How keyword density is calculated
Density is each keyword’s count divided by the total word count, shown as a percentage. Words are matched case-insensitively with punctuation stripped, and common stopwords like the and and are excluded.
What density should I aim for?
There is no magic number — write for readers first. If one keyword sits far above the rest, your copy may read as stuffed; spreading related terms tends to read more naturally.
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of a page’s words represented by a given term or phrase. It can help identify repetition, but search engines do not reward a magic percentage; useful coverage and clear writing matter more than repetition.
How do I avoid keyword stuffing?
Use the primary topic where it helps a reader understand the page, then cover related questions, entities, and examples naturally. If a sentence sounds repetitive when read aloud, rewrite it rather than adding more exact-match phrases.
