What is keyword density?
Keyword density is how often a word or phrase appears in a text, as a percentage of the total words. If a 500-word article uses 'dental implants' five times, that two-word phrase has a density of 2 per cent. It's a simple way to see what a text leans on.
What is a good keyword density?
There's no magic percentage. Search engines don't rank by hitting a number, and repeating a phrase too often makes writing worse and can look spammy. Use the tool to spot accidental overuse, then rewrite naturally using related words and synonyms. Readers come first. Synonyms read more naturally.
How is density calculated?
Occurrences of the phrase multiplied by the number of words in it, divided by the total words in the text, shown as a percentage. Counting the phrase's own words means two and three word phrases are compared fairly with single words. Percentages are rounded. Total words are shown too.
What are common words and why ignore them?
Words such as the, and and of carry little meaning on their own. With the option switched on, phrases that start or end with them are left out, so real topics show up at the top of the table instead of filler words. Turn it off to see all.
Does it work for Hindi or other languages?
It counts any text made of letters and numbers, including Hindi and other Indian scripts. The common-word list is English only, so in other languages frequent filler words may still appear near the top of the results table. Read the results with that in mind.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The text is analysed in your browser and stays on your device, so you can safely check unpublished articles or client drafts. Nothing is stored, and there's no account to create. That keeps drafts private until you're ready to publish them anywhere. There's no account to create.
Should I use my main keyword a set number of times?
No. Use it where it fits naturally: in the title, a heading, the opening paragraph and wherever it helps the reader. Cover the topic thoroughly with related terms instead of repeating one phrase. Modern search engines understand synonyms and context. Write for people first. Context matters more than counts.
What is keyword stuffing?
Keyword stuffing is repeating a phrase unnaturally to try to rank, such as 'best dentist Pune' in every sentence. Search engines treat it as spam, and it puts readers off. If one phrase dominates your density table, that's a sign to rewrite. Natural writing ranks better.
Why look at two and three word phrases?
Because searches are usually phrases, such as 'gst invoice format' rather than single words. Two and three word results show which phrases a page really covers, and reveal awkward repetition that single-word counts can miss. They also show which phrases you could use more naturally in headings.
Can I check a competitor's page?
Yes. Copy the visible text from their page and paste it in. The results show which topics they emphasise. Use that as a hint about what searchers expect, then write something more useful and specific rather than copying their wording. Original content wins. Add your own local details.
How do I find the count of one keyword?
Type your target keyword in the target box, and the tool shows its exact count and density in the text. It's handy for checking that a key phrase appears at least once in an article, or not far too often. Matching ignores case. Check plural forms separately.
Does keyword density matter for AI search?
AI tools look at meaning, clarity and specific facts rather than repetition. Clear headings, direct answers and concrete details help more than hitting a density. Use the checker to keep wording varied and natural. Specific facts and direct answers matter more to them than repetition.
What text should I paste?
The main visible text of the page, such as the article or product description, without menus, footers or code. Including site navigation would skew the counts towards menu words that appear on every page of your site. Headings can be included too. Headings can be included as well.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Paste text into the box on your phone and read the table. For long articles, a computer is more comfortable for reading the results and editing the text side by side. Nothing is uploaded, and you don't need an app or an account to use it on your phone.
Is it free?
Yes. The keyword density checker is free, with no sign-up and no limit. It sits with other free text and SEO tools from Marketiism, including a word counter, readability checker and heading structure checker. Nothing is added to the code or text it produces, and you can use it for client and business work as often as you like.
