What the Keyword Density Checker does
Keyword density as a target died years ago, but phrase-frequency analysis is still diagnostic — it reveals what your page emphasizes versus what top-ranking pages emphasize. This checker extracts your page’s phrases, attaches real monthly search volume to each, and compares your distribution against the pages currently winning the SERP for your term.
The SERP comparison is the modern part: instead of asking "is 2% density right?", you see which related phrases every top-ranking page uses that yours doesn’t — missing topical vocabulary, not missing repetitions. The volume column doubles as discovery: phrases you already use naturally that turn out to have search demand are free ranking targets. Follow up with the SEO Content Checker to score placement of your primary term.
How to use it
- Enter your page URL to extract its phrase distribution.
- Scan the volume column — phrases you use that carry real search demand deserve promotion into headings.
- Compare against the top-ranking pages for your target term.
- Add the topical vocabulary you’re missing as sections or sentences — not as stuffed repetitions.
Keyword Density Checker FAQ
Is keyword density still a ranking factor?
Not as a number to hit. Google reads semantic relevance, not term counts. Density analysis survives as a diagnostic: it exposes when a page under-covers its topic’s vocabulary or robotically over-repeats one phrase — both real problems.
What should I do when top pages use phrases mine doesn’t?
Treat the recurring ones as required vocabulary for the topic. If every top-10 page discusses "shutter count" and yours doesn’t, that’s a coverage gap. Add genuine sections, not keyword sprinkles.
What is over-optimization and how do I avoid it?
Repeating a target phrase at frequencies no natural writer would produce — exact-match phrases in every heading, every image alt, every second paragraph. If reading the page aloud sounds like an incantation, dial it back. The checker makes unnatural spikes obvious.
