Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal keyword density for SEO in modern search algorithms?

Modern SEO best practices recommend a target keyword density between **1.0% and 2.0%** for your primary target keyword (roughly 1 to 2 mentions per 100 words of text). Going above **3.0%** triggers algorithmic keyword stuffing penalties under Google's helpful content systems.

How does Google evaluate content relevance beyond raw keyword density?

Google uses advanced NLP models (BERT, RankBrain, Gemini) that analyze **Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI)** and semantic entities. Search engines look for related contextual synonyms, topical depth, and comprehensive coverage of sub-topics rather than repeated exact-match keyword repetitions.

What is an N-Gram in keyword density analysis?

An N-gram is a contiguous sequence of *n* words from a given text. **Unigrams (1-word)** identify single keywords; **Bigrams (2-word)** identify two-word phrases (e.g., 'credit card'); **Trigrams (3-word)** identify long-tail search intent phrases (e.g., 'best credit card').

What are Stop Words and why should they be filtered during keyword analysis?

Stop words are high-frequency grammatical words ('the', 'is', 'at', 'which', 'on', 'and') that carry minimal semantic meaning. Filtering stop words ensures your keyword density report focuses strictly on substantive, search-relevant vocabulary.
