What you get
Difficulty for every keyword, side by side
Paste a list, pick a country, hit submit. We hand back a sortable table with the same KD scores Ahrefs and Semrush show.
Score
A relative score from "very easy" to "very hard." Spot the keywords worth chasing vs. the ones that need three years of links.
Localization
KD for "plumber" in the US is wildly different than the UK. Pick the country that matches your audience.
Bulk
No more pasting one keyword at a time into a paywall. Drop a list, get the whole table back.
Visualization
Green for easy, amber for moderate, red for hard. Find the low-hanging fruit at a glance.
One-shot lookup, or weekly tracking?
Free tools give you a snapshot. transformSEO Studio tracks rankings + difficulty weekly, alerts you on movement, and your AI assistant can pull the data directly through MCP.
