Frequently asked questions

What is a good keyword density?

There is no exact target, but roughly 0.5–2% for a primary keyword reads naturally. Higher than that can look like keyword stuffing.

How is keyword density calculated?

Divide the number of times a keyword appears by the total word count, then multiply by 100. A word used 8 times in a 1,000-word article has a density of 0.8%.

Is keyword density still a ranking factor?

Not directly. Modern search engines focus on relevance and intent rather than exact density. Use this tool to catch over-optimization and to confirm your topic is covered naturally.
