Competitor Keywords: see every keyword any domain ranks for on Google

Competitor Keywords shows you every Google keyword a competitor ranks for. Enter one or many domains (or a single page URL) and get each ranking keyword with its position, ranking URL, monthly search volume, CPC, keyword difficulty, search intent, estimated traffic and position change. It works in 90+ countries and languages, and you don't need an SEO suite subscription.

• 🕵️ Steal your competitors' best keywords: sort by search volume, traffic or position and filter to page 1 only.
• 📊 Full SEO metrics in one row: volume, KD, CPC, intent, traffic estimate, SERP features and whether the ranking is new, up or down.
• 🌍 Any market: 90+ countries, every main language, domains, subdomains or single pages.
• 💸 Pay per keyword: $2 per 1,000 keywords plus a small fee per domain lookup. No monthly plan.

Workflow: export a competitor's keywords here, check volume, CPC and 12-month trends in bulk with Keyword Search Volume ($4 per 1,000 keywords), then filter easy wins with Bulk Keyword Difficulty Checker.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? From a licensed SEO database that tracks Google results for hundreds of millions of keywords, refreshed regularly. serp_checked_at shows when each result was last checked.

Why is estimated_traffic low for a high-volume keyword? Traffic depends on position. A keyword with 1M searches at position 14 sends far fewer clicks than one at position 1.

Can I check a single page instead of a whole domain? Yes. Paste the full URL (e.g. https://example.com/blog/post).

Does it include paid (Google Ads) keywords? Set Result types to Organic + paid.
