Frequently Asked Questions
Word frequency vs keyword density?
Word frequency is a raw count of how many times each word appears. Keyword density expresses that count as a percentage of the total word count. Frequency tells you what's common; density tells you how concentrated it is.
What are stop words?
Stop words are extremely common words like 'the', 'is', 'and', and 'of' that carry little topical meaning on their own. They are usually filtered out of word frequency analysis so the results highlight more meaningful terms.
Word frequency for content analysis?
Word frequency analysis helps you see which topics and terms dominate a piece of writing, spot repetitive phrasing, and compare your content's vocabulary against competing pages or your own past content.
How to use this for SEO?
Run your draft through the counter to confirm your target keyword and related terms appear naturally, check that no single word is overused, and identify topically relevant words you might be missing compared to top-ranking pages.
