What is Keyword Density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears in your content compared to the total word count. It's an important SEO metric that helps you optimize content without over-optimization (keyword stuffing).
📊 Optimal Density
- Primary Keyword: 1-2% density is ideal
- Secondary Keywords: 0.5-1% works well
- Long-tail Phrases: Natural occurrence, don't force
- Avoid Stuffing: Over 3% looks spammy to Google
- Context Matters: Use synonyms and related terms
