# Analyze Keyword Competition

Not all keywords are created equal when it comes to ranking difficulty. A keyword with 10,000 monthly searches is worthless if the top 10 results are all from sites with domain authority above 80. Understanding competition levels before investing in content creation saves time and money.

ToolRouter's analyze_keyword skill evaluates the competitive landscape for any keyword by examining the current top-ranking pages, their domain authority, backlink profiles, content depth, and on-page optimization. It returns a difficulty score along with specific insights about what it would take to rank.

This analysis is essential before committing resources to any content piece. By checking competition first, you can prioritize keywords where you have a realistic chance of reaching page one, allocate your link-building budget to the keywords that need it most, and avoid wasting months of effort on terms you cannot win.
