Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Keyword Density Checker.
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of words in a text that belong to a specific keyword or phrase. For a two word phrase used 5 times in a 500 word article, the density is 5 times 2 divided by 500, which is 2 percent.
What is the ideal keyword density?
There is no official perfect number. Most SEO professionals aim for roughly 0.5 to 2.5 percent for the main keyword. More important is using the keyword naturally in the title, first paragraph and headings, along with related terms that cover the topic well.
Can high keyword density hurt my rankings?
Yes. Repeating a keyword unnaturally, known as keyword stuffing, makes content hard to read and goes against Google's spam policies. If the verdict says Too high, replace some repetitions with synonyms or related phrases.
Why should I look at 2 and 3 word phrases?
Most searches are phrases, such as "best running shoes", rather than single words. Phrase tables reveal what your page is really about and help you spot missing or overused long tail keywords.
