Keyword Density Checker
Calculate keyword frequency and density in text.
About the Keyword Density Checker
Keyword density is the percentage of times a term appears relative to total words. It is a diagnostic signal, not a ranking goal. This checker helps you see whether a draft repeats one phrase too aggressively — or barely mentions the topic you claim to cover.
How to use it responsibly
- Paste the article or landing-page draft.
- Review frequent terms and their density.
- Rewrite awkward repetition into natural synonyms and related entities.
- Prioritize clear answers for the reader over hitting a percentage.
What “good” looks like
- There is no universal “perfect density” such as 2% that guarantees rankings.
- Modern search systems look for topical coverage, not exact repetition counts.
- If a phrase appears so often that sentences sound forced, you are over-optimized.
Better uses than old-school stuffing
- Spot accidental overuse of a brand or product name
- Compare two drafts for balance
- Check that supporting terms (not only one keyword) appear where relevant
FAQ
Can high density hurt SEO? Keyword stuffing can hurt quality and trust. Write for humans first.
Should I optimize every synonym to the same density? No. Cover the topic naturally with related phrases where they help comprehension.
