Hi, I'm using Ahrefs, I can see the keyword difficulty is 0 on Ahrefs, But It's hard to rank on google and Ahrefs always provide me currently using keywords, It never provides creative keywords
for example If I'm searching "What is the cheapest car to lease?" Ahrefs provide a lot of company names.
 
These tools keyword difficulty cant be trusted if you website is new or doesnt have good amount of keywords ranking already.
Better to use them for initial phase, then head out and do the research manually also.
 
Their data is skewed. The only true kw difficulty data is in adwords.

I'm really confused, weeks of searching for the right keywords for different niches and end up with various results from many tools which they're all against each other
don't know what's really works nowadays to get keywords, any hints ?

Do you have a website yet? There are many keyword research guide on BHW but it would never register in your brain if you dont have a website and try to rank yourself.

Like I said, the only tool with access to google's kw data is adwords. All others are based on their own limited crawling and estimates.
 
Ahref's keyword difficulty is not accurate. Try analyzing manually or use any other tools like keyword revealer or kwfinder. I prefer keyword revealer.
 
Try using your competitor site to obtain a initial set of keywords and from then on you can analyse a little more to start with

this is an awesome way to get started with ahrefs. if youre new to keyword research i would suggest research the keyword golden ratio. its not perfect by any means but its a great way to start getting traffic using low competition keywords
 
No tools are perfect. But they are good.
I always suggest starting competition manually based on the first page competitors.
Don't rely on software when you want to do measure competition.
 
The difficulty of the Ahref keyword is not accurate. Try analysis manually or use other tools such as the keyword disclosure or kwfinder. I prefer keyword revealing.
 
You need to understand a bit about what makes a KW difficult or easy, and then understand how ahrefs calculates kw diff and volume. Its not skewed, it might just not be what you would expect it to be if you didnt read the definition of what it represents.
