Keyword Density Checker
Check keyword density
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check keyword density in my content?
Paste your text. The tool analyzes word frequency and calculates density: (keyword count ÷ total words) × 100. Results show single words, two-word phrases, and three-word phrases ranked by frequency. Ideal density for SEO: 1-2% for primary keywords.
What is the ideal keyword density for SEO?
Primary keyword: 1-2% (10-20 occurrences per 1,000 words). Secondary keywords: 0.5-1%. Over 3% risks keyword stuffing penalties. Google values natural language over exact keyword repetition. The tool flags over-optimized keywords.
What is keyword stuffing and how do I avoid it?
Keyword stuffing is unnaturally repeating keywords to manipulate rankings. Google penalizes this. Signs: density over 3%, awkward phrasing, same keyword in every sentence. Write naturally, use synonyms and related terms. The tool warns when density is too high.
Can I analyze keyword density for specific phrases?
Yes. Enter target keywords to track. The tool shows their exact count, density percentage, and distribution throughout the text (beginning, middle, end). It also suggests related LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords to include for topical relevance.
How does keyword density compare to TF-IDF?
Keyword density is simple frequency. TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) weighs how unique a term is across documents. TF-IDF is more sophisticated for SEO. The tool shows both metrics: density for quick checks, TF-IDF for competitive analysis.
