What are competitor keywords?
Competitor keywords are the search terms your rivals already rank for in Google. They are one of the fastest routes to a winning SEO strategy: if a competitor is getting traffic from a keyword, you have proof that the demand is real and that ranking for it is possible in your niche.
By studying the keywords a competitor targets, you can find content gaps on your own site, uncover topics you have not covered yet, and prioritise the terms most likely to bring in customers. This is the foundation of competitor keyword research and keyword gap analysis.
What this free competitor keyword tool shows you
For every domain you check, the tool returns the top keywords it ranks for, ordered by the estimated traffic each one drives. Every row includes the metrics you need to judge the opportunity:

Search volume

Keyword difficulty

Estimated traffic and intent
