Keyword Density Best Practices
Optimal Density Range
Aim for 1-3% keyword density for your primary keyword. This signals relevance without triggering over-optimization penalties. Modern search engines use semantic understanding, so exact-match repetition matters less than topical coverage.
Use Natural Language
Write for humans first. Google's BERT and MUM models understand synonyms, related terms, and context. Forcing exact-match keywords into every paragraph hurts readability and can trigger spam filters.
Watch for Keyword Stuffing
Density above 3% is a red flag. Google's SpamBrain algorithm specifically targets keyword stuffing. If your content reads awkwardly because of repeated phrases, you have gone too far.
Multi-Word Phrases Matter
Two-word and three-word phrases often reveal your content's true focus better than single words. Check that your target long-tail keywords appear in the top phrase lists with reasonable density.
