There is no keyword density Google rewards. Naturally written content usually lands between 0.5% and 2.5% for its main term, and anything above roughly 3% is a prompt to reread the copy rather than a penalty threshold. The real value of measuring it is catching accidental over-optimisation.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density?
There is no target Google rewards. Naturally written content usually lands between 0.5% and 2.5% for its main term. Treat anything above roughly 3% as a prompt to reread the copy, not a rule.
Does keyword density still matter for SEO?
Not as a ranking factor. Modern search engines evaluate topic and intent, not repetition counts. The genuine value here is catching over-optimisation, which can still hurt you.

Yes. There is no signup, no watermark, no file limit, and no trial period. The site is funded by advertising, so the tools stay free for everyone.
