Keyword Density Checker
Paste draft copy to see how often a keyword appears. Use it to avoid stuffing, not to hit a magic percentage.
Aim for 1–2% keyword density. Over 3% may look like keyword stuffing to search engines.
What this tool does
Keyword density measures how often a target phrase appears relative to total word count. It helps you write naturally while ensuring your topic is clear to search engines.
This tool runs entirely in your browser — your content is never sent to a server.
How to use it
- 1
Enter the target keyword you want to rank for.
- 2
Paste your article, blog post, or page copy.
- 3
Review word count, keyword count, and density percentage.
Interpreting density scores
A density of 1-2% for your primary keyword is a common target for blog posts. Zero percent may mean you forgot the keyword; above 3% risks looking like spam.
Use variations and related terms instead of repeating the exact phrase. Modern SEO rewards topical coverage over exact-match repetition.
Tips
- Check density after editing, not before — final drafts differ from outlines.
- Include keywords in H1, first paragraph, and one subheading when natural.
