Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears in your content compared to the total word count. While it's no longer a primary ranking factor, understanding your keyword usage helps you write naturally and avoid over-optimization.
What is Keyword Density?
Keyword density is calculated as: (Keyword Count / Total Words) × 100
For example, if your keyword appears 10 times in a 1,000-word article, your keyword density is 1%.
Recommended Density
Most SEO experts suggest keeping keyword density between 1-2% for your primary keyword. Higher than 3% may trigger over-optimization signals.
How to Use the Tool
Step 1: Paste Your Content
Copy and paste your article, blog post, or page content into the text area. The tool analyzes plain text—HTML tags are ignored.
Step 2: Enter Target Keyword (Optional)
Add your primary keyword to get a specific density calculation for that term. This helps you see if you're using it enough—or too much.
Step 3: Review Word Frequency
See which words appear most often in your content. Look for unintentional repetition or missed keyword opportunities.
Step 4: Check 2-Word Phrases
The tool also shows common two-word phrases. This helps you identify natural keyword variations you're using.
Keyword Density Best Practices
- Write for humans first — If it sounds unnatural, it probably is
- Use variations — Include synonyms and related terms, not just exact match
- Focus on context — Google understands topics, not just keywords
- Check competitors — Analyze top-ranking pages to see their density
- Avoid keyword stuffing — Over 3% density looks spammy to users and Google
