will see search volume, keyword difficulty, CPC, search intent classification, KO Score, and Opportunity Score. You can sort the results by any column to prioritize your targets.

## When to use Analyze vs. Discover

* Use **Discover** when you need fresh keyword ideas around a topic.
* Use **Analyze** when you have a specific list and need data to make decisions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.rankability.com/researcher/analyze-keywords.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
