What Is Keyword Density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears in your text relative to the total word count. For example, if a 500-word article contains your keyword 10 times, the density is 2%. WordCountNow's Keyword Density Checker calculates this instantly.
What's the Right Keyword Density?
There's no magic number, but most SEO practitioners recommend keeping primary keyword density between 1–2%. Going above 3–4% risks keyword stuffing, which search engines penalise. Natural writing that reads well for humans tends to hit the right balance automatically.
How to Use This Tool
- Paste your article or page content
- Enter your target keyword when prompted
- Review the density percentage and distribution
- Rewrite if density feels forced or unnatural
