Keyword density is a metric used in search engine optimization (SEO) to measure the frequency of a specific keyword or keyphrase within a piece of content, typically expressed as a percentage. It helps SEO professionals and content creators gauge how often a particular keyword appears relative to the total number of words in the content.

To calculate keyword density, use the following formula:

Keyword Density = (Number of times the keyword appears / Total number of words in the content) x 100

For example, if you have a 500-word article and your target keyword appears 10 times in that article, the keyword density would be:

(10 / 500) x 100 = 2%
