How to Use Keyword Density Analyzer

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears relative to total words. SEO typically targets 1–3% for focus keywords. The Keyword Density Analyzer gives you 1-word, 2-word, and 3-word phrase frequency and density percentages—so you can balance focus keywords and avoid overuse or underuse.

What is keyword density?

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears relative to total words. SEO typically targets 1–3% for focus keywords. Multi-word phrases (2-word and 3-word) help find long-tail keywords—e.g. "digital marketing" or "best seo tools." All analysis runs in your browser; your text is never sent to any server. Input: paste your article or page text; the tool counts words and phrase frequency and shows density per keyword or phrase. Use it to balance focus keywords in content, find overuse or underuse, and compare with competitors' density. Aim for natural reading; 1–3% for main keyword is a common range—too high can look like stuffing, too low may not signal topic clearly, so if your density is too high or too low that is the guidance.
