    All SEO difficulty keyword scores are flawed. From the perspective of a software vendor, a great formula for keyword difficulty is relatively easy. But they are incredibly hard to implement in an efficient and cost effective way. That’s why everyone is cutting corners, relying on flawed proxies like search volume, etc.

    You should always trust what you see in the SERPs over whatever score a tool is giving you.
