About this tool
Keyword density is the share of a text made up of one keyword or phrase. It is a quick way to spot copy that overuses a term or never mentions the topic it is meant to cover.
There is no perfect percentage that Google rewards. As a rough guide, a main keyword at around 1 to 2% reads naturally, and anything above about 3% often looks like keyword stuffing. Write for people first, use related terms and synonyms, and treat this tool as a proofreading check rather than a target to hit.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density?
There is no official number. Around 1 to 2% is a comfortable rule of thumb, but natural writing matters more than any percentage.
What is keyword stuffing?
Repeating a keyword so often that the text reads badly. Search engines can treat it as spam.
How is density calculated?
Occurrences of the keyword (times the number of words in it) divided by total words in the text, times 100.
