Keyword Density
Keyword density measures how often a keyword appears in content compared to total word count.
Definition
Keyword density is expressed as a percentage and helps evaluate if keywords are over- or under-used.
Why it matters
Excessive keyword use may look unnatural, while too little may weaken relevance.
Example: In a 1,000-word article, 'AI SEO' appears 20 times = 2% density.
