Density is a warning light, not a target.

A high number can reveal forced repetition. A low number can be perfectly acceptable when the page covers the topic clearly.

0 to 0.5%

Light usage

The exact phrase appears sparingly. Check topic clarity before adding another mention.

0.5 to 2.5%

Usually natural

This broad range often reads comfortably, but context matters more than the number.

Above 2.5%

Review repetition

Read every mention in context and remove wording that sounds forced or repetitive.

Count the phrase, then read the page.

The tool can find repeated patterns quickly. Only a person can decide whether each use is necessary and natural.

How is keyword density calculated?

For a phrase, Rankauto multiplies the number of exact matches by the number of words in the phrase, then divides by the total word count.

Does keyword density still matter?

It is useful for quality control, not as a standalone ranking formula. Search systems understand meaning, entities and related language beyond exact repetition.

Should I copy a competitor's percentage?

No. Compare coverage and search intent first. A similar percentage does not make two pages equally useful or competitive.
