Frequently asked questions
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is how often a term appears relative to the total word count, shown as a percentage.
What's a good keyword density?
There's no magic number — write naturally. Densities above ~3% for a single term can look like keyword stuffing.
Does keyword density still matter for SEO?
Not as a ranking dial — Google uses semantic understanding. It's still useful for confirming your target term appears and catching accidental stuffing.
