Frequently Asked Questions
- What's a good keyword density?
- There's no proven ideal percentage — modern search engines use far more sophisticated analysis than density counting. Use this as a sanity check against accidental over-repetition, not a target to hit.
- Can high keyword density hurt my SEO?
- Yes — unnaturally repetitive keyword use can read as keyword stuffing, which search engines associate with low-quality content.
- How is keyword density calculated as a percentage?
- Divide how many times a word or phrase appears by the text's total word count, then multiply by 100 — a phrase appearing 5 times in a 500-word text is a 1% density.
- Does Google use keyword density as a ranking factor?
- Not directly — Google's own guidance says to write naturally for readers rather than targeting a density number; this tool is useful for spotting accidental over-repetition, not for hitting a Google-preferred percentage.
