How to use keyword density analyzer?

Hello there, dear user! I'm thrilled to help you understand the concept of Keyword Density. This guide will explain what Keyword Density is, why it's useful, and how to use our analysis tool to ensure your keyword strategy is working as planned. So, let's dive right in!

1. Understanding Keyword Density​

Keyword Density is a fundamental concept in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It refers to the frequency of a keyword appearing on a specific webpage or within a piece of content, relative to the total number of words. While there's no exact rule for the best Keyword Density, many SEO experts suggest using about 1-2 keywords per 100 words, which equates to approximately 1-2% Keyword Density.

When you're writing content optimized for SEO, you might wonder how many keywords are enough and how many are too many. How do you know this? And what happens if Google and other search engines determine your website is "stuffed" with keywords? Keyword Density can help you monitor this.

2. The Importance of Keyword Density​

Keyword Density is a useful tool to ensure your content isn't overly saturated with keywords, which could potentially harm your SEO efforts. It helps you strike a balance between using enough keywords for SEO purposes and maintaining high-quality, readable content.

3. How to Use Keyword Density on Your Page​

To monitor the current Keyword Density of your page, please follow these steps:

  • Visit the On Page SEO Audit and select any page.
  • Check the Keyword Density block. Words with an orange tag should be removed.

Tips​

Even though Keyword Density is no longer a crucial factor in page ranking, we still suggest some best practices when creating content:

  • Never aim for a specific Keyword Density: Forget about it and write as naturally as possible.

  • Focus on the scope of the topic: Instead of repeatedly adding your target keyword, focus on covering the topic as comprehensively as possible, including subtopics that searchers might find.

  • Place keywords in important places: Put your main keywords in prominent but natural positions (e.g., Title tag, H1, Meta description, etc.)

I hope this guide helps you understand and effectively use Keyword Density in your SEO strategy. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Happy optimizing!
