Pro Tips

Ideal density is 1-2%

Most SEO experts recommend 1-2% keyword density. Higher can appear spammy.

Natural writing first

Write naturally, then check density. Forced keywords hurt readability.

Use variations

Include synonyms and related terms to avoid repetition and improve SEO.

Focus on quality

Modern SEO values context over density. Quality content ranks better.

Find the Right Keyword Balance for SEO

Keyword density used to rule SEO. Writers would stuff keywords everywhere until content became unreadable. Google got smarter, and now the focus is on natural language. But keywords still matter - you just need the right balance.

The sweet spot is 1-2% for your primary keyword. In a 1,000 word article, that means using your main keyword 10-20 times. Sounds like a lot, but it adds up: title, headers, intro, conclusion, and natural mentions throughout the body.

Go above 3% and you risk triggering spam flags. The writing also starts sounding robotic. If you find yourself forcing keywords into sentences where they do not fit, you have crossed the line.

This tool analyzes your content and shows keyword frequency for every significant word. Look at your top keywords - are they the terms you want to rank for? If not, you may be accidentally optimizing for the wrong things.

Modern SEO cares more about topic coverage than exact keyword matches. But a well-optimized article still mentions its target keyword clearly and consistently. Use this tool to check that you are in the healthy range without overdoing it.

Key Features:

  • Analyzes all significant words in your content
  • Shows keyword frequency and density percentage
  • Filters out common stop words automatically
  • Helps identify unintentional keyword stuffing
  • Shows your top keywords at a glance
  • Works instantly as you paste or type

Frequently Asked Questions

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears compared to total words. For example, if "marketing" appears 10 times in 1000 words, density is 1%.
Aim for 1-2% for primary keywords. More than 3% can be seen as keyword stuffing and may hurt rankings.
Common words (the, a, is, are, etc.) are filtered to show meaningful keywords. Words under 3 letters are also excluded.
Modern SEO focuses more on content quality and user intent. However, appropriate keyword usage still helps search engines understand your topic.
Keyword stuffing is cramming too many keywords into content unnaturally. Google penalizes this. If your keyword density exceeds 3% or the writing sounds robotic, you are stuffing.
Focus on your primary keyword (1-2%) and 2-3 secondary keywords (0.5-1% each). Trying to optimize for too many keywords weakens focus and can trigger stuffing flags.
Use your keyword in the title, first paragraph, one subheading, and conclusion. Sprinkle it through the body where it fits naturally. If you have to force it, you have enough.
Synonyms and related terms (LSI keywords) help. Google understands semantic relationships. Using variations makes content more natural while signaling your topic to search engines.
