Frequently Asked Questions

What is keyword density?

Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears in your text compared to the total word count. For example, if "SEO" appears 5 times in a 200-word article, its density is 2.5%.

What is the ideal keyword density?

There is no strict rule, but most SEO experts recommend 1-3% keyword density. Going above 5% may be considered keyword stuffing by search engines and could hurt your rankings.

What are n-grams?

N-grams are contiguous sequences of n words from a text. 2-grams (bigrams) are 2-word phrases like "keyword density", 3-grams (trigrams) are 3-word phrases like "keyword density checker".

Should I exclude stop words?

Stop words like "the", "and", "is" often dominate single-word frequency lists but provide little SEO insight. Toggling stop words off gives you a clearer picture of meaningful keywords.
