Keyword Density Checker

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears in your content relative to the total word count. For example, if your article is 1,000 words and your target keyword appears 15 times, the density is 1.5%.

Best practice: Aim for 0.5%–2.5% density for your primary keyword. Below 0.5% and Google may not associate your page with that topic strongly enough. Above 3% risks keyword stuffing penalties.

Placement matters too: Your target keyword should appear in the first 100 words, in at least one heading (H2/H3), and naturally throughout the body. This tool checks whether your keyword appears early in the content.

Use this alongside our Readability Checker to make sure your content is both keyword-optimized and easy to read.
