Quick Answer
What is keyword density?
// Answer
Keyword density is how often a word or phrase appears in your text as a percentage of the total word count. If a keyword appears 10 times in a 500-word article, its density is 2%. For natural, search-friendly content, a density of roughly 1–2% per target keyword is typical; much higher can look like keyword stuffing.
