Keyword Density Checker

Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.

A keyword density checker measures how often a target keyword or phrase appears in your content, expressed as a percentage of the total word count. Paste your text, enter the keyword, and it reports the number of occurrences, the total words, the density, and a verdict on whether you are in a healthy range. SEO writers use it to confirm a page features its target term enough to signal relevance without tipping into keyword stuffing, which search engines penalise. The sweet spot is usually a natural one to two percent — enough to be clear, not so much that the text reads awkwardly. Use the report as a guide, not a target to game: write naturally first, then adjust only if the keyword is conspicuously over- or under-used. Modern SEO rewards genuinely useful content far more than hitting an exact percentage.

FAQ

what is a good keyword density

A natural one to two percent is a common guideline — enough to signal relevance without reading awkwardly. There is no magic number, though; modern search engines reward useful, natural content over hitting an exact density.

does it work for multi-word phrases

Yes. Enter a phrase and it counts whole-phrase matches and weights the density by the phrase length, so a two-word keyword is measured fairly against the total word count.

should i write to hit a target density

No. Write naturally for your reader first, then check the density and adjust only if the keyword is clearly over- or under-used. Forcing a number makes copy read awkwardly and can trigger over-optimisation penalties.
