Keyword research: volume, Google results and who ranks
Type a topic. You get every keyword around it with its monthly search volume. One click then shows, for each keyword, the number of results Google announces and who holds page one: forums, social networks, small sites, big brands or shops. A page held by forums and small sites is a page you can win.
How to read the table
Volume: average monthly Google searches (Google Ads data).
Google results: the total Google announces for the search. When Google does not show a total, we say so instead of printing a wrong number.
Difficulty: our own score from 0 to 100, free, computed from page one. Each of the ten results weighs its Common Crawl PageRank, with the real traffic as a floor (a big site counts at least 60, a small one at most 35). A forum, a social network or a local directory weighs less: it is easier to pass. The three weakest results count extra: one weak site on page one is a way in. Up to 25 easy, 26 to 40 within reach, 41 to 55 contested, above hard.
Page one: the first ten results sorted by type. 💬 forum or Q&A, 📱 social network or video platform, 🏢 big site, 🌐 mid-size site, ✍️ small site, 🛒 shop, 📍 local directory. Size is real traffic in the chosen country, from Google’s Chrome ranking (CrUX): big = top 10,000 sites of the country, mid-size = top 100,000, small = beyond or unranked. A subdomain on a hosting platform (webflow.io, blogspot…) counts as its own small site.
Blocks: what else Google shows on the page. 🎬 video box, 📍 map pack, 🛒 shopping, ✨ AI overview, ❓ related questions, 💬 discussions and forums.
Why the number of results matters less than who ranks. Millions of results only says that many pages mention the words. What decides whether you can get in is the first page: when forums, social posts and small blogs hold it, Google lacks a solid answer and a good dedicated page can take the spot.
Good to know
The tool is free and limited to 5 new topics and 400 first-page checks per day and per visitor. A topic searched in the last 30 days, or a Google page read in the last year, is free and does not count.
Page one is read from a neutral computer in the capital of the chosen country, without history or personal settings.
