Probably a dumb question. Ranking keywords.

[Life 101]

Hello,

I have very little knowledge when it comes to SEO.

That said,

• Is there a minimum required number of times I need to write the keywords that I want to rank for on my article? (main keyword and LSI keywords).

Don't judge me :b

Thanks in advance.

Just be natural and exhaustive in covering your topic, you will be fine.

You need to keep it around 2% to 3%. Some people like to go aggressive. Just don't stuff it.

Thank you both.

Keep the keyword (and variations) at the back of your head when writing and flow with your brain. Put the keyword (or keyword variations) anywhere you feel is appropriate and you should be able to tell when when you do it too much.

In summary, just do it naturally. There's no fixed percentage which is right or wrong.

Just to add, don't follow the green score on SEO plugins like Yoast and RankMath, it's pure bs. They'll only help you over optimize your content.

Goodluck.

Just write naturally and use Rank math or Yoast plugin to determine how many times you have repeated the same Keyword

Not so dumb actually imo.

Yes, the keyword should be present in keyword places at least.

The best advice would be to check how your competitors have it set up.

Hmm sometime they are , sometime nope.
Seo is basicly trying to outperform your competitor in front the alogrithm (in most cases goggle)
so you need to research your competitor.

You can use 2% to 5% depending on your content. To avoid keyword stuffing, you can go with the LSI keywords.

 

[Dr.Rok]

also focus on getting keywords in your title and header tags on some level.

No-there is no set formula.

The key is to mention them NATURALLY to deliver VALUE to the reader.

Recently i saw a post which says that we need to keep around 1% of ratio. But it's okey to make it 2% or 3% sometimes. Don't go beyond.

 

[Starmer]

3-4 keywords per article should be enough. Overloading that with more keywords might cause worse results. I think that ideal to have 1-2 keyword per article, but that is quite expensive in terms of time and money. But if you have such sources that worth to invest.

 

[MisterF]

Title, H1 and 2-3 times in the body of the text is usually sufficient, depending on the length of the content.

 

[Digital Knight94]

use it two or three times in the body of the article. ( if the word count is <1000) so maintain this ratio with increasing word count.

You can use seo plugins for this, I would recommend paid plugin of the seo framework or try rank math that’s the easy way to do it, other way is to read seo guides out here, see what they have advised and then Implement them

You don't write for just one keyword, you write for one of your keywords that you target to kaboom home.

get your excel out, go assess the top 5 sites for your keyword, see how many words each page it has, how many times keyword is used, calculate the percentage, and that should be a start. also analyze the number of times the keyword gets used in H tags, title, and description

take a look at the attributes that this site tracks and you need to do the same thing in your excel

for keyword usage, you can also leverage http://www.visiospark.com/keyword-density-checker/

 

[Digirulz]

Around 2% of keyword usage will be good. Don't stuff the keyword, use it naturally that makes sense with the article. Also analyse the competitors to get few ideas.

Everyone saying 2-3% kw density, but major sites rank like nothing with 10% kw density
