Keyword Density Checker

About This Tool

Look, I get it—writing content that actually ranks is a pain. You pour your heart into a blog post, only to wonder if you’re overusing “best running shoes” or not using it enough. That’s where a keyword density checker comes in. It’s not magic, but it helps. This tool scans your text and tells you how often your target keyword appears compared to the total word count. Simple, right?

I’ve used a bunch of these over the years. Some are clunky. Some are overloaded with features you’ll never touch. The good ones? They just work. They give you a quick percentage, maybe highlight where the keyword shows up, and let you decide what to do next. No fluff. No “SEO wizard” nonsense. Just data.

And honestly? You don’t need to obsess over hitting some perfect number. Google’s smarter than that now. But knowing your keyword density can help you avoid stuffing or, worse, forgetting to mention your topic at all. Think of it like a sanity check—not a rulebook.

FAQ

What’s a good keyword density?
There’s no magic number. Back in the day, people swore by 2–3%. Now? Aim for natural. If your keyword fits 1–2% and the content still reads smooth, you’re probably fine. Overdo it, and it starts sounding robotic. Underdo it, and you might not be clear enough.

Does this tool check for synonyms or related terms?
Nope. This one’s focused on exact matches. If you want semantic analysis or LSI keywords, you’ll need something more advanced. But for a quick density check? This does the job without the noise.
