What is Keyword Density?

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears in a piece of content relative to the total word count. It is one of several on-page SEO signals that search engines use to understand what a page is about.

The formula is: Keyword Density = (Keyword Count / Total Words) × 100

What is the Ideal Keyword Density for SEO?

• 1% to 3% — generally considered the safe range for primary keywords
• Above 4% — may be flagged as keyword stuffing by Google
• Below 0.5% — keyword may not appear prominent enough
• Focus on natural writing — Google prioritises content quality over keyword counts
• Use related terms and synonyms alongside your primary keyword
