Analyze keywords
Evaluate a specific set of keywords with detailed search volume, difficulty, CPC, and intent data to prioritize your SEO strategy.
Evaluate a specific set of keywords with detailed search volume, difficulty, CPC, and intent data to prioritize your SEO strategy.
Use Analyze when you already have a bounded keyword set from a client, campaign, export, or brainstorm. Select the correct client and target country before starting. Clean obvious duplicates and confirm the displayed per-keyword credit estimate; each submitted keyword can add to the total.
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
Select Analyze keywords from the research mode tabs.
Enter one or more keywords, each on a separate line.
Set your target location and language.
Click Analyze.
The system queries search data providers and returns detailed metrics for each keyword.
You can separate keywords with commas or new lines, paste a list, or use the available upload control. Rankability shows the recognized keyword count before the run. If that count is higher than expected, correct the input before approval.
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.
Use these metrics comparatively rather than as promises. Search volume, CPC, and difficulty are provider estimates for the selected market. Opportunity and KO scores help prioritize within Rankability, but they do not guarantee traffic or rankings. Review the actual query, intent, and fit for the client before saving it.
Review and save the result
Filter or exclude terms that do not match the client or page goal.
Sort by the metric relevant to your decision, then inspect the full row instead of selecting on one score alone.
Select qualified keywords and choose Save to list.
Create a descriptive list or add them to an existing one.
Continue to content creation or tracking only after verifying location and intent.
The results view can also expose recent analyses and saved-keyword status. Hiding already saved keywords changes the view, not the underlying analysis.
Common issues
Analyze is disabled — Enter at least one valid keyword and correct any validation error.
The keyword count is wrong — Remove accidental commas, blank fragments, or duplicated pasted blocks before running.
Metrics are unavailable — Very new, narrow, or low-volume terms may have limited provider data. Keep the keyword only when it is strategically relevant.
The market is wrong — Start a new analysis with the correct country; do not reinterpret localized metrics as another market.
The charge is unexpected — Compare the recognized count with the estimate and credit costs reference.
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.
