SemRush KD vs Ubersuggest KD

[Rollfic]

For a long-tail keyword, semrush says keyword difficulty is 84.91% but Ubersuggest says only 20.

Which one to rely on? I dont have Ahrefs.

Also, can I use a trademarked name like naruto in a wordpress url, naruto.wordpress.com ?

KD means keyword difficulty, in that case, every tool has a separate kd measuring algorithm. Try to check manually. Then you are looking for a tools recommendation then semrush would be a better choice.
The second answer is, you shouldn't use a trademarked name as you told, try to choose a unique domain that can be brandable.

KD is overrated, don't follow it, analyze manually the first 10 results/sites at least on that specific region of Google.

this. KD numbers are rarely accurate.

If you have a good legal team or are using fake details as a churn and burn

Neither.

These scores are ridiculous Always has been.

Nothing like a manual check.

That makes sense otherwise there won't be such a huge difference in numbers. Ty.

I knew we couldn't use in dedicated domains but thought can be used in blogspot or wordpress .com and not .org but I guess I was wrong.

You've already mentioned it's Trademarked though.

What does ahrefs say? Try it and then test manually too

I saw a report with an experiment with all the major SEO tools, Ubersuggest KD is very off! Do not use it as a marker to choose your keywords. Semrush on the other came out on top as the more accurate of all of them. So i would say Semrush is better for KD.

Tried Hoth and Semrush. Both gave the same KD.

You get different results on different tools. Better to check keyword difficulty manually.

How to manually analyze KW difficulty? I checked the keyword with quotationS and there are 234000 results. The first 10 results are Wikipedia, 4-5 YT videos, amazon store of the product, the product's official store.

What to do?

What to do?

You have to check top 3-5 results manually. On-page & off-page

On-page
page type
keyword placements
word count
interlinking

Off-page
types of links
number of links
quality of links


And then ask yourself...

Am I able to mimic this (and make it slightly better)?

KD is nothing but keyword difficulty. Try to use SEMrush to check KD.

For a long-tail keyword, semrush says keyword difficulty is 84.91% but Ubersuggest says only 20.

Both tools have different ways to calculate, just choose which one most you prefer, or you can just play by compared each other by searching the keywords on google, and find which one more accurate.

 

[tolg]

Manual search is much more reliable. You can use metrics from Moz, Majestic and Ahrefs to speed up this process.

 

[El Flaco]

KD is a very bad metric on Ubersuggest.
Anyway it is much better to check the first page and see by yourself the competition.

 

[John-S]

Use Semrush to check KD.

No idea about these tools.

Always, I am working on Ahrefs and the Manual checking process.
Sometimes, I do the KGR formula to find GEM keywords.
