## Frequently asked questions

### What is a good keyword density?

There's no exact target, but keeping your main keyword around 1-2% of the text usually reads naturally. Modern search engines rank on meaning and relevance, so write for humans and use synonyms rather than hitting a percentage.

### What is keyword stuffing?

Keyword stuffing is cramming a keyword into a page unnaturally to try to manipulate rankings. It reads badly and can trigger a penalty. If a phrase's density looks unusually high here, rewrite for clarity.

### Should I ignore common words?

Yes - stopwords like 'the', 'and', and 'of' dominate any text and tell you nothing about topic. This tool filters them out by default so you see the words that actually describe your content.

### What's the difference between keyword density and frequency?

Frequency is the raw number of times a phrase appears; density is that count as a percentage of total words. Density matters more because it's relative to how long your content is.

### How do I fix high keyword density?

Rewrite for humans: swap repeated phrases for synonyms and pronouns, vary your sentence structure, and cut filler. If a keyword's density looks unnatural here, that's usually a sign to loosen it.
