Is there a way to view difficulty for related keyword suggestions?
-
I'd really like to view the difficulty/organic CTR/priority of suggested related keywords without having to click on each individually - is there a way to do this?

Some people believe that the most reliable way to determine keyword difficulty is to visit the SERPs and see who holds top positions and then you will know "who you must defeat".
If you want something a bit more reliable, then click into the top-ranking pages, examine them and then know "what you must defeat".
The combination of who and what is very informative.
Who and what have informed in advance of battles for thousands of years over all types of terrain.
I don't use keyword difficulty scores. I want the information above. Then, I match that against my skills and the resources required to become competitive.
Great mistakes are made when skillful people allow keyword scores to scare them away from competition and when low keyword scores lure less skillful people into battles above their abilities.

This must be a pretty common use case - is there a way you recommend I work around it?

Hey,
Thanks for contacting us!
Unfortunately there is no way to do this at the moment (Although a keyword API is on our roadmap, and we'd love to hear your feedback about it)
We have a short survey available here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YZ58JVH
I hope this helps but feel free to let me know if there's anything else I can assist with!

While it's easy to import data from Google Search Console, I have troubles in importing data from Mozzarellas tools. I thought about uploading a CSV file with the ranking to a Google Sheet Document, but I cannot find a way to do this at regular intervals with manual intervention.0 -

Hey guys, I'm in the process of completing some keyword research using Keyword Explorer but every time I complete a search I'm told that explorer is unable to perform the search at this time and that I should refresh the page, or search with a new query.

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.
