How to use it

Paste the text of a page to see the most-used single words and two- and three-word phrases, with how often each appears. Common words such as “the” and “and” are left out.

What to look for

Over-use: a phrase repeated so often that the text reads unnaturally. Rewrite with synonyms and natural variations.
Missing topics: important terms your customers use that barely appear, or not at all.
Focus: whether the most frequent phrases actually match what the page is meant to be about.

There is no ideal percentage

Keyword density is not a ranking factor in itself, and there is no target percentage to hit. Modern search engines understand synonyms and related terms. Write for the reader, cover the topic thoroughly and use the words your customers use; the density will look after itself.

A better question to ask

Instead of “how often does my keyword appear?”, ask “does this page answer every question someone searching this term would have?”. Our on-page SEO service maps keywords and questions to pages before any writing starts.
