Is a higher or lower score better in keyword ranking
-
I know this is a weird question, I think I have confused myself with different keyword tools. So if you get a score of 10 for your keyword, should you aim to be closer to 1 or 50?
-
You should aim to be closer to 1, rather than 50.
Why? Because the numbers indicate the ranking or placement of your page on the search results page(s) (SERP). Number 1 indicates a page on top of the search results page (at least for the organic search).

Gap between Keyword Explorer and SEPR Analysis
Hello everyone, I'm having hard time to understand something, while i'm doing a competitor analysis. I was looking at the report coming from the Keyword explorer tool, looking for one of my competitors subdomain. That's showing some keywords, but i found those keyword weird, regarding my market structure. I type a keyword i'm interested with on Google, and i found that that finally, this competitor is raking #1, but keyword explorer was not showing this particular keyword on the keyword. The SERP analysis coming from Moz is also good. Is someone already experience that issue ? Thanks

Why there is a big gap between MOZ and Google Analytics Keyword Ranking for my website?
Hello everyone, I've just started a SEO project and I'm very new in the field. Well, I tried to select the most interesting Keywords for my website. When I checked out what the current ranking for each one was, I noticed that between Google and MOZ, figures are totally different. For example, for the word "channel manager": on Google Analytics: #2 on MOZ: not in the top 50 I know that for Google Analytics, these numbers are average (12 months). But it cannot explain such a huge gap. Do you have an explanation for that? And also does that mean that I can't trust Google (really?). Because I also did some analysis with Google figures: Monthly searches, Competition... Thanks for you help! Happy Christmas, Floriane.

Keyword Difficulty Score Meter: how to interpret levels
I'm hoping to find what percentages change the levels for the difficulty score meter in the keyword difficulty tool. For example, when does a blue -- non-competitive -- move into the green level, and so forth. Also, I can't find the description (names?) of all the levels (highly competitive, non-competitive, etc). Thanks for your help.

Keyword Difficulty and SERP Analysis Full report not working?
It's been a few days now that I am having difficulties getting a Full Report on certain keywords in the "Keyword Difficulty" tool. It's been stuck on "pending..." for over 12 hours. I also noticed that some keywords are returning zero exact volume when I know 100% that it's returning 5K+ in GKP. Anyone else having the same issues?
