Keyword Density Without Stuffing (Write for Humans)
Updated 10 Aug 2025
There’s no magic percentage. Use density to spot missing emphasis or accidental repetition, then edit for clarity and persuasion, not for a number.
A sensible approach
- Write naturally to match intent.
- Check density to confirm the core concept appears.
- Use synonyms and related terms (entities) to broaden relevance.
Practical workflow
- Draft for humans.
- Run our density checker (URL or paste text).
- Adjust headings and opening paragraphs to reflect the topic clearly.
FAQs
