By setting a maximum keyword difficulty score and a minimum search volume, you can find keywords that have little competition, making them potentially great targets that will likely be easier to rank for on Google.

For example, you can use this filter to find and optimize your content for “featured snippets.”

The last filter shows you how to find bottom of the funnel keywords. This will help you find content ideas that have a higher probability of converting new visitors into customers.
You can use these filters in any of the reports shown in the video.
