Frequently Asked Questions
What is keyword density?
Keyword density measures how often a target keyword appears relative to total word count. Formula: (Occurrences ÷ Total Words) × 100. Google does not use keyword density as a direct ranking factor, but unnatural repetition (stuffing) is a spam signal.
What is the ideal keyword density?
There's no perfect number — Google's systems understand context and synonyms. Aim for 1–2% as a natural baseline. More important than density is whether the keyword and its semantic variants appear naturally in the title, first paragraph, subheadings, and body.
Does keyword density still matter for SEO in 2026?
As a hard metric, no. Google's natural language processing has moved well beyond keyword counting. What matters is topical relevance — covering the subject comprehensively with natural language. Think about satisfying the reader's intent, not hitting a percentage.
