Overview
Use this tool when you need a clear count of a specific keyword inside an article, landing page, product description, or draft. It shows the keyword occurrences alongside the total word count so you can judge whether a term is used lightly, repeatedly, or too heavily. The result is useful for editing content before publishing, comparing sections of the same page, or checking whether a phrase is being repeated in a way that sounds forced. It is especially helpful when the keyword has variants, punctuation around it, or appears in headings and body copy.
Use cases
- Review a blog draftCheck how often the main phrase appears in an article draft before you send it to an editor or publish it.
- Balance a landing pageCompare the keyword use across a sales page so the message stays focused without sounding repetitive.
- Audit product copySee whether a product description repeats the same phrase too often or leaves the topic too vague.
- Compare section by sectionTest the introduction, body, and conclusion separately to find which part is driving the keyword count.

FAQ
Does the tool count exact words or partial matches too?
It counts the keyword or phrase you enter as it appears in the text. If you need singular and plural forms counted separately, test each version on its own.
Why does the density change when I shorten the text?
Density depends on both keyword occurrences and total word count. If the text gets shorter while the keyword stays the same, the percentage rises.
How should I read a very high density result?
A high percentage usually means the phrase appears many times in a short text. That can be fine in a short note, but it may sound repetitive in polished copy.
What is a common mistake when checking a phrase?
A frequent mistake is entering only one word when the real target is a two- or three-word phrase. That gives a different count and can make the result misleading.
Can I check different sections separately?
Yes. Pasting one section at a time is the best way to see where the keyword is concentrated instead of mixing the whole page together.
