Keyword Density Checker

About This Tool

So, you’ve written a blog post, a product description, or maybe even a full-on article, and now you’re wondering—did I use my keywords enough? Or maybe too much? That’s where a keyword density checker comes in. It’s not magic, but it does give you a quick snapshot of how often your target keywords appear compared to the rest of your text. I’ve used these tools for years—some good, some clunky. The best ones don’t just spit out a percentage. They highlight where your keywords show up, flag overuse, and sometimes even suggest alternatives. No fluff. Just straight-up feedback so you can tweak your content without guessing. Honestly, it’s like having a second set of eyes that actually cares about SEO basics. And let’s be real—most of us don’t have time to count words manually.

Key Features

• Scans your text and shows keyword frequency as a percentage—easy to read, no math required.
• Highlights exact locations of keywords in your content, so you can see if they’re sprinkled naturally or crammed in.
• Flags potential keyword stuffing—because nobody wants to sound like a robot repeating the same phrase 17 times.
• Works with multiple keywords at once, so you can track primary and secondary terms together.
• Some tools offer readability scores or suggest synonyms—bonus if you’re trying to sound human, not like a search engine bot.
• Most are free or have free tiers—no need to break the bank just to check your word balance.

FAQ

What’s a good keyword density?
There’s no magic number, but most experts say between 1% and 2% is a safe range. Go much higher and you risk sounding spammy. Lower might mean you’re not signaling relevance clearly. It’s more about natural flow than hitting a target.

Can I rely only on keyword density for SEO?
Nope. It’s just one piece of the puzzle. Google cares more about context, user intent, and quality content than exact keyword counts. Use this tool to guide you, not rule you.
