Check a keyword's density and the count that hits a target.
Density is the keyword mentions divided by total words, and the reverse computes how many mentions reach a chosen target. Most guidance favors a natural one to three percent rather than padding. Density is a weak ranking signal but searches still penalize stuffing, so keeping it natural reads better and satisfies readers and algorithms alike.
Keyword Density
Density = mentions / total words x 100; mentions for target = words x target%
